Hi!
We have recently tested Lasergene and Gene Construction Kit 2.
Lasergene (DNASTAR) is very good, and you only have to buy the modules
you need (i.e. align, primerselect, editseq, Seqman, mapdraw...), but
this does'nt make it cheap...its VERY expensive (about $5000 for all
modules).
you can get a demo version (runs 1 month) to test it:
go to: http://www.dnastar.com
Gene Construction Kit 2 (Textco) is a very good plasmid drawing program,
it converts a DBA sequence into a linear or circular graph. it also has
a powerfull restriction site search function. Price: $299
you can also get a demo (save and print disabled):
go to: http://www.textco.com
bye
Heinz
