Hi Jennifer,
Have a look at the Vector NTI Viewer (download for free at:
http://www.informaxinc.com/free/viewer.html). This viewer draws a
graphical representation of a sequence, with features (exons, introns,
restriction sites etc.) shown as arrows and boxes. The sequence and
features are drawn to scale. For further refinement it is possible to
import the map in CorelDraw as vector graphics. The viewer can load
EMBL-, FASTA-, and GenBank files. The features must have GenBank
format and can be produced with Sequin from NCBI for example (if you
plan a GenBank submission, you can use Sequin for the preparation of
your sequence too).
Good Luck,
Werner.
