OK Chris,
Hold your horses... First of all, it MIGHT HELP if you consulted the MANUAL,
like the rest of us do, before starting to shout!
Here's one way to do it:
ad 1) Digest the vector with MAP and the enzyme of your choice; from the
output note the position of the cut-site.
ad 2) Use ASSEMBLE to construct the new sequence: vector (1 -- cutsite) +
insert + vector (cutsite+1 -- end).
ad 3) Use program MAPSORT with the option "-PLASMID" or "-FRAGMENTS" to
mark the position of the insert (so cut it with the previous enzyme
again). Depending on whether you want to show the cutsites as
tickmarks or as blocks, you choose either "-PLASMID" or "-FRAG".
Use the resulting file as input for the PLASMIDMAP program.
Hope this helps you through Eastern.
Cheers,
Jack
