CloneMap provides a complete solution for fast and easy plasmid map drawing,restriction site mapping, and virtural cloning. High-quality plasmid maps can be created with or without DNA sequences. Map features can be added by restriction site searching, feature table parsing, or easy, interactive manual entry. Restriction sites can be displayed on the map using predefined enzyme filters, or reported as text files summarizing sites together with DNA sequences. Common DNA sequence manipulations such as translation, open reading frame identification and display, and sequence conversion are provided. Free form graphic drawing objects, floating text, and Windows metafile can be added to the map to enhance map presentation. Map fragments can be inserted or deleted to generate related maps, with concomitant changes in the underlying DNA sequences.
