What is ApE - A plasmid Editor?
ApE (A Plasmid Editor) is a feature-rich software application for creating, viewing, editing, graphing, and analyzing DNA plasmid sequences. It is designed to be simple to use, yet powerful enough for the daily tasks of a molecular biologist.
Some key features and capabilities of ApE include:
- Intuitive graphical user interface to draw plasmid maps
- Support for common editing operations like cut, copy, paste, insert, remove, reverse complement, and auto-annotate
- Analyze plasmids with ORF and restriction enzyme tools
- Convenient import/export of GenBank, FASTA, tabular files and image formats
- Available cross-platform for Windows, MacOS and Linux
- Free and open-source software released under the GNU General Public License
With its lab bench-like experience, ApE simplifies the process of documenting, sharing, viewing, and manipulating plasmids for molecular cloning workflows. Its wide range of features eliminates the need for multiple specialized tools, enabling scientists and researchers to organize and analyze plasmid sequences with ease.
