What is BVTech Plasmid?
BVTech Plasmid is a free, open-source software application designed specifically for working with plasmid DNA sequences and maps. It provides a user-friendly graphical interface that allows researchers, students, and educators to easily design, analyze, and share plasmid maps and sequences.
With BVTech Plasmid, users can quickly draw circular or linear plasmid maps by adding common genetic features like promoters, coding sequences, terminators, etc. The software includes a full library of common vector backbones and parts that can be easily incorporated into plasmid designs. Users can also import plasmid sequences in GenBank or FASTA formats and automatically generate maps.
Key features of BVTech Plasmid include:
- Intuitive graphical interface for drawing plasmid maps
- Large library of common plasmids, vectors, promoters, tags, etc.
- DNA sequence editor with feature auto-annotation
- Design and simulation of Golden Gate and Gibson assembly
- Analysis tools like sequence translation, ORF finding, and restriction digestion
- Generation of high-resolution plasmid maps for publication
- Sharing and exporting of maps and sequences
- Available on Windows, Mac and Linux
With its flexibility, intuitive interface, and powerful features for plasmid engineering and analysis, BVTech Plasmid can enhance productivity for researchers, students, and educators working with plasmid DNA across a wide range of life science disciplines.
