Plasmid

---

A piece of circular DNA found in bacteria, that can be multiplied independently of the main bacterial chromosome, hence very useful in cloning technology.

• Review of BioEdit - 1 (BITS - 2005): This package is quick and easy-to-use for editing sequences and plasmid drawing. However it is limited when it comes to sequence analysis, with much fewer tools than GCG. It can accept a wide range of file formats and with the additional accessory applications such as ClustalW, it is particularly useful for performing multiple sequence alignments and editing them. It can be customised by adding external applications and by adding www tools.
• SeqSearch: SeqSearch is build around a collection of databases for restriction enzymes, DNA sequences, plasmids, contructs, oligo's and motifs and offers an extended set of editing and analysis tools.
