software for plasmid drawing - (Jan/05/2010 )

For the publication, the plasmid should be drawn as EPS format. i'd like to ask which kind of software usually is used for this purpose? Thanks in advance.

You can export vector map from Vector NTI to adobe illustrator, the most sophisticated vector graphics editor.

i didn't have this software

Dear!
No software is required...
U can go for this link...
Paste your sequence and Draw Plasmid map

You can use pDRAW32 or GENtle or plasmid processor.
All of wich are freeware

hi friends,
I am new to R.I would like to know R-PLUS.Does any know where can I get the free training for R-PLUS.

Try SnapGene Viewer:

It's free, and you can export the plasmid maps in many different formats.

I use ApE (a plasmid editor) freeware from here to make the images and then export in eps format.

Dear bob1 do you know how you can simply enter a "fake" plasmid with only certain restriction sites/genes?
For example: I only know 3 genes that are on the plasmid and 10 restriction enzymes , for the rest I know nothing about the sequence of the plasmid itself.
So how can I create this kind of plasmid? I cant seem to find how this works.

Just get random sequence from anywhere (even create it yourself by using repeats) make sure that it is roughly the right size. Add your genes of interest/restriction sites, select them and then add them as features or use the restriction site tool to highlight the RE sites then draw the map...
