Hi.

I was using vector NTI (from invitrogen) to map out my primers to genes. I could visually see the gene (exon, intron, whatever I want to mark) and below I could see the sequence.

Then, then evil corporation invitrogen started charging for vector NTI (and charging alot!). I guess everyone's gotta make buck, but now I can't even access the dang files!

Anyway, is there another program I could use to do similar 'mapping'? Or a gene diagram maker that I could mark, or something? Bioedit (I just got it, haven't quite figured out if it can do what I need or not)?  Anything?

If you have version 10 of vector NTI, then the registration should continue to function.  If you have a look at the site and/or contact your local Invitrogen rep, they should be able to help.

They are becoming a bit of an evil empire with regards to their stuff now.

Yeah, but my licence expired and they aren't renewing. That's why I'm looking for something else.

Anyone have any ideas. I'm getting a little tired going through all these different old programs - surely someone is using something out there?

SnapGene Viewer (free for Mac and Windows) has a great interface for displaying primers aligned to a reference sequence:

It will open Vector NTI .gb and .ma4 files.
