(BW)-Nov. 3-InforMax Inc., (Nasdaq: INMX) a leading global provider of bioinformatics software solutions for the analysis and interpretation of genomic, proteomic and other biomolecular data, today announced the release of Vector NTI(TM) Suite Version 5.3 for the Macintosh platform, an integrated desktop software package designed for individual scientists engaged in genomic and proteomic research.
"We are pleased to offer our Mac customers an enhanced desktop sequence analysis software package," said Alex Titomirov, InforMax, President and Chief Executive Officer. "The Mac is and will continue to be an important platform for desktop analysis in molecular biology."
There are currently more than 20,000 Vector NTI Suite users and software licenses in academic, biotech, and pharmaceutical companies worldwide. The Vector NTI Suite consists of four major application programs, including: Vector NTI(R) for mapping and illustration, primer design and analysis, and strategic recombinant design; BioPlot(TM) for protein and nucleic acid sequence analysis; AlignX(TM) for multiple sequence alignment; and ContigExpress(TM) for sequencing project management and fragment assembly. All the programs of the suite are integrated on the user's desktop.
Unlike other molecular biology software programs, Vector NTI Suite contains ResearchLogic(TM) - a system that integrates data, analyses and presentations in a naturally efficient workflow among the applications enabling faster visualization, management and retrieval of data.
New features of Vector NTI 5.3 for Macintosh include:
ContigExpress: Previously only available on Windows/PC versions of Vector NTI suite, the MAC software program now contains ContigExpress for sequencing project management and fragment assembly.
Mac-specific user's manual: A new manual has been written for Vector NTI 5.3, which is currently available for download as a PDF file from the InforMax website at informaxinc.com.
