Plasmid maps
Plasmid maps are graphical representation
of plasmids, that
show the locations of major identifiable
landmarks on DNA like restriction enzyme
sites, gene of interest, plasmid name and
length etc. |
Draw
plasmid maps with SimVector
SimVector
is an exceptional tool to draw publication
quality plasmid maps. The graphics can
then be enhanced with patterns, styles,
lines, and colors. SimVector generates
plasmid map images in vector graphic format
for Adobe Illustrator 10 and Microsoft
PowerPoint 2002.
Using SimVector you can transform GenBank
annotations to graphical features (linear
and circular sequence maps)

Definition
of Plasmid |
| A self-replicating extra-chromosomal
element, usually a small segment of duplex
DNA found in some bacterial cells. Plasmids
are used as a vector for the introduction
of new genes into bacteria, allowing foreign
"recombinant" DNA to be recognized
by a cell's protein-making machinery. |
