If you are using Clone Manager Professional version 9, you can download a software patch that will update your program to the latest version (ver 9.2). This update adds a new module to retrieve Entrez files, a new module that supports Topoisomerase cloning, and a number of modifications to provide additional support for GenBank file features. You can also download the latest version of the program's compiled HTML Help.
This update includes a new Retrieve from Entrez (E-utils) function. You can now retrieve sequence files from the Entrez system at NCBI using a new module that can directly access the NCBI file system (instead of using the Entrez web site browser interface). Once you locate the file you need, you can view the file in GenBank format or import the molecule for immediate use in Clone Manager.
This update also includes a new Topoisomerase Cloning Wizard to simulate cloning using Topo® Cloning techniques (Invitrogen Corp). It will help you select the appropriate components, show you the proposed result, and create the resulting recombinant molecule.
With this update, you can now read in segmented features (joins) when importing GenBank files and you can enter join segments for your own sequence files, as needed. Clone Manager also can now read in, display, and retain feature qualifiers for imported GenBank files. You can specify the codon start of a feature and set the translation table (genetic code) to be used for translation for your molecule. The Clone Manager XML format (*.cx5) has also been updated to use UTF-8 encoding to support international characters.
This update also includes all corrections and additions made in prior version 9 incremental updates, including a new join sequences function, an updated find sequence search with limited mismatches, a new sequencing primer wizard, and a new Gateway Cloning Wizard that helps you to simulate cloning using Gateway® Recombination Cloning techniques (Invitrogen Corp).
Concurrent User License holders -- this update also includes a network administrator's toolkit. These administrator tools will help you to install and configure the software, turn on token logging, monitor tokens in use, and trouble-shoot problems you may encounter running the network edition of Clone Manager.
Individual or WorkGroup (Seat) License holders can download and install the incremental software update. Click below to begin the download to your computer. When prompted, select Save to write a copy of the file to your hard disk.
