101 things you (maybe) didn’t know about MacVector: #10 – Displaying Amino Acids As Triple Letter Codes In Translations
Following on from my last post about turning on translations in the sequence Editor, I thought I should point out how to display amino acid translations using the 3-letter code rather than the default single-letter code. I don’t know about you, but I have a hard time remembering that “W” is the single-letter IUPAC code…

101 things you (maybe) didn’t know about MacVector: #9 – Showing Translations In The DNA Sequence Editor
If you have used MacVector for many years, you’ll remember the days when the single sequence editor was THE main way you interacted with MacVector. When MacVector 10 was introduced back in 2007, the Editor became just one tab in the single sequence window along with Map, Features and Annotations tabs, all of which at…

Displaying translations alongside your DNA sequence
There’s a few ways to display an amino acid translation in the same window as your DNA or RNA sequence. (1) You can show either three or six frame translations directly in the editor. To do so simply press and hold down the STRANDS toolbar button. You’ll see the following menu and be able to…
