What's new in EnzymeX 3.1

Jun 2, 2008
  • Fixed a serious bug where non-palindromic cutters were only found in one direction
  • Significantly speed up the searching algorithm (3-5x)
  • Progress sheet is only shown when search will take longer than a few seconds. Delay time can be set in preferences.
  • Improved the enzyme inspector to always represent the selected enzyme AND selected set of the main window
  • Improved searching on enzymes in the different seachfields
  • Improved selection in sequence and translation textviews
  • Added a Spotlight based file browser (10.4 Tiger only)
  • Added a Spotlight importer plugin
  • Enzyme map is now correctly recalculated when switching sets
  • Ambiguous base variants other than N are now preserved and automatically converted to N.
  • Faster filtering of non-supported characters
  • Enzymes that do not cut can now still be added to the digest reaction
  • Editing of the sequence now properly preserves the marked region
  • Removed warning that a set does not contain any enzymes that would keep popping up in the inspector
  • Added support for reverse selection in translation modus
  • Added contextual menus in textviews
  • Added option to copy sequence to new window
  • Added small indicators of cut sites in the enzyme sequence to help visualize the cleavage positions of enzymes like DpnII and FatI
  • Added Constructs preference pane with option to choose default enzyme set and cutter preset when opening a new DNA construct
  • Added support for reverse open reading frames
  • Added support for copying sequence and translation of selected open reading frames and digest fragments
  • Full-length open reading frame are found without the need for a stop codon
  • You can now open recent documents while the chooser is active.
  • Improved plugin architecture
  • Added 4Peaks to EnzymeX plugin (will be automatically installed when 4Peaks is installed)
  • Added more fail-safe behaviour when installing plugins
  • Created a Quick Translation plugin available for download
  • Enzymelist now shows cutposition in recognition sequence and resolves ambiguous bases for unique enzymes
  • Clicking on the enzyme inspector now brings EnzymeX to the front
  • Selecting an open reading frames will now move the selection to that start codon
  • Updated look of several tableviews
  • Doubledigest window now updates automatically upon opening
  • The setswitching corner now popups upon mousedown already.
  • If used solely as a viewer of non-native (non-exdna) files, documents are only marked as edited when the sequence is edited.
  • Enzyme filtering on sequence better supports ambiguous bases
  • Improved first responder status of sequence textview
  • Moved translation dictionary to edit menu
  • Fixed a bug where the first 10 nucleotides of a sequence smaller than 1 line could not be selected
  • Fixed a bug where closing a document while speaking could lead to a crash
  • Fixed reading of raw text files with returns
  • Fixed reading of Strider and GCK files on intel-based macs
  • Added support for reading rtf textfiles
  • Added support for reading APE (A Plasmid Editor) files
  • Added support for localization
