3.2.11 Restriction Analysis

Details about this feature can be found in the main Genome Compiler user guide:

See section 1.17 for Managing Restriction Sites.

See section 1.18 for Virtual Digest.

  • In Vector NTI you can launch the “Restriction Map Setup” (Figure 3.2.11.1) dialog through the main tool bar (Figure 3.2.11.2) upon opening a molecule or through the main menu by choosing “Analysis”-”Restriction Analyses”-”Restriction Sites” (Figure 3.2.11.3). If you wish to calculate restriction fragments that are the result of cutting the molecule with any subset of enzymes constituting the restriction map select “Analyses”-”Restriction Analyses”-”Restriction Fragments” (Figure 3.2.11.3).

  • In Genome Compiler you can manage restriction enzymes through “Restriction Sites” dialog (Figure 3.2.11.4). You can filter them for different criteria and save presets for further use. To open the “Restriction Sites” dialog, right click on the restriction enzyme in any of the views (Linear/Circular/Sequence) and select the “Restriction settings” from the drop down menu (Figure 3.2.11.5). For more information on managing restriction sites please refer to section 1.17.

  • In Genome Compiler in order to perform a hypothetical digest on a sequence selection or on the whole project you should open the “Run Digest” dialog (Figure 3.2.11.6). This dialog can be opened by clicking on “Digest” in the main tool bar (Figure 3.2.11.7) or through opening the “Tools” drop down menu and choosing “Digest” (Figure 3.2.11.8). Alternatively you can right click on project canvas or the project tab and select “Run Digest” (Figure 3.2.11.9). For more information on handling the “Run Digest” dialog please refer to section 1.18.
