- INFORMATION ABOUT THE CAD Gene™ 2.0 DEMO
-
- CAD Gene™ is a novel program of interest to molecular
- biologists and to all scientists who use the techniques of
- DNA cloning in their work. It applies the powerful
- tools of computer-aided-design and the interactive-graphical
- Macintosh interface to the problems of cloning project design.
-
- CAD Gene™ runs on the Apple® Macintosh™. It requires System 4.1
- or later and Finder 5.3 or later. It is 32-bit clean, and is
- compatible with System 7 and the Power Macintosh. To use the
- tutorial file distributed with this demo, a word processing
- program capable of reading Microsoft Word™ 5.x files is
- needed.
-
- Contained in this distribution are the following files:
-
- 1. CAD Gene™ 2.0 Demo. This is the main body of
- executable code for the program. Printing and saving
- of files has been disabled.
- 2. CAD Gene Tutorial. This manual provides a tutorial
- introduction to the use of the program.
- 3. Sequence Formats file. Contains the information to
- support foreign (DNA) sequence files, restriction enzyme
- lists.
- 4. Data Tablets file. Contains the subroutines to
- support sequence entry with graphics tablets. This file
- is not necessary if a data tablet (graphics tablet) will
- not be used for sequence entry.
- 5. CAD Gene™ Help file. Contains information for
- on-line program help.
- 6. CAD Gene™ Preferences. Contains default settings
- for restriction digest group, genetic codes, etc. A
- preferences file must be present for the program to run.
- 7. Sample files folder. Contains the sequence files
- described in the CAD Gene™ tutorial.
-
- As in any unique program, the function of CAD Gene™ may
- not be initially obvious to the user. For this reason,
- we strongly encourage new users to go through the
- exercises extensively detailed in the tutorial.
-
- The tutorial does not attempt to demonstrate all of CAD
- Gene™'s features, but it should give the user a feel of
- how the program functions. The user is encouraged to
- try out other features that are not included as part of
- the tutorial.
-
- We are confident that users of the CAD Gene™ will find
- its interface intuitive, powerful and user-friendly.
-
- The demo program will not save files nor print results.
- All other program functions are enabled.
