As of 12-01-2016, the pLOT blog has moved to its own website.  This means no more externally hosted files with ads, etc...

pLOT 1.0.12c is now up.  This update fixes a few bugs that had previously been overlooked.  pLOT 1.0.12c requires the full installation of 1.0.12a.  If you have not installed 1.0.12a previously, uninstall your current version and run the 1.0.12c full installation setup.  If you have already installed 1.0.12a, simply copy and paste the patch file to your pLOT directory.

  pLOT 1.0.11h update is now available.  This update causes restriction enzyme cut sites to be highlighted when the mouse hovers over it.  If more than one site is present for a given enzyme, all of the sites highlight in response, allowing the user to easily locate them.  The forecolor (text color) and backcolor (highlight color) can be customized in the Preferences window under the Restriction Enzyme tab.
