Small bug fix

A small bug was found in the code for selecting multi-enzyme mixes that resulted in new mixes not adding correctly (previously saved ones were fine).  This bug is fixed and the pLOT.exe can be downloaded here if you've previously installed v1.0.4.  The 1.0.4 complete installation file in the previous post has been updated.  I apologize for any inconvenience.

pLOT v1.0.1 Update Release

  pLOT update to v1.0.1 is now available.  This update allows gaps to be part of sequences in your Annotations Library and search strings (amino acid and DNA versions).  This results in a more flexible search and auto-annotations than you would get using "N" or "X" as ambiguous DNA bases or amino acids respectively and allow matching of sequences with variable lengths.  Gaps are represented by a "-" for both DNA and amino acid sequences.  An importable Annotations Library add-on file is also available with a few sequences to demonstrate this.

pLOT v1.0 Released!



   Today marks the release of pLOT v1.0.  pLOT is a plasmid mapping program for Windows-based PCs that I had initially been developing for my own personal use over the past year (and some change) and later decided to release for free for public use.
