Editing Plasmid (section)

=== Software for bioinformatics and design ===
{{main|List of genetic engineering software}}

The use of plasmids as a technique in [[molecular biology]] is supported by [[bioinformatics]] [[software]]. These programs record the [[DNA]] sequence of plasmid vectors, help to predict cut sites of [[restriction enzymes]], and to plan manipulations. Examples of software packages that handle plasmid maps are ApE, [[Clone manager|Clone Manager]], GeneConstructionKit, Geneious, [[Genome Compiler]], LabGenius, Lasergene, [[MacVector]], pDraw32, Serial Cloner, [[UGENE]], VectorFriends, [[Vector NTI]], and WebDSV. These pieces of software help conduct entire experiments in silico before doing wet experiments.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://vimeo.com/57923864 |title=Vector NTI feedback video |work= The DNA Lab }}</ref>
