Not sure if it's been mentioned, but I personally use EnzymeX(http://mekentosj.com/enzymex/
) .
Also, I find their PDF library organizer Papers (http://mekentosj.com/papers/
) to be exceptional.

Hello,
After several years of offering the molecular biology software
VectorNTI
free to the academic community (their "open access program") and
building
up a huge user base, Invitrogen have suddenly announced that they
will no
longer renew these free licences and the existing ones will be left to
expire within the year. There are heavy renewal fees for anyone
wishing to
continue use of this software.
Can anyone recommend decent alternative PC compatible alternatives?
Main
uses are construct and primer design, plus simple quick alignments,
sequence data analysis etc. The database structure for storing
sequences
was pretty useful also.
Ideally free, otherwise reasonably priced. I've seen CLCbio and
Geneious
have products, both free and paid. Any experience?
Thanks,

ps anyone using VNTI might consider a backup of their work by
exporting
files to .gb format. I don't know if a locked up (expired) version
permits
this and you will have no notice that it is about to expire.
