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/

Hi Darren,
much much easier than VectorNTI is ApE (http://www.biology.utah.edu/jorgensen/wayned/ape/

allows copy-paste of a word or text file, and does alignment, translation,

I also use Lasergene which has the long standing DNA Star, Megalign, but you

It runs natively under Windows but I am using it with the emulator wine
on Linux.
