GeneJockeyII

Abstract

GeneJockeyII has very powerful commands for restriction analysis, having access to data on over 400 restriction enzymes. The program has been updated several times since its release; the version described here is version 1.5. If you are using a version earlier than version 1.2 you will not have access to the matrix selector when choosing enzymes manually, and must choose enzymes from the linear list. In addition, the full text-based restriction map output format was introduced in version 1.2, and earlier versions offered only the text list of cut sites and fragment sizes and the graphic restriction map. Prior to version 1.5, the restriction enzyme data was contained in the program file itself; from version 1.5 this data is held in a separate file, and there is a separate utility program named RenzEdit that can be used to create and edit restriction enzyme files and to import restriction enzyme data from ReBase, Dr. Richard Robert’s restriction enzyme database.
