Abstract: Vector NTI is a well-balanced desktop application integrated for molecular sequence analysis
and biological data management. It has a centralised database and five application modules:
Vector NTI, AlignX, BioAnnotator, ContigExpress and GenomBench. In this review, the
features and functions available in this software are examined. These include database
management, primer design, virtual cloning, alignments, sequence assembly, 3D molecular
viewer and internet tools. Some problems encountered when using this software are also
discussed. It is hoped that this review will introduce this software to more molecular biologists
so they can make better-informed decisions when choosing computational tools to facilitate
their everyday laboratory work. This tool can save time and enhance analysis but it requires
some learning on the user’s part and there are some issues that need to be addressed by the
developer.
