Opening old plasmid map files

Sat, 01 Jan 2022 00:00:00 +0000

For a new cloning project, we needed to access the plasmid maps of an old construct of mine (pSecTagN2, which was a precursor of pMosaic , aka pSecTagI) which I had composed from many different sources in 1999. In 1999, I was working in Kari Alitalo’s laboratory as a Ph.D. student. We were at the “cutting edge” of technology because we used a software program called Gene Construction Kit (GCK) to keep track of our clonings. Last Wednesday, I spent 4 hours of my working time opening one file created with GCK version 2.5 in 1999.
