I've got a windows 7 on my PC and can't install Gene Runner on it. I searched a lot but couldn't find a software which contains all the possibilities together. Does anyone have any suggestion?
I would recommend using APE (=A Plasmid Editor, http://biologylabs.utah.edu/jorgensen/wayned/ape/) because it's free and contains all functions you will need for cloning.
When it was still free for Academia I used Vector NTI (now >500$ a year), but except for the Database function I miss nothing in APE.
Invitrogen-vector NTI was really good. Its a pity that money crazy company has stopped giving free licence to non-profit researchers!!!
"Bioedit" is another good option with many properties like generunner and more.
Can be found at www.mbio.ncsu.edu/bioedit/bioedit.html.
The staden package GAP4 (it's free) is a good alternative. Another one is Geneious which costs only a very few for academic institutes
This is perhaps also a possible solution to run the Gene runner on Windows 7

"Oligo7" is amazing so better than generunner.

Thank you all for very useful suggestions. I think I have more options than that I expected, Amazing :)
CLC workbench or Oligoanalyzer might be used for sequence alignment studies and primer desinging.
Try VectorFriends at http://www.vectorfriends.com. It combines various types of cloning simulation, sequence analysis, and data management into one application.
It’s free for academic researchers.
Hi Elham. I had this problem with Win 7 and Gene Runner so I did all solution but didn't work. Finally I have reach to Win XP Mod. You can install this software on your pc then you can install everything on your PC such as Gene Runner.
You can also instal DNASIS MAX, it is very useful soft.
Good Luch
Someone (I really don't know who) has been maintaining and improving our good old Gene Runner and now it runs well even in Windows 10. You can download the last versión at: http://www.generunner.net
Hi Priyanka,
There is no Gene Runner version for Mac, but since you can run Windows programs on Mac using Wine, probably you should give it a try.
Regards,
Manuel
Hi
You can use the Oligo7 software for all of the mentioned purposes. It could be downloaded from "https://www.oligo.net/".
