Organize your vectors
Use the project dashboard to open and manage multiple sequence projects within a single file.
You may wonder how a sophisticated and well-crafted software like VectorBee could be free given that it takes a large team of dedicated scientists and IT engineers to create and continuously upgrade.
It all began with our fearless leader, Professor Bruce Lahn. As the Chief Scientist of VectorBee (and also VectorBuilder), Bruce, like many of you, was a grad student who loved two things: free food at seminars and free software. But as his career progressed beyond the humble grad student to positions of greater responsibilities, he realized that nothing is truly free, and someone's free food is always paid by someone else.
But Bruce also strongly believes that useful research software like VectorBee should be open to the entire research community, whether academia or industry. He thus pledges to finance VectorBee with VectorBuilder's R&D budget to keep it free for all.
In return, Bruce asks that you consider VectorBuilder's wonderful products and services, and also spread the good word about VectorBuilder and VectorBee. This would help us keep VectorBee free and continuously improved. The most heartfelt thanks from us all at VectorBuilder and VectorBee!
