VectorNTI 7.1 does not run on OS X Tiger currently. But according to the website, 'Invitrogen are evaluating a patch to Vector NTI suite® 7.1 to run on TIGER. Check back here for updates on our evaluation (Sept 2005).' Vector NTI Data Export Tool This Data export tool will allow you to export your molecule data from proprietary Vector NTI file formats into standard, open source formats.

Vector NTI is a commercialbioinformatics software package used by many life scientists to work, among other things, with nucleic acids and proteinsin silico.[1][2] It allows researchers to, for example, plan a DNA cloning experiment on the computer before actually performing it in the lab.
It was originally created by InforMax Inc, North Bethesda, MD. Initially released for free, it was locked and turned into a commercial software after 2008 which created problems for locked in users who were forced to buy the software to continue accessing their data on newer computers.[3]
What was previously a single software package has been split into Vector NTI Express, Advanced, and Express Designer.[4]
Vector NTI has been discontinued by its corporate parent Thermo Fisher. Support will cease as of December 31, 2020. [5]
