Geneious 4.7.1
Geneious… Research software for biologists, not computer scientists.
Geneious combines all the major DNA and protein sequence analysis tools into one revolutionary software solution! Its ease of use makes bioinformatics accessible to any biologist. It even runs on all major operating systems and is very affordable.
Features include: Sequence alignment, Contig assembly, primers, restriction analysis, BLAST, phylogenetics, automatic publication updates and more.
WHAT’S NEW
Version 4.7.1:
- Query centric multiple alignment BLAST view – Every BLAST search now has a view tab with the query centric alignment
Fast reference assembly – Can now assemble 100,000 reads to a reference in less than a minute - ContigExpress (.cep) import
- Primer database – Select primer sequences from anywhere in your databases for testing
- 454 import and handling – Import SFF files then view and assemble the sequences to a reference
- Custom keyboard shortcuts – Choose a shortcut key for just about any action in Geneious (Preferences > Keyboard)
- Show translation by coding annotations or just for the selected region
- Translate alignments/contigs relative to the start of alignment or the consensus sequence
- Set a reference sequence in an alignment/contig and highlight disagreemets etc versus the reference sequence (right-click > Set as reference sequence)
- Change the font and style for selected taxa in the tree view
Color nucleotide triplets by their translation - New tabular view of annotations on sequences
- New view showing graph of sequence lengths
- Extract PCR Product operation added
- Automatic scaling of chromatogram height
- Sequence view remembers zoom level for next disagreement and Editing state for assemblies
- Original chromatogram files can now be exported even after editing a chromatogram
- Can now trim the consensus to the reference sequence (if present)
- Find ORFs and structure prediction now works on alignments
- Improved coverage graph – stays after editing and can highlight low coverage regions
- Improved contig view – can vertically compact the contig view so that multiple reads can appear in the same row
- Consensus alignment has option to create an alignment of the consensus sequences only (useful for comparing assembly results)
- Option in BLAST to fully annotate the hit summaries – eg feature annotations, taxonomy and other properties
- Option to design a reverse primer only added
New features:
- MacClade color scheme added
- Can select multiple regions simultaneously in the sequence viewer (by ctrl-drag selecting successive regions)
- Improved sequence/alignment/contig viewer performance. Can view contigs with 100,000+ reads
- Improved performance handling large numbers of sequences – Imported sequences are grouped into a single list document and existing sequences can be grouped manually
- Check for Updates Now added to the Help menu and General Preferences
Bugs fixed:
- Fixed long delay before results appear when a large operation is completed
- Other columns such as description and organism can now be consistently used as labels in tree and sequence view
- Distance matrix now shows up more consistently in Text View on tree building results
REQUIREMENTS
- Mac OS X 10.4 or later
- Java 1.5 or later.
