Geneious is a unique, easy to use software system that has been developed to greatly speed up and simplify research in molecular biology and biochemistry.
Geneious is available to all scientists to make data management, organisation and filtering easy, rapid and automatic.
Geneious is a tool that provides sophisticated genome and proteome research tools, protein or molecular visualization, publication literature search and storage tools and more, with revolutionary usability.
So you get more done. And faster results faster to publication or faster to discovery.
Geneious is a usability revolution in the organization and visualization of bio-data (genome, proteome & publications). It includes an advanced and integrated suite of tools for:
· Sequence alignment and phylogenetics
· Sequence analysis
· Automatic search and storage of publications, BLAST. Protein structure viewing, NCBI, EMBL
Requirements:
· Java 1.5 or later.
What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
New features added in Pro version only:
· Fast de novo assembly - Capable of assembling 100,000 454 reads or 500,000 Illumina Solexa reads without a reference sequence in a few minutes on a desktop machine.
· New dotplot - capable of dotplotting genome sized sequences with brand-new controls (utilizes EMBOSS)
· Better handling of next-gen sized data - greatly improved speed and memory efficiency when dealing with large next-gen data sets
· Primer extension support - add a restriction site or other extension to primers and Geneious takes this in to account when testing the primer and using it for other analysis
· Trim by primers - screen for primers from the local database
· Batch export - export several documents to separate files in one step (File > Export > Batch Export)
· Color sequences according to their annotations ("By Annotation" option under Colors in the Sequence View)
· More powerful primer design on alignments and support for designing primers on assemblies
· FastQ file format import
· CsFasta file format import
· Qual file format import
· Add and Remove enzymes from enzyme sets and combine enzyme sets
· Search for individual primers from your database that match a sequence
· Option to find residues in the translation of DNA (Edit > Find in Document)
· Quality measures for chromatograms added to sequence view statistics (Confidence and Expected Errors)
· Extinction coefficient for proteins added to sequence view statistics
· Read length and coverage statistics for sequencing data added to sequence view statistics
· Sort sequences by name and other attributes in sequence lists, alignments and assemblies (right click in Sequence View and under Properties options)
· The EMBOSS tools plugin is now included with Geneious as standard (adds many functions)
· All models in a 3D structure can now be shown simultaneously in the 3D structure view
· Folders can now be copied between server and local database by drag and drop
New features:
· Pan in Sequence View by holding Ctrl+Alt while dragging (Command+Alt on Mac OS)
· Greatly improved local database start up time for users with large numbers of documents (takes effect after first start up of 4.8)
· Geneious export no longer offers compressed/uncompressed format, Geneious format is always compressed with .geneious extension
· Sequence view statistics can now be copied to the clipboard
· Improved display of multi-interval annotations and primers in the sequence view
Bugs fixed:
· Change residue numbering now works on circular sequences
· Notes can now be stored in the Server database
