Geneious 5.6

Geneious project is a unique, easy to use software system that greatly speeds up and simplifies research in molecular biology and biochemistry.

Currently the great majority of researchers' time is taken up with comparatively repetitive drudgery: sifting through publicly available sequence and publication databases, downloading gene sequences and then massaging the data through a series of file formats and difficult-to-use specialist programs.

This whole process is usually repeated numerous times during a research project as requirements change or new data comes to hand.

As a result, after publication researchers find their work out-dates rapidly as new data become available.

Geneious has been developed with a view to changing all that by making data management, organization and filtering easy, rapid and automatic.

What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]

· New Parent-Descendant Tracking - Geneious 5.6 tracks cloning operations so that changes you make later can be propagated automatically from parent sequences to descendants.
· Improved Genomic Performance - Improved performance with large scale data handling. Geneious can handle large genomes including the Human Genome.
· Accurate Variant calling - Geneious 5.6 now takes strand bias into account to reduce false SNP calls due to sequencing errors.
· Enhanced usability - The annotation table now allows for intuitive bulk editing. And a new alignment interface makes it easier to choose the correct algorithm.
