What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
The new release includes the long awaited DNA assembly functionality. Since now short read alignment can be performed with UGENE. Two methods are available:
· Genome aligner plugin, based on unique algorithm;
· Port of popular open-source tool Bowtie.
· A lot of improvements were made to console version of UGENE. It has become much more flexible and powerful. Since now it is possible to use command line version of UGENE in complex scripts and shell scenarios. There are useful prebuilt scenarios available: align, convert, find repeats etc. Check documenation for more details.
Other cool features available:
· New advanced sequence analysis algorithm based on weight matrices;
· Circular view improvements: zoooming, rotating and more;
· Support for advanced search options of NCBI BLAST in redesigned Remote Request plugin.
· Alignment logo feature;
· New fancy widget: global sequence overview;
· Tree viewer is re-worked: stand-alone interface, new visualization modes.
· GFF format now supports writing;
· Scripting framework is introduced;
· and a lot more...
