Recent releases


Changes: This is a patch release.


Changes: Major feature enhancements include Gateway Cloning, an improved Vector NTI database importer, sequence assembly by name, Sanger GFF import and export, and many small usability improvements and bugfixes.


Changes: This release fixes incorrect genomes being downloaded due to NCBI changing their format, and allows updating the location of the NCBI server.


Changes: This release fixes a couple of small bugs, including crash and performance bugs when assembling and viewing contigs.


Changes: New features added in the Pro version only include Unified Sequence Search, a new BLAST searching interface including batch searching and improved handling of results, a new 3D Structure Viewer, the ability to select parts of a structure and modify their appearance individually, and real-time Restriction Analysis and ORFs. Find restriction sites and ORFs are now part of the Sequence View, allowing real-time updating of sites as options are changed. A new color scheme where colors reside in an alignment according to similarity was implemented.
