Release Notes
Version 5.0 details
Version 5.0 adds new capabilities and display options including pairwise alignment, import from the Ensembl database, support for directional TOPO® cloning, and improved tools for alignment to a reference DNA sequence.
Pairwise Alignment Pairs of DNA or protein sequences can be analyzed by local, global, or semi-global alignment. |
 |
Import from Ensembl Gene or transcript data from the Ensembl genome browser can now be imported directly into SnapGene. |
 |
Directional TOPO® Cloning A new interface simulates directional TOPO® cloning into topoisomerase-activated vectors. |
 |
Flexible Alignment to a Reference The interface for aligning to a reference DNA sequence has been enhanced. Controls for various display options are more intuitive, and alignment can be restricted to a designated strand or region of the reference sequence. |
 |
 |
Draggable Nonaligned Ends For a sequence that has been partially aligned to a reference DNA sequence, the nonaligned end portions can now be dragged out and visualized. |
 |
Anza™ Enzymes The Anza™ enzyme system from Thermo Fisher (Invitrogen) has been incorporated into SnapGene’s enzyme database. |
 |
Customizable Background Color The background color for the SnapGene interface can be changed. |
 |
Visibility Controls for Feature Types Features can be shown or hidden based on feature type. |
 |
New Options for Amino Acids Amino acids in a translated feature can be set to lowercase, and a stretch of amino acids can be copied in 3-letter format. |
 |
 |
Codon Frequencies Calculator A codon frequencies table can be generated for one or more translated features. |
 |
DNA-to-Protein Alignment Conversion A selected region of a DNA alignment can be translated to generate the corresponding protein alignment. |
 |
Intron Annotation for an Aligned cDNA When a cDNA is aligned to a reference genomic DNA sequence, the cDNA can be used to create a feature in which gaps are annotated as introns. |
 |
Extended Selection Endpoints in Maps Selections are now marked with extended lines, which clarify the selection endpoints and also enhance visibility for small selections. |
 |
Importer for DNASIS Files Files from the legacy DNASIS program are now recognized by SnapGene. |
