SnapGene Version 5.1.1

SnapGene 5.1.1 was released on May 05, 2020.

New Functionality

• Added an adjustable match threshold when detecting common features in new DNA files and in inserted DNA sequences.
  (Suggested by Katherine Geromini)

Enhancements

• Provided the option of requiring up to 25 matching bases at the 3' end of a primer.
  (Requested by Yield10 Bio)
• Added a check for a 64-bit operating system before proceeding to install on Windows.
• Made various textual enhancements.

Fixes

• Improved stability when deleting amino acids in protein sequences.
  (Reported by Frank Fayang Zhou)
• Enabled correct opening of double-clicked files with URL-encoded characters on Ubuntu Linux.
  (Reported by Michael Jeltsch)
• Enabled correct opening of sequence traces in collections on Windows and Linux.
  (Reported by Frank Fayang Zhou)
• Fixed a regression with copying selected regions in multiple sequence alignments.
  (Reported by Leigh Harty)
• Ensured reliable automatic trimming of low-quality ends of sequence traces.
  (Reported by Jessica Saul)
• Fixed a regression that could cause inappropriate headers to be shown in Features view after detecting common features.
• Fixed a regression in which display options were not mirrored in sequences aligned with a reference DNA sequence.
• Ensured that the "Confirmed experimentally" check mark is colored green.
• Ensured proper display of the selection in a split Sequence view window after the selection is extended using the keyboard.
• Improved stability when closing documents as well as exiting.
• Prevented repeated appearance of a confirmation dialog when importing primers from a list into multiple files in a collection.
• Ensured appearance of a warning message if no primers can be imported into multiple files in a collection.
• Fixed an issue in which failing to import primers into files in a collection still marked those files as having unsaved changes.
• Prevented inserted bases from being mistakenly shown in red when using the Edit DNA Ends dialog.
• Fixed a regression that caused "Find" matches to be highlighted in green in Map view.
• Configured the Select Range dialog that is invoked from a multiple alignment to auto-select the first range value, thereby allowing that value to be replaced quickly.
• Corrected an issue in which the selection bar could report "aa" instead of "bases" for a selection in a DNA alignment.
• Ensured that switching a pairwise alignment to a format that uses less vertical space never generates a blank window.
• Corrected an issue in which the import of a primer that had been exported to GenBank format from Geneious might produce errors in the sequence and computed properties of the primer.
