SnapGene Version 5.1.3

SnapGene 5.1.3 was released on May 20, 2020.

Enhancements

• Enhanced Sequence view so that when two panels of sequence are visible in a split window, the minimap at the top shows the visible regions from both panels.
• Enhanced cloning dialogs to fit on smaller displays.
  (Requested by Fayang Zhou)
• Support polyA_site point features.
• Made various textual enhancements.

Fixes

• Enhanced the GFF3 importer to handle files that mark a single sequence with multiple references.
  (Reported by a customer)
• Fixed an issue that prevented opening of some Vector NTI® .apr alignment files.
  (Reported by K.L. Cheung)
• Corrected a regression that prevented files in a collection's "Working Set" from being listed in source menus in action dialogs.
  (Reported by Thom Hughes)
• Improved stability when importing protein features from another SnapGene file.
  (Reported by Anton Schmitz)
• Corrected an issue that could result in poor alignments.
  (Jinyeong Cheon)
• Corrected a regression that prevented restriction sites blocked by methylation from being shown in gray in Enzymes View using Numbers mode.
• Corrected a regression that prevented sorting of restriction sites in Enzymes view by location of the first site or by distance from the selection.
• Ensured proper import of SnapGene online sequence files that contain "&" in their names, such as the COVID-19 genome file.
• Corrected a regression that could prevent enzymes in aligned sequences from reflecting the chosen option for displaying enzymes.
• Ensured that Enzymes view does not scroll when toggling enzyme visibility.
• Corrected an issue that made it difficult to trim aligned sequences by dragging a trimming handle when using double-stranded DNA format.
• Improved the export to GenBank and other text formats of features that contain "&" and other symbols in qualifiers.
• Improved the appearance of a selection in an aligned sequence when manual trimming partially occludes the selection.
• Corrected a regression that prevented invoking the Destroy Restriction Site or Remove Restriction Fragment dialogs by pressing Delete or Backspace in Enzymes view.
• Ensured that toggling enzyme visibility no longer marks a file as unsaved.
• Fixed an issue that could prevent dashes within gaps from being shown when viewing an alignment to a reference DNA sequence.
• Prevented aligned bases from being shown in red at the endpoints of an alignment.
• Fixed an issue that could cause "Redo Alignment" to fail for some files.
• Ensured that the Edit Feature dialog correctly indicates that segment ranges can overlap if features with overlapping segments were imported from GenBank or other file formats.
• Improved the default ratio between the two panel heights when generating a split window.
• Prevented unnecessary vertical space from being allocated when laying out aligned sequences in double-stranded DNA format when enzymes are visible.
• Improved the file information shown for registered file types in the Windows Explorer and the macOS Finder.
• Improved the display of aligned regions in Map view.
