SnapGene Version 5.1.5

SnapGene 5.1.5 was released on July 19, 2020.

New Functionality

• Added a "Copy Rich Text" command for selections in alignments, to provide the option of copying either simple sequences or sequences with metadata.
  (Inspired by Leigh Harty and Nelson Ramirez)

Enhancements

• Added Invitrogen's "pScreen-iT LacZ-Dest" to the list of Gateway® Destination vectors.
  (Requested by Aysegul Gungor)
• Modified the statistics in pairwise alignments to show two digits after the decimal point instead of one.
  (Requested by Robin Luo)
• Added time estimates to various progress dialogs.
• Improved the order of "Copy" actions in the Edit menu.
• Made various textual, alignment, and spacing improvements.
• Enabled export of a map or history while viewing any tab.

Fixes

• Ensured reliable import of primers copied to the clipboard using Microsoft Office.

• Added support for dragging and dropping FASTA archives into the Assemble Contigs dialog.
  (Reported by Thomas Reinard)
• Preserved zoom and split view display options when switching between files in a collection.
  (Requested by Joon Park)
• Enhanced the Gene Construction Kit importer to capture the full set of notes in the "General Info" section.
  (Reported by Steve Stippec)
• Improved stability when computing and viewing multiple sequence alignments.
  (Reported by Leigh Harty)
• Corrected an issue that could cause features to be erroneously detected around the numerical origin of a linear sequence.
• Ensured that proper file extensions were included when batch converting files from one format to another.
• Ensured correct setting of the default button in the Find controls when pressing and releasing Shift in a sequence trace window.
• Corrected a regression with the navigation buttons when viewing an alignment to a reference sequence.
• Addressed issues with the purple bar and the Tm column when importing primers from another file.
• Corrected the displayed molecular weight when adding a translated feature to the common features database.
• Removed the colors button in cloning dialogs, and streamlined the side toolbar in the Edit DNA Ends, Browse Common Features, and Mutageneis dialogs.
• Improved the display of long sequence names within circular maps.
• Corrected a regression by removing cut locations for ancestral restriction sites in History view.
• Removed the inappropriate "Preserve feature annotations" control from the New File dialog, and the inappropriate "Detect common features" control when inserting or replacing bases in a sequence trace window.
• Improved stability when assembling contigs using FASTQ data.
• Disabled the Show/Hide All Enzymes commands when viewing protein files.
• Corrected an issue in which the endpoints of a selection were not updated in the selection bar after renumbering the origin of a linear sequence.
• Fixed an issue that prevented immediately using SnapGene without restarting after activating a Flexera-based shared license.
• Corrected an issue with computing % GC when partially degenerate residues
  (B, D, H, and V) were present.
• Ensured that only the zoomed region is shown for the root map in History view.
• Addressed an issue in which the Save As dialog would vanish immediately when attempting to choose a different name instead of saving over an existing file.
• Ensured that enzyme set menus are refreshed after using Manage Enzyme Sets.
• Ensured that the desired endpoint modifications are correctly applied when designing a synthetic construct.
• Improved the registration of file associations on macOS.
