Capabilities
Create project folders for structuring your data in a way that best suits your research.
All data is indexed so you can rapidly search through your data using simple keyword searches or complex compound queries. Data can also be sorted and filtered rapidly to help you find what you are looking for.
Easily create custom BLAST databases from sequence you have stored in Geneious or a FASTA file then search your database all without leaving the program.
Import and export a huge number of file formats. It's easy to bring all of your existing data in to Geneious – just drag and drop from the desktop. Complete list of supported formats.
Attach highly structured information to any type of data stored in Geneious using Notes. Attach dates, numbers, text and more using custom templates that can limit the values that can be input. Notes can be edited for multiple documents simultaneously and they can be searched and sorted on.
Server Database
Geneious can store all of your data on a central SQL server. This means:
- Data is not stored on individual computers
- Several people can work with the same data simultaneously
- All data can be backed up easily
This feature is included with Geneious Pro and can be set up using free SQL technology such as MySQL and PostgreSQL.
Collaboration
Create a free account and connect to the Collaboration service to share data with another Geneious user anywhere in the world. Choose which of your folders you want to share and your contacts will be able to browse your data while you browse theirs.
Free software is available to set up a secure internal server for collaboration.
