Geneious: the easiest way to do visual sequence analysis
Geneious Pro combines a large number of visualization tools for many different types of data and analyses:
- Alignment viewing with annotations alongside sequences
- Interactive tree viewing
- Plasmid maps
- Gene structure, SNPs and other features from GenBank etc.
- Chromatogram sequences
- Contig viewing with chromatograms alongside sequences
- Graphs for protein and alignment statistics
- 3D protein structure viewing
- Consensus sequence updated as you edit
- Translation and complement alongside sequences updated as you edit
- Pfam domain viewing
- Tabular views of enzyme cut sites and digested fragments
- Graphing of statistical output from MrBayes
- Multiple Genome alignment viewing with rearrangements (Mauve)
You don't have to worry about choosing the right program when you want to visualize a certain type of data, Geneious chooses the viewers which suit the selected data automatically. Then you only need to customize the view to suit the task at hand.
Example of how researchers can use these features include
- discovering missing annotations by viewing alignments and annotations simultaneously
- speeding up the process of extracting and aligning genes from whole bacterial genomes
- maintaining a searchable library of gene alignments and phylogenetic trees
- maintaining a searchable library of related research and full-text PDF documents
