API and Customization

Customize, automate and integrate Geneious Prime to increase efficiency in your organization

Plugin Development Kit

The Geneious Public API allows you to create a wide variety of plugins to extend functionality, integrate with existing systems and add your own custom algorithms. The Dev Kit allows capable Java developers to have complete control over their plugin creation.

To get started read the plugin development Getting Started Guide, the Java API Documentation, browse previous Open Source Projects and current Geneious Plugins, then download the Dev Kit.

Revolutionize Your Antibody Discovery with Luma

The All-in-One Platform for Seamless Data Integration and Workflow Automation

Bridge the Wet and Dry Lab Gap

Streamline your antibody and protein engineering workflows with a fully integrated system that connects wet and dry labs, optimizing every stage—from initial concept and in silico design to experiments, data analysis, and reporting—for maximum productivity and minimal errors.

Wrapper Plugin Creator for Command Line Programs

Use the graphical wrapper plugin creator to run an existing command line program from inside Geneious Prime without writing any code. The Geneious RAxML, Garli and FastTree plugins were created this way.

Install the below plugin in Geneious Prime and use Create/Edit Wrapper Plugin in the File menu to get started.

Add Custom Code to Workflows

Workflows allow you to automate your analysis and to customize Geneious Prime. In addition to all of the built-in workflow components, you can write snippets of Java code to perform custom steps.

Custom code allows you to create Geneious operations that do almost anything. The Workflow custom code automatically inserts the surrounding import statements for the complete Geneious API and a class framework around the methods you implement.

"We’ve been using our Geneious licenses a lot and really like the software. We’ve written several plug-ins ourselves and are using it more and more to analyze our data."
