Searching and BLAST

Rapidly search all key databases at NCBI for literature, DNA and protein sequence information or set up automated agents to do the searching for you.

Geneious Prime connects you to external scientific databases

NCBI
PubMed
GenBank
UniProt
Broad Institute
InterPro Scan
PlasmoDB and PiroplasmaDB

Submit sequences directly to GenBank

Geneious Prime features a GenBank Submission plugin that simplifies the process of submitting sequences, genomes, features, primers traces and more.

BLAST sequences locally or against NCBI

BLAST search against sequences stored in various online databases at NCBI with results returned directly into Geneious Prime
Set up a local database with all your sequence data and BLAST it locally with our custom multi-threaded BLAST implementation
Batch BLAST an arbitrarily large data set against a local database and bin on the basis of ‘hit’ vs ‘no hit’ to keep only those sequences that you want

Intuitively search your own database

Search downloaded content by any metadata field or use the dynamic filter box to fine-tune your search results to rapidly find the documents you’re after
Search for sequences based on any of the available meta-data fields including Accession ID, organism name and taxonomy
Create boolean searches to enhance the specificity of your searches

Find the journals in PubMed specific to your research

Search PubMed by author, title or abstract content and have the references saved directly into a local folder
Automate hourly, daily, weekly or monthly searches for any data type. Have the results delivered to a local folder.
