Create Automated Workflows in Geneious Prime

This automated workflows series shows how to build a custom workflow in Geneious Prime, from Sanger trimming and de novo assembly through Muscle alignment and tree building, choosing which options to expose to the user. A second video covers running workflows in parallel with For Each Document, prompting for documents mid-workflow, and branching to run multiple methods. Two videos.

Introduction to Automated Workflows

Build a custom workflow in Geneious Prime using operations such as Trim Ends, De Novo Assembly, Muscle Alignment, and Tree Builder, choosing which settings to expose to the user. Save intermediate results, then run the workflow from the Workflows menu.
LENGTH 4 minutes

Creating Advanced Workflows

Run a workflow separately per document using For Each Document, prompt for documents mid-workflow with Add Document Chosen When Running Workflow, or branch to run two operations, such as Clustal Omega and Muscle alignment, on the same input.
