Geneious Prime 2020
Geneious Prime 2020 brings exciting new functionality to transform raw sequence data into meaningful visualizations. Highlights include long-read sequence mapping, codon optimization, a wrapper plugin system, CRISPR editing analysis and updates to annotate from database.

Add your favorite tools to Geneious with improved Wrapper Plugin system
Can’t wait for us to add your favorite command line aligner, tree builder or assembler? You might be able to add it yourself from right inside Geneious using the Wrapper Plugin Creator plugin. Coding skills are not required, though a good understanding of command line interfaces and file formats is.
Geneious Prime 2019
Geneious Prime 2019 brings powerful analyses to increase accuracy and help transform collaboration. Highlights include updates to primer design, custom codon usage, import and export, annealed oligo cloning, restriction enzymes and shared database.

Simplified Testing and Annotation of Existing Primers
Easily search all folders for primers that match a sequence of interest with the redesigned “Test with Saved Primers” operation. Copy and paste primers from other programs into the new “Add Primers” operation to find them on your target sequence in one step.
Customizable Text View
GenBank format available for all individual sequences. Sequence layout format to alter wrapping, numbering, sequence color and presence of reverse complement and translation. Alignment layout to alter numbering, sequence color and highlighting of agreements/disagreements to consensus.
Primer Design Improvements
Option to control the minimum distance between primers designed on the same strand – defaults to minimizing creation of duplicate primers when multiple primer pairs are designed together. Quick and easy primer pairing in the Sequence View to link two primers of your choice and calculate pair dimer Tm and product size.
Easier Shared Database Rollout
Immediately access shared data and get straight to doing your research with a Geneious Shared database connections now able to be pre-configured by your IT team or admin when rolling out a version of Geneious Prime. Includes improved support for Windows authentication.
