Additional features now available in SnapGene 7.0 include:

  • File Search: Users will now have more innovative file search functionality allowing them to easily locate specific files within a project using attributes such as name, type, sequence content, and feature annotations. The flexible, modern interface of the file search tool ensures a seamless experience and empowers users to swiftly find the data they need.

  • Primer Annotations: New primer insertion annotations have been added, enriching the Add/Edit Primer dialog with the ability to visualize insertions such as enzymes, codon, or short peptide sequences added to primers. Additionally, regions of interest, including Golden Gate restriction sites, Gateway cloning attB sites, and directional TOPO motifs, are now automatically annotated for primers designed by the software.

  • Preview Detected Features for New Sequences: A new file pane boasts an enhanced sequence map, providing researchers with a preview of detected features within their sequence. Users can conveniently select which annotations to include, ensuring clarity and precision in their analysis and presentation of data.

  • Get Started Pane: To expedite the research process, users will now find a "Get Started" pane, offering quick access to recent files and folders. Additional helpful resources have been added including links to short video tutorials, user guide articles, and the recently launched SnapGene Academy, empowering users to maximize their productivity and leverage the software's full potential.
