New and enhanced features for all of your DNA sequence analysis.

Sanger:

  • Send primer pair sequences from Primer-BLAST runs in Sequencher Connections to your Sequencher project.
  • Easily use consensus sequences from the Project Window as a reference sequence for NGS alignments for hybrid sequencing projects.
  • New Batch Revert Trim Ends command.
  • Ability to adjust the font size in the Project Window. 

NGS:

  • Faster GSNAP and BWA-MEM workflows.
  • Build GSNAP Databases and BWA Indexes that can be re-used for aligning to whole genomes.
  • View and save quality scores and metadata of your NGS raw data files with FastQC reports.
  • Generate Variant Calling Files (VCF) to flag variants in your NGS alignments using SAMtools.

RNA-Seq:

  • Expanded Cufflinks suite with the addition of Cuffquant and Cuffnorm.
  • A unique Conditions and Replicates Editor for Cuffdiff and Cuffnorm.
  • Enhanced RNA-Seq visualizations with custom sorting and filtering options.   
  • Easily manage all of your DNA-Seq and RNA-Seq projects with an enhanced External Data Browser.

Gene Codes announces the release of CodeLinker 1.0, software for the analysis of RNA-Seq and microarray data.

With CodeLinker, you can choose to analyze your data with a number of different clustering algorithms. You can then visualize the cluster data with a variety of plots. CodeLinker also features Self-Organizing Maps (SOM's) and Principle Component Analysis (PCA)

CodeLinker also brings you prediction tools that allow you to search your data for associations and then apply those associations to new samples. You can use Sub-Linear Association Mining (SLAM) to search your data for associations and then use the associations to train an Artificial Neural Network (ANN). You can also explore your data with an Integrated Bayesian Inference System (IBIS) classifier to find patterns of gene expression, and then use those patterns to perform Discriminant Analysis.

New features for Sanger and Next-Generation DNA Sequence Analysis include:

Sanger: 

  • New Batch Revert Trim Ends command.
  • Ability to adjust the font size in the Project Window.  
  • For hybrid sequencing projects, you can create NGS reference databases/indexes directly from the consensus sequences in the Project Window in addition to linking to an external sequence.

NGS:

  • GSNAP and BWA-MEM workflows now produce BAM files. 
  • Enhancements to the External Data Browser (EDB).  
  • FastQC Reports now open automatically.

Gene Codes is proud to announce the release of our most flexible version of Sequencher ever!  Sequencher 5.2.4 combines support for all licensing options whether it's standalone or network, dongle or keyless. 

Network customers using KeyServer now have access to all the latest features:

  • Sequencher Connections - A whole new way to accelerate your analysis!  Perform multiple customized BLAST searches or MUSCLE alignment on single or groups of sequences.  View your results in webpage, text, or XML format all without leaving Sequencher!
  • Use MUSCLE to create phylogenetic trees that can be viewed in multiple formats.
  • BWA reference-guided alignment algorithm for NGS data sets.
  • Added GSNAP flexibility - You now have the ability to capture reads that didn't align, or even to select only reads that didn't align.
