In response to customer requests, DNASTAR has expanded MegAlignTM Pro, the multiple sequence alignment program, to include sequence editing capabilities such as trimming and reverse complement, as well as expanded phylogenetic analysis options. The software now offers an easy-to-use interface for creating Maximum Likelihood trees and bootstrapping calculations.

For users working with sequencing data, Lasergene 17.1 includes many new enhancements for Sanger, Next Generation, and long read sequencing technologies. This release expands on the new SeqMan® Ultra application, which was launched earlier this year, to include support for multiple sample analysis and visualization in a single project. DNASTAR has also added new workflows to support de novo genome assembly with PacBio and Oxford Nanopore Technologies sequencing data, with or without Illumina correction.

Other enhancements include a new viral-host integration workflow that automates the precise locating of prophage and retrovirus insertion sites in a host genome during alignment. The software also ...
