Geneious project is a unique, easy to use software system that greatly speeds up and simplifies research in molecular biology and biochemistry.

Currently the great majority of researchers' time is taken up with comparatively repetitive drudgery: sifting through publicly available sequence and publication databases, downloading gene sequences and then massaging the data through a series of file formats and difficult-to-use specialist programs.

This whole process is usually repeated numerous times during a research project as requirements change or new data comes to hand.

As a result, after publication researchers find their work out-dates rapidly as new data become available.

Geneious has been developed with a view to changing all that by making data management, organization and filtering easy, rapid and automatic.

Here are some key features of "Geneious":
A local database to store sequences and publications
Storage of abstracts and bibliographic information
Direct links to Google scholar
Storage of sequence data
User-defined notes
Rapid sequence similarity searching within your local database
Direct access to NCBI, EBI databases
A unique ability to refine and filter information on the fly as it downloads
Ability to automate searches so that the data relevant to your research is constantly kept up-to-date
A graphical viewer of sequence annotations such as genes, motifs and primer positions
A multiple alignment viewer
Very simple user-friendly interface
Easy and fast to download, at no cost

What's New in This Release:
Various stability bugs were fixed, the FASTA exporter now keeps the order of the sequences, and the primer action in the menu now also works for more than two sequences.
