v1.3
- You can now import all DNA sequences from a Vector NTI database using a new "File -> Import Vector NTI Database…" command.
- You can now import primers from a Vector NTI database or .oa4 oligo archive using a new "Primers -> Import Primers from Vector NTI…" command.
- You can now customize the sequence map label using a new "View -> Edit Map Label..." command.
- SnapGene now supports the "Pterobranchia Mitochondrial" genetic code.
- Added % GC to the selection bar for selections Added support for Bioline ladders.
- Added support for Eurogentec's "SmartLadder" and "SmartLadder SF" ladders. (Suggested by Virgile Adam)Enhancements:
- When BLASTing multiple selected primers, SnapGene now performs the search within a single browser tab instead of spawning multiple tabs. (Suggested by Edward Wallace)
- Added support for the GenBank mobile_element feature type and mobile_element_type qualifier. Also enhanced the way this and similar (e.g. /db_xref) qualifier values are displayed in Features view.
- SnapGene now supports opening multiple documents at once on Windows when they are dropped on the SnapGene icon.
- SnapGene now decodes sequence names from .cm5 Clone Manager sequence files and .ma4 Vector NTI molecular archives.
- Alphabetized the insert codon pull down menu in the Add/Edit/Duplicate Primer dialogs. Removed the Asx and Glx entries and fixed the DNA associated with Xaa.
- By default the launch dialog will no longer reappear on Mac OS X.
- Updated the common features database to over 336 unique standard common features.
- Moved "Aligned with Sequence Traces..." from the View menu to the Actions menu.
- Added "Cell Biolabs" to the list of companies in the Description Panel.
- Various textual enhancementsBug Fixes:
- Fixed a bug that resulted in a crash when opening some GenBank files (Reported by Tatiana Garachtchenko)
- Fixed a bug where SnapGene on Windows was unable to open files whose filename or directory contain multi-byte non-latin characters. (Reported by Heng Fan)
- Fixed a bug with exporting maps to various formats (JPEG, TIFF) on Windows. (Reported by Millie)
- Fixed a bug where only the first match was ever reported when searching for features or primers in Map and Sequence Views.
- Fixed a bug with cycling between enzyme and primer matches in Map and Sequence Views.
- Fixed a bug with circularizing sequences that were previously linearized at the numerical origin.
- Fixed a bug where the sample file asked if it should be updated when closing.
- Fixed a bug where if opening a file failed the application could appear to hang on Windows.
- Fixed a bug where non-native circular sequences were loaded as linear in manipulation dialogs.
- Fixed a bug displaying the name for the common feature "T7 Φ3.8 promoter" or any name containing a period in it's name while using the common features dialog.
- Fixed a various bugs that could result in a crash when identifying primer binding sites.
- SnapGene now requires a non-empty selection before adding a feature.
- Fixed a bug where duplicate copies of features could be detected when importing features from another file if the other file contains copies of a given feature in both orientations.
