Geneious R8: A Bioinformatics Platform for Biologists

Biomatters’ Geneious R8 is a bioinformatics software platform that allows researchers the command of industry-leading algorithms and tools for their genomic and protein sequence analyses. Using a glass-box approach for software design, Geneious R8 offers a comprehensive suite of peer-reviewed tools that enable biologists to be more efficient with their bioinformatic workflows. Researchers at all levels can easily manage, analyze, and share their sequence data via a single intuitive Java software application. R8 provides tools for next-generation sequence analysis, sequence alignment, molecular cloning, chromatogram assembly, and phylogenetics. New features for the R8 major version release include a 16S rRNA 'Biodiversity Tool', CRISPR gene editing, circular de novo assembler, improved 'Workflow Builder' as well as a number of new plug-ins. R8 affords real-time dynamic interaction with sequence data and empowers biologists to produce stunning publication quality images to increase the impact of their research. By utilizing Geneious R8, biologists can easily improve their sequence analysis workflow efficiencies to free up more time for their research. This poster aims to demonstrate the new features and benefits of the highly integrated Geneious R8 tool-suite.
