DNASTAR today released its latest version of Sequence Analysis software, Lasergene v8.1. New features include an automated virtual Multisite Gateway cloning capability, and Assemble in Groups for simultaneous analysis of SNPs from multiple sources. The new desktop software also provides additional SNP reporting capabilities that include neighborhood quality scoring. Expanded Next-Gen data analysis capabilities permit users to easily analyze and manage larger projects generated from Roche 454®, Illumina®, ABI SOLiD and Helicos platforms.

Marketing Director Bob Steinhauser indicated “Lasergene v8.1 continues DNASTAR’s commitment to constantly upgrading our software to provide users with the latest tools available for a wide range of sequence analysis applications. The additions of a virtual Multisite Gateway cloning capability along with the multi-sample SNP comparisons will provide our users with some very powerful tools. The ease of interfacing with our GenVision software for novel graphics and analyses is a further strong feature for our research customers.”
