Tutorials
Geneious built in tutorial
Geneious includes an extensive range of built-in tutorials that will guide you through the available features and functions.
Geneious Education
Geneious Educations enables you to create your own teaching material for your students to learn bioinformatics by walking through interactive tutorials within Geneious Pro. Your students do real bioinformatics analysis, interpret the results and answer questions. Geneious Education is built in to Geneious Pro, all you need to do is download Geneious Pro and tutorials.
Basic Bioinformatics Tutorial
Level: Basic
Within 2 hours you will know all the core elements of bioinformatics in Geneious, and have experienced "doing it" for yourself. Covers basic techniques in downloading, analysing and manipulating DNA/protein sequence data. Written by Dr Michael Bunce, Murdoch University, Australia.
Sequence Searching
Level: Basic
Learn how to use the Geneious Pro Sequence Search function to find sequences by similarity using BLAST and other programs. This tutorial doesn't contain any questions. Written by Dr Shane Sturrock, Biomatters Ltd, New Zealand.
3D Structure Tutorial
Level: Basic
Explore the controls in the Geneious 3D structure viewer and learn how to use it to visualize active sites in a protein structure. This tutorial doesn't contain any questions. Written by Dr Shane Sturrock, Biomatters Ltd, New Zealand.
Manipulating Trees
Level: Basic
Learn about the parts of a phylogenetic tree and how to view and manipulate trees with Geneious. Written by Dr Howard Ross, University of Auckland, New Zealand.
Plant Molecular Genetics Tutorial
Level: Intermediate
Annotate plant DNA sequences using BLAST and multiple alignment, then learn how to read a phylogenetic tree to explore genetic distance. Written by Dr Jack da Silva, University of Adelaide, Australia.
Chromatograph Tutorial
Level: Intermediate
Perform forensic DNA analysis on a sample to determine if it is bear bile. You will assemble and edit chromatographs and use BLAST and phylogenetics to identify the sample. Written by Dr Michael Bunce, Murdoch University, Australia.
HIV Molecular Evolution
Level: Advanced
Use Geneious to investigate the evolutionary origins of human immunodeficiency viruses (HIVs) using molecular phylogenetic tools. Written by Dr Jack da Silva, University of Adelaide, Australia.
Pairwise Alignments Tutorial
Level: Advanced
Develop the skills needed to align pairs of DNA and protein sequences with Geneious using dotplots and alignment algorithms. Written by Dr Shane Sturrock, Biomatters Ltd, New Zealand.
Learn how to create your own tutorials
This tutorial walks you through creating your own teaching material for Geneious Pro, including all the examples you need. Written by Dr Shane Sturrock, Biomatters Ltd, New Zealand.
