New In Geneious Pro 4.0:
- Specialized cloning function – Cloning just got a whole lot easier with our one-step operation for insertion into a plasmid. All you need to do is select your insert with its cut sites marked out and your plasmid of choice then this new function will take you to the resulting vector in one easy step.
- Publication quality plasmid mapping – Geneious now offers the best view around on plasmids and other circular sequences. Our viewer remains highly interactive and customizable, but now labels annotations intelligently so you can see names for restriction sites and other features when zoomed out.
- Tree coloring – After a "genome-load" of requests, we have made it possible for you to color branches and labels in your phylogenetic trees. This makes it much easier to visualize groups in a large tree – and of course you can still print your tree, or save to high quality formats for publication.
- And more! – Experience vastly improved visualization of annotations on linear sequences. See http://www.geneious.com/release_notes for the complete list of new features.

After a year in the making, our collaboration with world-leaders in acceleration hardware, TimeLogic, has come to fruition with the release of the Geneious Pro DeCypher plugin. DeCypher hardware technology runs your sequence searches in a fraction of the time, and now you can run batch searches on your DeCypher server from within Geneious using our simple graphical interface. Geneious even downloads the search results for you.

By the way, this release was originally planned as version 3.9 but became 4.0 because these new features are a leap in capability for Geneious. If you were expecting a new feature in 4.0 that is not in the release notes, it is still on schedule for our next release, later this year.
