Lasergene v8.1 |
![]() |
Comprehensive Software for DNA & Protein Sequence Analysis, Contig Assembly and Sequence Project Management - Now with expanded Next-Generation Sequence Assembly and Analysis Capability
New Features added in Lasergene v8.1 include:
multi-site Gateway cloning improved SNP report including exon distance fields and advanced filtering compatible with Windows 7, Vista, XP, and Mac OS 10.6, 10.5, 10.4 expanded capacity to work with larger project files a new Assemble in Groups feature easy export to GenVision the ability to BLAST multiple inquiries and much more
DNASTAR's Lasergene software consists of an integrated suite of seven applications that can be purchased in any combination. Major application areas of Lasergene are:
» Primer Design, Virtual Cloning, Visualization
» Sequence Assembly and Analysis, SNP Discovery
» Sequence Alignment
» Protein Structure Analysis and Prediction
» Gene Discovery
Lasergene v8.1 has added features that provide additional statistics on SNPs and multiple contigs that can be analyzed simultaneously. The image below illustrates the new ability to Assemble in Groups within SeqMan Pro. Simply select the sequence naming convention used to group similar areas from different samples in SNP reports and look for variances.
In addition to SNP discovery and analysis, Lasergene's features simplify primer design, gene discovery and protein structure analysis. Primer designing capabilities simplify mutagenesis and virtual cloning. The image below illustrates a primer design view and user defined modifications.

Users can assemble from a few sequences to bacterial-size genomes into contigs. SeqMan Pro further expands user capabilities by being able to import .sff, .fna, .fas and .qual files from Roche 454 Life Sciences to generate advanced flowgram histograms, and also with Sanger data. Users can also work with Illumina, ABI SOLiD, and Helicos data that is generated from their Next Generation Sequencing platforms after it has been assembled by the DNASTAR NGen software that is designed for the assembly of large scale projects.
Flexible licensing allows Lasergene to run as a standalone application or, for multiple user environments, to run with a network license server using either the DNASTAR license server or KeyServer from Sassafras. DNASTAR also supports organization-wide site licenses for many major organizations. Our standard license allows users to perform internal research using Lasergene software; however, we also offer special terms for use of Lasergene by internal core facilities or for commercial purposes.
