We have finally reached the last month of the longest year ever! As we head into the holiday season, DNASTAR sends our best wishes and hope everyone is staying healthy and safe. This month we’re covering our new Lasergene 17.2 release, the integration of Mastermind into Lasergene Genomics and our upcoming webinar on SeqMan Ultra’s new features and updates.
Lasergene 17.2 is here!
Last month we released Lasergene 17.2, which incorporated your valuable feedback to improve the workflows for Sanger sequence assemblies, NGS assemblies and variant analysis, and multiple sequence alignments.
You can read the release notes to find out more.
Mastermind integration
Last month, DNASTAR announced the integration of the Mastermind database from Genomenon into the Lasergene Genomics software with the release of Lasergene 17.2. Lasergene users can now search and cross-references NGS variant data from millions of PubMed publications. This integration gives researchers new insights into their variant data and allows for even faster discoveries for those studying human genetics, cancer, and rare diseases.
