OIT, the School of Medicine, Department of Biology, Institute for Genome Sciences & Policy, Duke Human Vaccine Institute, Department of Biomedical Engineering, and Dr. Mohamed Noor have combined resources to bring this license to the Duke teaching and research community at no cost to individual labs, faculty, staff, or students.
This is an unprecedented, landmark effort which may pave the way for future collective software purchases distributed centrally across the organization.
The Lasergene Core Suite consists of eight applications, and is the most robust of all the Lasergene offerings. With the eight applications listed below, you can do sequence editing and map creation, contig assembly, multiple and pairwise alignments, design primers, discover genes, analyze and visualize protein structure, perform automated virtual cloning, and much, much more.
SeqBuilder – for sequence editing and annotation, automated virtual cloning, and primer design SeqMan Pro– for contig assembly and analysis, including SNP discovery, coverage evaluation, and project annotation MegAlign – for DNA and protein sequence alignments and analysis GeneQuest – for gene discovery and annotation Protean 3D – for exploring macromolecular structure, motion, and function. Protean – for protein structure analysis and prediction PrimerSelect – for primer design EditSeq – for importing and editing unusual file types
It is important that each researcher or lab using the software report installation usage properly on the software order form so that we can collect accurate usage metrics for future funding considerations.
