Bioinformatics tool updated: Geneious Pro 3

New Zealand-based Biomatters has released Geneious Pro 3.0, an update to the application for scientists designed to search, organize, access, visualize and analyze genomic information. The company says that Geneious Pro 3.0 delivers a 'backbone' application connecting the spectrum of biological science, enabling existing and future software research tools to 'talk' with each other in full inter-operability. Offering sophisticated genome & proteome research tools as well as protein or molecular visualization, Geneious Pro 3.0 allows users to teach or learn bioinformatics interactively and includes patented scientific document and data "search and store" functions.

Collaboration features within Geneious allow users to chat, share data and work on projects together over the internet. In addition, Geneious can retrieve and categorize scientific information from any data source on the Web, allowing peers to collaborate in realtime, interface with lab equipment and other applications. Pricing is $1000 (with substantial discounts for academic institutions, governments organizations, and students). A limited free version is also available.

Too expensive

To be honest, the basic app has a lot of possibilities, but at a $1000 - few will want the pro version. Even at $100, it's rather pricey.

Even the basic app is superceded in most ways by MEGA (FREE). Until you can meet their feature set and usability, expect that many Mac users will run MEGA via Parallels or other emulators instead of ponying up for either the basic or pro version.
