Geneious Prime 2026 Bioinformatics Geneious v2026

Geneious Prime v2026.0 (released November 18, 2025) introduces major updates focused on streamlining complex cloning workflows and enhancing cloud-based collaboration.

The most significant highlight of this release is the upgrade to the Golden Gate cloning tool, which now supports one-step multicistronic construct creation.

Key Features of Geneious Prime 2026.0

1. Advanced Molecular Cloning

One-Step Multiple Insertions: You can now insert non-contiguous fragments into a vector backbone in a single step using Golden Gate, Gibson, and In-Fusion cloning.
Restructured UI: The Golden Gate cloning dialog features a more intuitive flow, including a new multi-insertion tab to manage complex assemblies.
Backbone Visualization: The sequence view now highlights backbone fragment regions within the full circular backbone, making it easier to see exactly where digestion and insertion occur.

2. Cloud Workspace & Collaboration

Favourites Section: A new “Favourites” section allows you to pin frequently used folders from both cloud and local databases. These are synced across devices when using the Cloud Workspace.
Improved User Identification: The software now displays a person’s full name from their Geneious Account rather than just their OS username, improving clarity in collaborative environments.
Real-time Responsiveness: Cloud documents now update more quickly when modified by other users, and the reliability of saving document history has been improved.

3. Integration & Usability

Dotmatics Luma Enhancements: Updated search queries now support separate protein and nucleotide material types for Sequence Sets. It also resolves previous issues with duplicate sets and primer data transmission.
Streamlined UI: Building on the 2025 updates, the interface includes more comfortable layouts and hover effects to reduce visual clutter during intense analysis.
