Textco BioSoftware, Inc. today announced the release of Gene Inspector™ 1.6 built for Macintosh® OS X. This popular software product was originally identified by Macworld as, "one of the best pieces of science software ever released". The program integrates a comprehensive sequence analysis package and powerful illustration tools into a versatile electronic research notebook. The intuitive interface allows users to organize large amounts of diverse, yet inter-related information, enabling researchers to plan, annotate, and execute experiments and analyses in a single application.
Robert H. Gross, Ph.D., co-founder and President of Textco BioSoftware, designed the original Gene Inspector application for use in his own research. "With this overhaul of Gene Inspector, we have capitalized on the power of Mac OS X, and its Aqua interface, to provide an intuitive tool for researchers to use in their genomic and proteomic studies," commented Dr. Gross. "The notebook features help users easily produce documents to summarize and manage complex experiments, and produce publication quality illustrations. Gene Inspector's analysis setups allow parameters to be set and stored so that consistent results are easy to obtain, even between multiple users. We are very excited to offer the ability to manipulate and examine gene and protein sequences in such a graphically expressive environment."
Gene Inspector™ 1.6, currently available exclusively for the Mac, features more than 60 standard analyses for both nucleic acids and peptides including multiple sequence alignments, BLAST searching, dot matrix comparisons, and prediction of the physical properties of translation-product peptides.
A demo version of Gene Inspector is available.
