new version: 1.5.0

[Carlos Peña]

Dear VoSeq users:

We just uploaded a new version of VoSeq. This version 1.5.0 includes new capabilities and many bug fixes, and can be downloaded from here: https://github.com/carlosp420/VoSeq/tags

New features:

- Now you can have more than one photo for each voucher, regardless whether you use Flickr or your local computer/server as repository for photos.

- A new tool to create a MS Excel table for genes used in a dataset. This table will produce statistics such as variable, conserved, parsimony informative sites and nucleotide frequencies for each gene in your dataset.

- If your gene have introns, don't worry! VoSeq can keep track of introns, and you can choose whether to use them when creating datasets.

- You will be able to produce "combined" datasets, that include genes as DNA sequences or as aminoacid sequences! If you define your genes as protein coding, VoSeq will be able to translate them in to aminoacids. If you don't specify this, VoSeq will treat your gene sequences as DNA sequences only.

- We have improved the "delete buttons" for vouchers and genes. If you click on any delete button, VoSeq will ask for confirmation. But! be careful with this, because if you delete a gene you will also loose all sequences and primers for this gene! Use the delete buttons with great care. "With great power comes great responsibility"

We will continue with our ToDo list and will be working on some of the requests by the people from Barcelona (IBE and UB) that were very kind in inviting me for a very intense hands-on workshop on installation and use of VoSeq.

Please let us know if you find bugs. We will fix them as soon as possible! You can notify us by posting messages to this discussion list or by email to me or Tobias.

cheers,

Carlos Peña
