News & Updates
New video on creating bacterial genome annotations from GenBank files
Avadis NGS provides easy access to genomic annotations for commonly investigated organisms like mouse, rat, human, and many more. However, our growing annotations database does not yet include many strains of bacteria. If you are working with bacterial genomes and need to create the annotations in Avadis NGS, then watch our latest video tutorial.
After watching this video tutorial, you will be able to easily create your bacteria's reference genome from a GenBank file with the Avadis NGS Annotations Manager and Script #10 in our online scripts library.
Latest version of Avadis NGS is compatible with Mac OS X Lion
Avadis NGS version 1.2.3 was released on 5 August 2011, making Avadis NGS fully compatible with Apple's new operating system Mac OS X Lion (version 10.7). However, we recommend that all Avadis NGS users upgrade their installations to this new version of Avadis NGS. The complete release notes are available here.
One of the major updates in Mac OS X Lion, affecting Avadis NGS and many other applications, is that Java is no longer bundled with the OS by default. Moreover, upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion wipes out the presence of Java on your Mac. Java is essential for running all versions of Avadis NGS on a Mac, so if you are a current user of Avadis NGS and would like to continue using versions equal to or earlier than v1.2.2, please follow these instructions when starting Avadis NGS for the first time after upgrading to Mac OS X Lion.
If you are already using Mac OS X Lion and are installing Avadis NGS for the first time, you need to install version 1.2.3 of Avadis NGS. You will not be able to install earlier versions of the software. You can find more information on this here.
