@cenewman0 @Geneious You don't need a license to open and view existing files in Geneious Prime...

@Dr_Stoat This tweet finds me in the limbo between adventures!

@aei_sci Have you been using SnapGene to do it manually? If so, which cloning techniques have you been using without getting SnapGene to do the primer design?

@JWVeening @SnapGene When SnapGene 6.1 is released...

[Jo Smith @magical_jo]

@ditlevbrodersen @biologistninja @SnapGene I mean at what level of differences - like do you mean difference in the features that are or aren't present on the file, or differences in the actual sequence? Or something else?

[Jo Smith @magical_jo]

@ditlevbrodersen @biologistninja @SnapGene Can you be more specific about what you mean by 'annotation of differences'?

@jaysundj @drbehardisty @mildanalyst I personally find myself far less trusting of people who reach a conclusion and never question it, and far more trusting of people who continue to question, and are prepared to admit if they were wrong about something.

[Jo Smith @magical_jo]

@jaysundj @drbehardisty @mildanalyst The Fact that the polio vaccine stops people getting a severe and debilitating disease is unchanged and an excellent thing. That scientists continue to question and gain deeper understanding of how this is achieved is also excellent, and a good basis for trust in my opinion.

@VeritasNZ @NeilDadson @MatthewHootonNZ Having grown up as the kid of a boat builder who worked on America's Cup yachts I can assure you there are plenty of people who aren't rich involved. And some pretty damn cool technological advances being developed too. Personally I like it for the science.

@VeritasNZ @NeilDadson @MatthewHootonNZ I've never understood this rich person's sport thing. All elite professional sports teams cost a fortune to run...and the original Black Magic wasn't some beat up runabout.

#hasfit not sure if I love you guys or hate you guys! Finished the 14 day jump start last week and now onto foundations 😅😳😅

[Jo Smith @magical_jo]

@gadmark @will_barrcode @SnapGene @zotero @BioRender I ask this every time (and am collecting the responses) ... Why? What SnapGening do you want to do on an iPad? Instead of or as well as a laptop/pc? And do you take your iPad into the lab?

[Jo Smith @magical_jo]

@HamidKian10 @SnapGene Glad you like it 😀 And loving the colour scheme for your features! You can now save the gel as a .gel by the way (in SnapGene 6.0 which was released earlier this week) ...

@markwbudde @Archaeon_Alex @acritschristoph @codebiologist @Dr_AlphaLyrae @ATinyGreenCell @macroliter Thanks! I will find a way to copy this into our feedback system 😅 (I suck at twitter).

[Jo Smith @magical_jo]

@acritschristoph @Archaeon_Alex @codebiologist @Dr_AlphaLyrae @ATinyGreenCell @macroliter I mean everyone is a hypocrite sometimes :)... I've not read much from your link yet, but the idea that software can be copied & modified seems to go for things like music as well... & I guess sequences. Not sure where I think the line should be. Thanks for the reading :).

[Jo Smith @magical_jo]

@Archaeon_Alex @acritschristoph @codebiologist @Dr_AlphaLyrae @ATinyGreenCell @macroliter My interpretation was that this sub-thread was about both products actually. But you're right - I wasn't clear with my post what I was talking about, and I should have been. I apologise for that.

[Jo Smith @magical_jo]

@Archaeon_Alex @acritschristoph @codebiologist @Dr_AlphaLyrae @ATinyGreenCell @macroliter Well I meant suggestions about how people would like to see improvements in the app. But that wasn't really the point, because those weren't SnapGene's words, I'm just Jo.

[Jo Smith @magical_jo]

@Archaeon_Alex @acritschristoph @codebiologist @Dr_AlphaLyrae @ATinyGreenCell @macroliter Actually, one last thing. My job is to look at user feedback, industry trends and the business' goals to work out what we should do next for SnapGene. I can do that better if you let me know what you want! So please use Help -> Make a Suggestion (in SnapGene) and let us know :D

[Jo Smith @magical_jo]

@Archaeon_Alex @acritschristoph @codebiologist @Dr_AlphaLyrae @ATinyGreenCell @macroliter So in summary, thanks for my awesome SnapGene T-shirt that I guess your subscriptions paid for :D ... and I can't WAIT to get back into the office (it's in NZ, not the Bay area, for the record) because I'm really not cut out for working from home.
