It is very important for students, researchers, or biomedical practitioners in the field of molecular biology to have a professional and easy-to-use tool for DNA sequence analysis of biomolecules. Thereinto, SnapGene provides users with professional biological analysis functions; helps users quickly plan, visualize and record the biological analysis procedure; provides a safer and faster approach; and provides a lot of help for daily molecular biology learning and research.

As a powerful and versatile tool for molecular biology on Windows and Mac platforms, SnapGene helps user analyze all kinds of detailed data about DNA; creates and modifies DNA maps; compares DNA data; generates detailed DNA sequence files; comes with cloning technology for creating seamless gene fusion; and provides a variety of functions that biological researchers need at work.

SnapGene allows user to visualize and simulate what they’re doing with DNA, and intelligently alerts the user if an error occurs. All the operations done by users on DNA will be recorded in the software. Besides, SnapGene also provides detailed technical working principles for users, helping them conduct more convenient and intelligent operations in study and work.

  4. Copy the unlocked file to installation folder and overwrite
  5. Done

*** This patch and method also work for v5.x.x, but that has some bugs, like: automatically exits program when you edit the DNA sequence; the DNA sequence disappears when you scroll the page…

// Prompts //

  • Delete the following folder can initialize the program:
    • C:\Users\AppNee.com\AppData\Roaming\GSLBiotech

// Warning //

The unlock patch might be reported as  threat Win32:Rootkit-gen [Rtk] with high risk. Use VirusTotal to make a full, authoritative scan, and decide to use it or not by yourself.

*** Please remember: antivirus software is not always right, just be careful and use it at your own risk.
