Basic Features of Genome Workbench
Take a look at this video showing how you can get started using Genome Workbench.
Loading a Genome
This video shows how to load an entire genome into Genome Workbench and how to use the data.
Six Frame Translations
This video shows how to display and interpret the six frame translations in Genome Workbench.
Search and View a Gene
Take a look at this video showing how you can search the NCBI databases for a gene and see it in Genome Workbench.
Move and Dock Windows
Take a look at this video showing some of the basic functions you can do with Genome Workbench to configure it for your work flow. You can move and dock the various windows where ever they work best for you. You can create tab groups to save screen space and keeping all the tools available.
Phylogenetic Trees
Take a look at this video showing a simple case of creating a phylogenetic tree with Genome Workbench. This example uses the MUSCLE alignment tool to create alignments for proteins found in the Collembola organism. This is a simple example, but you can imagine a more complex use.
Window Masker
Take a look at this video showing a simple use of Window Masker to remove repetitive portions of the sequence.
Import BAM and Export Selected Alignments
Take a look at this video showing how to import BAM files and export alignments.
Using ProSplign
Take a look at this video showing how to use ProSplign for Protein to Genomic Alignments.
Multiple Sequence Aligners in Genome Workbench
Take a look at this video showing how to use Multiple Sequence Aligners in Genome Workbench. You can also read the Multiple Sequence Aligners in Genome Workbench web manual.
Introducing the Genome Submission Wizard in Genome Workbench Version 3.0.0
Take a look at this video showing how to use Genome Submission Wizard in Genome Workbench. You can also read the Genome Submission Wizard in Genome Workbench web manual.
Genome Workbench: The Update Sequence Feature
Take a look at this video showing how to use the Update Sequence Feature that allows the users to easily update GenBank sequences.
Current Version is 3.8.2 (released December 12, 2022)
