There have been quite a few changes since the latest release of MuGeN. The most important ones are summarized below :
Warning |
The format of MuGeN's preferences file has undergone significant changes. This makes the format of the previous file incompatible with the current one. Hence, any existing preferences file has to be renamed before running the latest release of MuGeN. A fresh preferences file can then be generated by using the Save Preferences item of the Preferences menu in the Map Drawing Window. The way preferences are handled had to be changed to enable persistence of new preferences (screen width, number of displayed map lines, base pairs per map line, view mode thresholds). |
MuGeN's interactive navigation tool can be run with the mugen command as well as with the usual mugenv command.
Computer analysis results can be extracted from sources other than local files. As an example of live result computation, a pattern search feature is provided. Another example, only available to users residing on the INRA campus at Jouy-en-Josas is analysis result retrieval from a remote database.
Two new computer analysis result formats have been developed. A histogram-type result for drawing bar charts under annotated maps, and a link-type result for drawing lines linking positions in two consecutive annotated maps.
Screen updates are much faster after a window resize due to a rewrite of the way "reactive" features are handled.
Support for XEMBL access and EMBL access through CORBA have been removed : EMBL access is now available through vanilla BioPerl modules (much more reliable !).
