New Features in Alamut version 1.1 (Oct. 2007)
- Transcripts
- The RefSeq database is now the primary source of transcripts (previously, we used transcripts predicted by Ensembl). The consequence of this change is that gene structures displayed in Alamut are now more conformant with sequences commonly used in medical genetics.
- SNPs
- SNPs come from the latest dbSNP build (127). Allele and genotype frequencies can now be displayed. Furthermore, users can choose to display only validated SNPs.
- Orthologs
- Orthologs are now available for almost all genes in Alamut, taken from ~30 species.
- Mutation reports
- When a custom cDNA numbering is in use, the nomenclature is displayed using both custom and official numbering. The short nomenclature description for frameshifts (e.g. p.Arg97fs) can be used instead of the long one (e.g. p.Arg97fsX13).
- User interface
- Windows graphics contents can be captured, copied and pasted in other applications. Mutation and SNP reports can be printed.
