Please note that a minor update to GenAlEx 6.1 has been posted. This version (6.1004) fixes a bug that prevented GenAlEx 6.1 from loading on some Finnish, French, Polish and Swedish systems. If you have not encountered this problem with GenAlEx 6.1, then there is no need to upgrade. If all goes to plan, GenAlEx 6.2 will be released by mid year, 2008.

GenAlEx 6.1 now available! Following almost 6 months of beta testing by registered users, we are pleased to announce the official release of GenAlEx 6.1.
GenAlEx 6.1 is an essential upgrade that replaces GenAlEx 6. In addition to minor improvements in the interface and the usual bug fixes, GenAlEx 6.1 offers some exciting new features for both teachers and researchers. For teachers, some of the new features include: more step-by-step output options, more tools for data exploration, and new tools for teaching topics such as permutation and bootstrapping. For researchers, we have considerably expanded the Analysis of Molecular Variance options to include more detailed F -statistics analysis, additional analysis outputs by locus, additional specialized permute options, additional graphing options, and the output of Linearized F st. We have also added support for Binary Haploid data, expanded the range of TwoGener options and added Nei Unbiased Heterozygosity and Nei Unbiased Genetic Distance estimates for all types of data.
GenAlEx 6.1 is fully compatible with Excel 2007. This includes the ability to take advantage of the substantially increased number of columns from 256 pre-Excel 2007 to 16,384 columns in Excel 2007. This capability will be particularly welcomed by AFLP users, whose binary data sets frequently exceed more than 256 polymorphic loci. The extra columns per worksheet will also allow expanded capability for working with DNA sequences within GenAlEx. If you intend to use GenAlEx 6.1 in Excel 2007, be sure to read the additional information provided when you download GenAlEx.
GenAlEx 6.1 now provides direct export of data to more than 20 other genetic software packages or formats including: AFLP-SURV, Alleles in Space, Arlequin, Cervus, FAMD, Famoz, Fdist2, GDA, GeneClass, GenePop, GeneticStudio, Kingroup, MEGA, MSA, MsVAr, Nexus, Phylip. POLDISP, PopGene, SPAeDI, Structure and TFPGA packages. In addition, indirect export to other packages such as Fstat and BAPS is available via the GenePop export format.
Thank you for using GenAlEx 6.1. Enjoy!
