Connecting research platforms is essential for efficient workflows. The integration between Geneious Prime and Labguru enables seamless sequence data sharing, helping you streamline sequence analysis, editing, and stock management in a centralized system.

This integration is made possible through Geneious’ open plugin architecture and Labguru’s flexible platform, allowing you to submit plasmids directly from Geneious Prime to your Labguru inventory.

The Plasmid Submitting Plugin

This plugin adds a convenient "Submit to Labguru" button to your Geneious Prime toolbar, letting you upload plasmids directly to Labguru’s Plasmid collection.

Note: If you’re using a plugin version installed before January 2025, it will still work but is no longer supported. We recommend upgrading to the latest version for the best experience.

How to install the plug-in:

  1. Open Geneious Prime on your computer.

  2. Go to the Marketplace, locate the Geneious Prime app and install it.

  3. Download the plugin from the app page.

    • Geneious Prime should automatically install the plugin.

    • If installation doesn’t start, follow the Manual Installation Instructions below or contact [email protected] for assistance.

  4. Restart Geneious Prime.

  5. You should see a new 'Submit to Labguru' option in the tool bar.

Detailed Instructions for Manual Plugin Installation

  1. In Geneious Prime, go to Tools → Plugins.

  2. The preferences window will open, make sure you are in the 'Plugins and Features' tab.

  3. Next, click 'Install plugin from gplugin file' and select the gplugin file you downloaded.

  4. Click install plugin → Apply → Save.
    ​

  5. Once the plugin has been successfully installed, restart Geneious Prime.

How to Submit Plasmids from Geneious to Labguru:

  1. Make sure the EasyEdit app (version 2.3 or above) is installed and running.
    ​Learn more about EasyEdit here.

  2. In Geneious Prime, select one or multiple plasmids and click Submit to Labguru.

  3. The plasmids will be added to Labguru’s Plasmids collection.

Updating Existing Plasmids:

  1. Submitting an updated plasmid from Geneious Prime to Labguru will overwrite the existing plasmid in Labguru, based on its name.

  2. Important: Changing a plasmid’s name in Geneious Prime will create a new plasmid entry in Labguru.

  3. If two plasmids with the same name are submitted, only the most recently submitted plasmid will have its data saved.

Note: Changes made to plasmids in Labguru will not sync back to Geneious Prime.
​

You’re all set! Begin submitting plasmids directly from Geneious Prime into your Labguru Plasmid inventory collection.
