Core offering

Geneious develops and sells bioinformatics software for molecular biology and sequence analysis. Its core products include Geneious Prime, a desktop and cloud platform for Sanger and NGS data analysis, molecular cloning, primer design, and CRISPR; Geneious Biologics, a cloud-based antibody discovery and screening solution; and Geneious Luma, an AI-powered scientific intelligence platform for biologics R&D. The software is sold primarily on annual subscription licenses to academic, government, and biopharma customers.

Product overview

Geneious, a brand under Dotmatics, provides a portfolio of bioinformatics software products centered on molecular biology and sequence analysis. The core product is Geneious Prime, a comprehensive desktop bioinformatics platform for sequence data analysis, molecular cloning, and CRISPR tools. This integrates with Geneious Biologics, a cloud-based antibody screening and analysis solution that handles NGS, Single Cell, and Sanger datasets for antibody discovery workflows. Geneious Luma extends the portfolio with AI-powered scientific intelligence and workflow automation specifically designed for biologics R&D, connecting wet and dry lab environments. Enterprise licensing adds Single Sign-On, SCIM provisioning, and advanced automation features. Geneious Academy provides free educational resources including tutorials and video series. The products are available through personal and team subscription models for academic and corporate users.
