Supported file types for Import/Export

Importing Sequences

Common sequence formats supported:

• .ab1
• .fastq
• .gb (GenBank)
• .fasta
• .geneious

If you are importing large numbers of individual sequence files (eg. more than 100 MB), we recommend that you import them as a single zipped file.

Importing other file types

Other file types can also be uploaded and viewed in Geneious Biologics, or imported for use in downstream functions like adding assay data.

• .csv  and .xlsx (imported either as sequences or as assay data documents)
• .pdf
• .png

For more detailed information about how to upload files, see here.

Export

For more information on exporting sequences and tables, see our main article: Exporting Annotated Sequences and Sequence Tables.

Tabular results
The All Sequences and Cluster table information can be exported in:

• Excel format (.xlsx)
• Comma Separated values (.csv).

Sequences
Due to file format limitations, not all of these formats will preserve all of the sequence features and annotations viewable in Geneious Biologics.

• .geneious
• .gb (GenBank)
• .fasta  
• .fastq (compressed)

Graphs
All graphs are exportable either as image files or tables of the underlying data

• .png
• .csv

Alignments

• .geneious
• .newick 
• .png (image)
• .csv or .xlsx (table)
