After several months of work our team is glad to announce a new version of free and open-source UGENE bioinformatics suite. Version 1.4 adds 4 new plugins and brings numerous improvements and bug fixes. New plugins: restriction enzymes support, complete Smith-Waterman algorithm, repeats analysis and exportable sequence and alignment statistics.

The major user interface improvements were made in Workflow Designer, Sequence and Project views. Most of the computational algorithms (like MUSCLE) are now able to work in parallel mode. HMMER2 integration got SSE2 optimized version. PDB and MMDB 3D structures viewer now is able to save 3D models in 2D vector format.
