Genome Forge v0.1.9

Genome Forge v0.1.9

Release date: 2026-04-29

Highlights

• Retitled the tutorial to Teach Yourself DNA Bioinformatics with Genome Forge to match the DNA-centered scope of the course.
• Expanded the tutorial to 45 lessons with ApE-inspired DNA workflows:
  • diagnostic cutter selection between related constructs
  • custom DNA ladder-centric digest planning
  • dense text-map sequence inspection
  • silent restriction-site engineering
  • linked trace-to-reference navigation
  • selected-sequence external BLAST launch
• Added publication-quality concept illustrations for diagnostic digests, silent-site engineering, and trace evidence review.
• Rebuilt the tutorial PDF as a US Letter, duplex-oriented print edition with a designed front cover, inside front cover, mirrored gutters, and an even-page back cover.
• Regenerated tutorial HTML, PDF, dataset metadata, playbook, and per-case bundles.
