What’s new in SAMSON 2024 - Core updates#
This is Part I of What’s new in SAMSON 2024, the release notes for SAMSON 2024.
Interactive Sequence Views#
SAMSON 2024 introduces interactive Sequence Views which are in sync with the document: residues selected in a Sequence View become selected in the Document View and the 3D Viewport, and vice versa.
Furthermore, Sequence Views let you colorize residues in the sequence based on biophysical properties, and these colors can be transferred to the residues in the 3D Viewport:
To access Sequence Views, either click the View sequence command from the Home menu:
or right-click on a structure and select Structural model > View sequence from the Context menu:
If a structure contains multiple chains, a pop-up will appear to let you choose which sequence(s) to view:
SAMSON AI ✨#
SAMSON AI is now based on GPT4o in the Professional plan. Please refer to the User Guide for more information.
Job Manager improvements#
The Job Manager, which lets you manage cloud calculations (for e.g., protein structure prediction using AlphaFold and NVIDIA BioNeMo Services, or molecular dynamics simulations using GROMACS), now makes it possible to download all job files by double-clicking the job:
The Job Details view has been reorganized:
and it is easier to edit the Job name and notes:
which are automatically synced with your SAMSON Connect Account.
Finally, a job Context menu now gives you rapid access to local files (the ones that have already been downloaded), remote files (the ones stored in the cloud), as well as the job view on SAMSON Connect (refer to Part V for more information about sharing Job results):
New User Guide and Tutorials#
For SAMSON 2024, the User Guide on SAMSON Connect is now using a new framework that makes it easier to browse:
Furthermore, search is now blazingly fast and extremely powerful:
Tutorials for SAMSON extensions also use the new framework:
Increased portability#
SAMSON 2024 introduces increased support for glibc2.17 libraries, allowing it to run on older Linux environments.
