UGENE is a free, open-source, cross-platform bioinformatics software. UGENE deploys pre-defined pipelines and a flexible instrument to design new workflows and visually build multi-step analytics pipelines. The new UGENE v.1.31 release offers graphical, user-friendly wrapping of a number of popular command-line metagenomics classification programs (Kraken, CLARK, DIAMOND), combinable serially and in parallel through the workflow designer, with multiple, customizable reference databases. Ensemble classification voting is available through the WEVOTE algorithm, with augmented output in the form of detailed table reports. Pre-built workflows (which include all steps from data cleaning to summaries) are included with the installation and a tutorial is available on the UGENE website. Further expansion with multiple visualization tools for reports is planned.
UGENE is available at http://ugene.net/, implemented in C++ and Qt, and released under GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2.
UGENE 是一款免费的、开源的、跨平台的生物信息学软件。UGENE 部署了预定义的流程，并提供了一个灵活的工具，用于设计新的工作流程和可视化构建多步分析流程。新版本 UGENE v.1.31 提供了对许多流行的命令行宏基因组分类程序（Kraken、CLARK、DIAMOND）的图形化、用户友好的封装，这些程序可以通过工作流程设计器串行和并行组合，使用多个可定制的参考数据库。通过 WEVOTE 算法进行集成分类投票，并以详细的表格报告形式提供增强的输出。预构建的工作流程（包括从数据清理到摘要的所有步骤）随安装程序一起提供，UGENE 网站上提供了教程。计划进一步扩展，为报告添加多个可视化工具。
