With macOS 10.15, 32-bit programs no longer work (GenomeMatcher used bl2seq, which is no longer functional). Therefore, GenomeMatcher has been updated to version 3.0.

1. All the blast programs used are now blast+ version 2.9.0+. Additionally, users need to download MUMmer, MADDT, CONSERV, and clustalW2 themselves and specify the path to the programs.
2. The main screen is now resizable, allowing for wider displays to analyze data effectively.
3. Added a second track for displaying genes on the main screen.
4. The authentication system has been updated to resolve the issue where a change in the MAC address required users to obtain a new activation key.
5. Various changes have been made, so there may still be some bugs. It would be helpful if you report any issues you encounter.
6. Fixed the bug where pasting data copied from Excel resulted in errors (version 3.05).

When starting the application, you may encounter an error stating, "The application cannot be opened because it is damaged." In such cases, open the terminal and execute like followings:

xattr -rc /Users/user_name/Downloads/GenomeMatcher3.07.app

It is easier if you type "xattr -rc " and then drag the application icon into the terminal window. Please note that a space is required before and after "-rc."

The downloaded application may not work properly due to the Mac translocation feature, which temporarily isolates applications in a secure location. If this happens, please move the downloaded application to your desktop or a folder where you have write permissions before using it.
