From RSpace 1.68 we are pleased to be able to offer a new service to view DNA sequence files in collaboration with SnapGene. Currently supported file formats include:

  • Genbank (.gb, .gbk)
  • Fasta (.fa, .fasta)
  • Native Snapgene files (.dna)
  • Embl (.embl)
  • Lasergene (.seq)
  • SeqBuilder (.sbd)

You can:

  • View images of the files annotated with ORFs and restriction sites
  • View ORFs in a table
  • View restriction enzyme sites in a table
  • View and copy plain-text of the sequence for pasting into another application

Further details are described in the Help documentation here.

RSpace is more than an ELN — and now our website says so!

News

RSpace has grown well beyond its ELN roots — it now integrates sample management, research workflow orchestration, and FAIR-enabling infrastructure like persistent identifiers and metadata standards into one cohesive platform. In early March we relaunched researchspace.com with a new look and structure that reflects this evolution across three tightly integrated facets: Research Orchestrator, ELN, and Sample Management.

From ELN to FAIR Research Infrastructure: Our Vision for RSpace

Research Data Management

We kicked off 2026 by presenting RSpace's vision for FAIR data workflows to the Competence Network for Open Science in Poland. The talk explored how vertical interoperability enables seamless data and metadata flow across the research lifecycle. You can find the presentation "RSpace - From Electronic Laboratory Notebook to FAIR Research Data Orchestration” here (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18253482).
