Guide to GenAlEx

Note that GenAlEx 6.501 was a critical update for all GenAlEx users!  Please read the Release History and Read Me pdfs contained in the download packs for crucial information about the improvements and bug fixes.  Newer versions of  GenAlEx incorporate all of the 6.501 bug fixes and offer additional new features, therefore, GenAlEx 6.501 is no longer available.

About GenAlEx 6.503 This GenAlEx release for Excel 2016 running in Windows offered new access to all GenAlEx options via the Excel Ribbon. Prior to this version, all access to GenAlEx options was via the GenAlEx menu.  The location of the GenAlEx menu has depended on the version of Excel used, and the operating system. From this new version onwards, the Excel Ribbon will provide a common interface and access point to GenAlEx options across Excel versions and operating systems.


GenAlEx 6.502 offered new Shannon Diversity Analysis options as described in: Smouse, P.E., Whitehead, M.R., and Peakall, R. (2015) An informational diversity framework, illustrated with sexually deceptive orchids in early stages of speciation. Molecular Ecology Resources 15, 1375-1384 (DOI 10.111/1755-0998.12422)

GenAlEx 6.502.xla is fully compatible with Excel 2003 to Excel 2016 on Windows.  On Mac it is compatible with Excel 2004 and 2011.

GenAlEx 6.503.xlam is fully compatible with Excel 2016 on Windows, and is expected to be backwards compatible to Excel 2010. Note that this version of GenAlEx is not yet fully compatible with Excel 2016 on the Macintosh. Nonetheless, our recent tests in March 2018 show that most GenAlEx options do run successfully, but with some minor Dialog box and Ribbon button image issues.  These minor, mostly cosmetic issues, have yet to be fully resolved.
