Open a selection in a new view
A selection can be opened in a new view and saved as a
new sequence:
right-click the selection | Open selection in New View ()
This opens the annotated part of the sequence in a new view. The new sequence can be saved by dragging the tab of the sequence view into the Navigation Area.
The process described above is also the way to manually translate coding parts of sequences (CDS) into protein. You simply translate the new sequence into protein. This is done by:
right-click the tab of the new sequence | Toolbox | Nucleotide Analysis ()| Translate to Protein ()
A selection can also be copied to the clipboard and pasted into another program:
make a selection | Ctrl + C ( + C on Mac)
Note! The annotations covering the selection will not be copied.
A selection of a sequence can be edited as described in Editing the sequence.
