External files
In order to help you organize your research projects, Biomedical Genomics Workbench
lets you import all kinds of files. E.g. if you have Word, Excel or
pdf-files related to your project, you can import them into the
Navigation Area of Biomedical Genomics Workbench. Importing an external file
creates a copy of the file which is stored at the location you have
chosen for import. The file can now be opened by double-clicking the
file in the Navigation Area. The file is opened using the
default application for this file type (e.g. Microsoft Word for
.doc-files and Adobe Reader for .pdf).
External files are imported and exported in the same way as bioinformatics files (see Import of bioinformatic data). Bioinformatics files not recognized by Biomedical Genomics Workbench are also treated as external files.
