Editing the sequence
When you make a
selection, it can be edited by:
right-click the selection | Edit
Selection (
)
A dialog appears displaying the sequence. You can add, remove or
change the text and click OK. The original selected part of the
sequence is now replaced by the sequence entered in the dialog. This
dialog also allows you to paste text into the sequence using Ctrl +
V (
+ V on Mac).
If you delete the text in the dialog and press OK, the selected text on the sequence will also be deleted. Another way to delete a part of the sequence is to:
right-click the selection | Delete
Selection (
)
If you wish to correct only one residue, this is possible by simply making the selection cover only one residue and then type the new residue. Another way to edit the sequence is by inserting a restriction site. See Insert restriction site before/after selection.
Note When editing annotated nucleotide sequences, the annotation content is not updated automatically (but its position is). Please refer to Edit annotations for details on annotation editing. Before exporting annotated nucleotide sequences in GenBank format, ensure that the annotations in the Annotations Table reflect the edits that have been made to the sequence.
