View as text
A sequence can be viewed as text without any layout and text formatting. This displays all the information about the sequence in the GenBank file format. To view a sequence as text:
- Select a sequence in the Navigation Area and right-click on the file name.
- Hover the mouse cursor over Show to see a list of options.
- Select Text View (
).
Or, if the sequence is already open, click on the Show Text View () button found at the bottom of the view.
This makes it possible to see background information about e.g. the authors and the origin of DNA and protein sequences. Selections or the entire text of the Text View can be copied and pasted into other programs.
Much of the information is also displayed in the Element Info view (
), where it is easier to get an overview.
In the Side Panel, you find a search field for searching the text in the view.
