Working with annotations
Annotations provide information about specific regions of a sequence. A typical example is the annotation of a gene on a genomic DNA sequence.
Annotations derive from different sources:
- Sequences downloaded from databases like GenBank are annotated.
- In some of the data formats that can be imported into CLC Sequence Viewer, sequences can have annotations (GenBank, EMBL and Swiss-Prot format).
- The result of a number of analyses in CLC Sequence Viewer are annotations on the sequence (e.g. finding open reading frames and restriction map analysis).
Note! Annotations are included if you export the sequence in GenBank, Swiss-Prot, EMBL or CLC format. When exporting in other formats, annotations are not preserved in the exported file.
