Features

Features are annotations made to a specified range on a sequence. They can be imported as part of a sequence file (e.g., Genbank, EMBL, etc.), or they can be created within SeqBuilder Pro. See the following topics to learn how to: Create or delete features Edit…

Step 5: Run the cloning simulation

Automated Virtual Cloning » Step 5: Run the cloning simulation

When you have specified the insert and vector, and set up additional options as desired, you are ready to begin the cloning simulation: Press the Try It or Clone button in the bottom right corner of the Project window. The view switches from the Clone tab to the…

Specify the appearance of features in the Feature Library Manager and Annotation Results window

Plasmid Auto-Annotation » Specify the appearance of features in the Feature Library Manager and Annotation Results window

You can use the tools at the top of the Feature Library Manager to control how features are displayed in the Manager, itself, and in the Annotation Results window after performing the auto-annotation procedure. This step is entirely optional. For example, you could…

Automated Batch Cloning
