Note: This topic is not applicable to BAM-based projects.
Any sequences that are not already associated with trace or flowgram data can be annotated with features within the Alignment View.
To create a new feature, select the range for the new feature on the sequence where you wish to create it:
Then select Features > New Feature. The Feature Editor window will appear:
•Enter a name for your feature in the Title field.
•If your feature has multiple segments, enter a name for the segment in the Segment Name field.
•Double-click on the segment from the list provided or click the Set Ends button to change the range of your feature.
The initial default feature type, or key, for new features is exon. This is displayed in the upper right corner next to the feature title. Once you create a new feature with a different feature type, SeqMan Pro will default to that new type for each new feature, until the current session of SeqMan Pro is closed.
Note: SeqMan Pro will automatically reject variants that occur within features of the type unsure. Please see Evaluating Variants for more information on changing the evaluation of a variant.
To change the feature type, select the Description tab:
•Change the feature type by selecting a key from the list provided.
•Enter qualifiers for your feature, if desired, in the Note field.
•When you are finished making changes, click OK.
•Your new feature will be displayed in the Feature Table.
