GeneQuest assay documents can be exported into GenVision format by selecting File > Export as GenVision Project. This function is disabled if Set Ends (see Open a DNA sequence file) was previously used.

In the resulting dialog, specify a name and location for your GenVision project, then click Save.

You will be prompted with the following dialog:

  • Applied Method Displays will export all analysis methods currently applied to the Assay Document.
  • Selected Method Displays will export only those analysis methods currently selected on the Assay Document.
  • Scored ORFs will export ORFs that correspond to a Borodovsky method applied on the Assay Document for the same frame.

Select the GenVision content you wish to export, and then click OK. A GenVision project (.gnv) will be exported, in addition to a text (.txt) file for each exported panel. A new folder containing the exported text files will be created within the same directory as your GenVision project and will be named the same as your GenVision project with a data (.data) extension.

Additional considerations when exporting from GeneQuest to GenVision:

  • The figure will be exported as linear.
  • All exported text files will be prefixed with GQ to denote that they were exported from GeneQuest.
  • Features are grouped into panels by feature type. One panel will be created for each feature type.
  • For each feature panel created, a corresponding panel will be created for the feature labels.
  • Non-feature analysis methods are exported as one panel per selected/applied item.
  • Fill and line colors will be preserved for each exported method.
  • An End Legend file is created for all of the panels within the export and is named the same as your GenVision project with _table inserted. For example, GenVisionProject_table.txt.
