The Tracks panel, represented by a graph icon (
), provides a list of prediction tracks sorted by classification. Prediction tracks are used to evaluate the sequence and structural characteristics of a protein. Results of tracks chosen in this panel are displayed in the Analysis or Pairwise views on a common horizontal scale. The Tracks panel includes one expandable section for setting options for a selected track type.
Opening the Tracks panel:
Do any of the following:
- Click on the Tracks tab
- Use View > Tracks > Tracks
- Press Ctrl+Alt+T (Windows) or Option+Cmd+T (Macintosh)
- Double-click on a synopsis or channel in the Analysis view; this simultaneously selects the method and opens the corresponding parameter dialog.
Using the Tracks panel:
| Task | How To |
|---|---|
| To reveal/hide sub-tracks | Click on the expand arrows to the left of some tracks (e.g., Hydropathy). |
| To learn about the available tracks and to modify options for the selected track | Use the Track Options section. Some options allow you to type in values. Note that if you type in a disallowed value, a small red/white “X” will appear, and a message balloon will notify you of the allowable range. |
| To apply a prediction track to the active sequence | Check the box to the left of the method name. Checking or unchecking a top-level box will cause its sub-tracks to also be checked/unchecked. Prediction results are displayed in the Analysis view. |
| To view details about a track | Select the track by clicking on its name and then open the Details panel. |
