Create a New Sequence

The following video is a brief overview of sequence creation and editing in SeqBuilder Pro.

To create a new DNA or protein sequence from scratch:

1. Choose the appropriate menu command or keyboard shortcut.

• • DNA: File > New DNA or Ctrl/Cmd+N.
    
    
  • Protein: File > New Protein, Alt+N (Win), or Option+N (Mac).

2. Using the keyboard, type in the new sequence using the appropriate IUPAC codes.

To create a new sequence related to a currently-open sequence:

1. (optional) Choose a portion of sequence (e.g., by clicking on a feature). Otherwise, the entire sequence will be used.

2. Use the options in the Sequence > New Sequence sub-menu to create a new sequence project that uses the selection (or the entire sequence) as a starting point.

*Note: To activate all of the options in the sub-menu, you must first select all or part of the open sequence.
