Editing bases in a sequence

Editing the contig

You can edit a sample while it is loaded in:

• Chromatogram Editor
• Sequence Editor
• Assembly Grid

IUPAC ambiguity code is supported. These is no difference between editing an input sample or editing the contig. To edit a single sample, double click that sample in Project Manager to load it. Multiple sequences can also be easily edited in the Assembly window.

The editing functions can be accessed in different ways:

• from the Edit base button in the main menu (see Fig. 1)
• from the Edit base button pop-up menu (see Fig. 2)
• double click the base that you want to edit
