Sequin entering sequences

Another important attribute is the ability to enter relevant annotation in a simple format in the definition line of the sequence data file. Sequin recognizes and extracts this information when reading the sequences and then puts it in the proper places in the record. For nucleotide sequences, it is possible to enter the organism s scientific name, the strain or clone name, and several other soince modifiers. For example... 

As a final step. Sequin displays an editor that allows all orgaiusm and somce modifiers on each sequence to be edited (or entered if the definition lines were not aimotated). On confirmation of the modifiers. Sequin finishes assemhling the record into the proper structure. 

The concepts behind feature propagation and the sequence editor combine to provide a simple and automatic method for updating an existing sequence. The Update Sequence functions allow the user to enter an overlapping sequence or a replacement sequence. Sequin makes an alignment, merges the sequences if necessary, propagates features onto the new sequence in their new positions, and uses these to replace the old sequence and features.
