View components |
Sequence view is one of the major object views in UGENE aimed to visualize DNA or protein sequences along with their properties like annotations, chromatograms, 3D models, statistical data, etc..
For an each file UGENE analyses the file content and automatically opens the most appropriate view.
To activate Sequence view open any file with at least one DNA or protein sequence. For example you can use Haemophilus.emb file that can be found in samples folder of UGENE.
After opening the file in UGENE a 'Sequence view' window appears:
After the view is opened you can see a set of new buttons in the toolbar area.
The actions provided by these buttons buttons are available for all sequences opened in the current view.
In the picture below these buttons are pointed by 'global actions' arrow.
Below the toolbar there is a widget for a single sequence with 3 special areas: a smaller toolbar with actions
for the widget's sequence only, Sequence overview widget and Sequence details widget.
All these widgets will be discussed
in the following chapters.
The bottommost widget of Sequence view is Annotations editor. The Annotations editor contains a tree-like structure
of all annotations available for all sequences shown in Sequence view and can be used to perform various actions
on annotations: create new annotations, modify existing ones, group, sort etc...
It's possible to switch Sequence overview and Sequence details widgets visibility by using the rightmost
button in the toolbar:
The sequence can be removed from the view by using the same button's menu. Once you remove the last sequence in the view,
the view is automatically closed.
