Enabling the automatic annotations highlighting allows you to automatically calculate and highlight annotations on each nucleotide sequence opened.

Currently, the following annotations types support the automatic highlighting:

• Open reading frames
• Restriction sites
• Plasmid features

The corresponding groups of annotations found are stored in the Auto-annotations object in the Annotations editor, for example:

<center>
     <br>
     <img src="/wiki/download/attachments/4227340/Automatic Annotations Highlighting.png"/>
     <br>
</center>

To disable/enable the automatic annotations calculations use the Automatic Annotations Highlighting menu button on the Sequence View toolbar:

<center>
     <br>
     <img src="/wiki/download/attachments/4227340/Automatic Annotations Highlighting_1.png"/>
     <br>
</center>

To create a permanent annotation click on the Make auto-annotations persistent context menu item and choose the annotation parameters in the Create Permanent Annotation dialog.
