Adding new parts

Details about this feature can be found in the main Genome Compiler user guide:

-See section 1.4 for standard editing tools.

• To add a new part in SnapGene first place a cursor at the insertion point or select the sequence to be replaced, go to “Edit” in the main menu and select “Insert Bases” (Figure 3.4.13.1). Paste or type a sequence into the dialogue and press “Insert” (Figure 3.4.13.2). The new inserted sequence will be highlighted allowing you to define it as a specific feature (Figure 3.4.13.3) by choosing “Add feature” from “Features” in the main menu (Figure 3.4.13.4).
