Details about this feature can be found in the main Genome Compiler user guide:
See section 1.5 for standard editing tools.
To add a new part in Vector NTI you can place the caret at the right position in the Sequence pane or go to the main menu and press “Edit”-”Set Caret Position”. Then you can either begin typing or paste a sequence from the clipboard using Ctrl+v or choose “Edit”-“New”-“Insert Sequence at XXX bp” from the main menu (Figure 3.2.18.1). All the above will open the Insert Sequence dialog box (Figure 3.2.18.2).
