I want to provide some sequences to another caller. E.g. sequences
55-90 from database PLUS-PAT.SEQ, which contains 435 sequences.
Is there an opportunity to do so? The export of selected sequences of a
database, or the import of selected sequences into a database? As I
understand CSDS does only import whole databases. I tried to open a
database with word and delete the sequences I dont want to provide. But
it failed, because I deleted important characters of the file
accidently.
No easy way...
Do this:
- Run CSDS;
First, create a text file with all the sequences:
- From the main menu, select 'Sequence | Print';
- Clear the print list (click the 'eraser' button, or 'Edit | Clear list';
- Enter the sequence range into the print list:
E.g., PLUS-PAT
55-90
(make sure the line with the numbers is indented)
- Select 'Format = One text file'.
- Press the 'Print' button.
- Select an Output File pathname then press the 'Save' button.
- The sequences are written to the file, and a confirmation message box appears. Close it.
- Close the 'Print Sequence(s)' window.
Next, import the sequences into a new database:
- From the CSDS main menu, select 'Sequence | Import':
- For the 'Source type' (right-side), select 'Text file' (separated by at-sign (@))'
- For the 'Source file', select the output file created above.
- For the destination database, press the 'yellow sun' button to create a new database.
- Press the 'OK' button at bottom of "Import Sequences" window to populate the new
database with the sequences from the file.
Done!
