GENtle/DNA

Within the DNA module, DNA sequences can be viewed, edited and annotated. It is the central module of GENtle. Two major components of the DNA module are the ../DNA map/ and the ../Sequence map/; see there for details.

Open and display DNA
A DNA sequence can be opened in one of the following ways:
 * Open from a database (see ../Databases/)
 * Import from file (see ../Import/)
 * Manual input (see ../Enter sequence/)
 * Create from another DNA module

Toolbar
Several functions and display options can be invoked in the tool bar:
 * ../Enter sequence/
 * Open sequence
 * Save sequence
 * Undo
 * Cut
 * Copy
 * Paste
 * Toggle linear/circular
 * Show/hide open reading frames
 * Show/hide features
 * Show/hide restriction sites
 * Expand (=show only) map
 * Toggle edit mode
 * Zoom

Detail tree
The detail tree, left of the DNA map, shows all parts of the current sequence, including features and restriction enzymes, in a structured fashion. Features and restriction enzymes can be toggled in visibility by a double click, or further manipulated through the context menu.
