SeqEd 8-7
SEQED
FUNCTION
SeqEd is an interactive editor for entering and modifying sequences and for assembling parts of
existing sequences into new genetic constructs. You can enter sequences from the keyboard or
from a digitizer.
DESCRIPTION
SeqEd uses the screen of your terminal as a window into a sequence. Changes you make in the
sequence take place at the cursor position and are reflected immediately on the screen. You can
insert or delete symbols, move the cursor, search for patterns, check sequences by reentering
them, and edit documentation and embedded comments.
SetKeys lets you change the positions of the keys on your terminal keyboard to make it more
convenient to enter the letters G, A, T, and C.
You can enter a sequence and control SeqEd either from the terminal keyboard or from a
Graf/Bar digitizer.
EXAMPLE
When you run SeqEd with a command like % seqed sample.seq, your screen will look
something like this:
sample.seq
***** K E Y B O A R D *****

: You can have as many lines of header comments as you wish, and
:
: you can edit them in this space with the HEAding command.
