Usage Tips

How do I add restriction enzymes?

If you wish to use a restriction enzyme that is not in the default set of enzymes supplied with Sequencher, open a project and highlight the fragments or contigs for which you wish to specify a new enzyme.  Select the Specify Restriction Enzymes option from the Window menu and check the Allow changes checkbox.  You can then use the New Enzyme button to create a new enzyme record.  Click the Done button when you are finished.

How do I import features from a GenBank sequence into Sequencher?

Sequencher imports all GenBank features with a defined range, including joined features, as editable features in Sequencher. To import any individual or concatenated sequence into Sequencher, use the IMPORT > SEQUENCES command.
