This is helpful if sequences were entered the wrong way round or if potential higher order structure elements should be studied. Select a sequence by positoning the cursor on its name and pressing the left mouse button. Choose the 'Complement' item from the 'ARB_EDIT/EDIT' menu to display the 'COMPLEMENT and REVERSE' window. Define whether the sequence should be reversed, complemented or both by choosing from the menu displayed after pressing the button. Define whether the position of gap symbols should be maintained (default) or the gaps should be removed (press the button). Type left and right positions to the respective subwindows if part of the sequence should be complemented and/or reversed. In this case, press the button. Press or to complement or reverse the sequence from the curent cursor position to the (right) end of the sequence or the (right) end of the last (bottom) edited sequence, respectively. Press or to complement the selected sequence or all edited sequences (independent of the cursor position). NOTES None EXAMPLES None WARNINGS !!! It is recommended to copy the sequence data before performing the operations. Currently there is no way to prevent the export of the modified sequences to the database. Saving the database means saving the complemented sequences. !!!! Deleting gaps takes a lot of time. BUGS No bugs known
