To allow the detection of a translated feature regardless of the codons used, check the Detect either an exact protein match or an approximate DNA match check box.
When searching for "Common features" on a target sequence, SnapGene will first try to find an exact "protein match" for translated features in the Common Features database.
If "protein match" fails then SnapGene tries a DNA search using the DNA match threshold - see Detect Common Features.
