How can I edit Common Features?
Choose the Common Features List
Click Features → Browse Common Features.
Choose Standard Features or Custom Features via the dropdown menu.
Select a Feature
Select the feature of interest then click Edit....
Edit the Feature
Edit the feature details (Feature type, directionality, translation, color, qualifier metadata, or display prioritization in Maps) then click OK.
Edit CDS Feature Translation Options
To edit CDS feature translation options, click the Feature Translation Options... button.
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 CDS 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.
Edit Multiple Common Features
To simultaneously edit multiple features' color or type, select the features in the list box, click menu Features → Edit Standard/Custom Features, make the appropriate changes then click OK.
