Import Feature Data

Open the file that will receive the imported features.

In this example, the destination file has no features. If the destination file already has features, SnapGene will not duplicate existing features by default, but will offer the option of importing duplicate features.

To specify the source file, click Features → Import Features from... . You can import features from SnapGene, BED, GFF3 or GTF files types.

In the Import Features from... dialog, choose a source file that has the desired feature annotations, then click OK.

A second dialog will list the features that are to be imported. If desired, click the check box at the lower left to make the list more compact.

The Add column indicates which features will be imported. To change the default choices, click the relevant check boxes, then click Add [N] Features.

The imported features will be added to the destination file.
