Run the Feature Detection

Feature detection allows you to detect and annotate common features within your sequence. To get started navigate to the “Features” tab in the top banner. Find the “Detect common” button. Once clicked this will trigger the feature detection a small loading bar will display below the sequence to indicate progress.

Feature Selection Modal

Once detection is complete the “Features detected” modal will open with a preview of the labelled plasmid and a list of detected features. At the top you can see the total number of features detected and have the option to display the overlap of detected features with existing features in the sequence file.

By using the checkboxes next to the feature names, you can choose which feature labels you would like to include in your new plasmid. If you toggle on “Show overlap with existing features” you can also choose to remove these by unselecting the checkbox. Once you have made your final selection and can see the correct result in the preview, use the “Save” button at the bottom right of the modal to save the detected features to the file.
