Do you need a quick way to annotate features on a similar set of sequences for your GenBank submission? You can now submit sequences from the same region or gene in an alignment format in BankIt and use the new ‘Feature propagation option’ (Figure 1) to apply features from a single sequence to other aligned sequences. You simply annotate one sequence and then copy that annotation across all the sequences in your submission.
Here’s how you can propagate features in three easy steps:
- Provide nucleotide sequences in an alignment format.
- Select a sequence and annotate it.
- Propagate the features and edit results.
