You can choose a set of subsequences to use for a search. This may be useful, for example, when you want to restrict your search to particular functional patterns.
TO SELECT a subset of subsequences
1. Open the required subsequence file, and ensure that the file window is active.
2. If the file is locked, unlock it by toggling the lock button.
3. Scroll through the subsequence list to find the name of each subsequence you want to select.
TIP: You can navigate through the list by typing the first character of the subsequence, or by using the up and down arrows on the keyboard.
4. Click in front of each required name.
A check mark appears and a line at the bottom of the window indicates how many subsequences have been selected.
Use the clear selection button to deselect all selected entries.
5. If you now save the file to disk, using File | Save, your selections will be saved and you will not have to repeat the selection process every time you open this file.
NOTE: When you perform a search, you may use either all entries in the subsequence file, or just those subsequences selected.
TIP: If you save the changes using File | Save As, you can save different selection subsets.
