The History tab of the single sequence editor lists several MacVector-specific features relating to the editing history of the sequence.
These features contain additional information such as the date of the operation, the name of the user who performed it and additional sequence information. Although currently only a few edit operations are displayed eventually all MacVector sequence modifications will write out this information allowing the full history of any construct to be determined and even allowing a simple reversion of the construct to how it existed on a specific date.
The history tab may be sorted according to the user and date as well as the usual sort columns.
The following edit operations either create a feature to store the action, username and timestamp of the edit operation, or add a /Action qualifier to the existing feature to store this information.
Note: Source features are a standard Genbank feature and do not include timestamp or user.
Unlike all other annotation/features EDIT and FRAG features do not use standard Genbank nomenclature. However, if you need to export your sequence as a "pure" Genbank you can use FILE | EXPORT | Genbank Flat (strict). This will remove all non standard terms and export a file that is 100% compliant with the Genbank specification.
