Displaying motif results

You can display the nucleic acid subsequence search results in a number of ways:

- as a list of the subsequences found

- as a list of the subsequences not found

- as a subsequence map

- as an annotated sequence

- as a list of the sequence sizes found between subsequence occurrences.

One or more of the displays can be generated at the same time. Each display type can be saved to disk or printed when its window is active.

TO DISPLAY subsequence search results

1. The Display dialog box is displayed on completion of each analysis. To display this dialog box at other times, for example to change the display parameters, do one of the following:

- choose Analyze | Nucleic Acid Subsequence when any nucleic acid subsequence display result window is active

- choose Analyze | Protein Subsequence when any protein subsequence display result window is active

2. Select the List sites by check box to display a list of the subsequences found and the locations of the sites.

Use the drop-down menu to choose how to order the list: by name, by position of sites, or by number of sites.

3. Select the List sites not found check box to display a list of the subsequences that were considered in the search but were not found in the sequence.

4. Select the Subsequence map check box to display the locations of the cut sites in a graphical form.

5. Select the Annotated sequence check box to display an annotated sequence display with the sites displayed at their proper locations along the sequence. The appearance of this display can be changed interactively by choosing Options | Format Annotated Display. For more information, see the Format annotated display.

6. Select the Frag predictions check box to display sequence sizes between specified motifs. The motifs used are those which have satisifed the Filter Options.

Use the drop-down menu to choose from the following:

- single for sizes between a single motif

- double for sizes between each pair of motifs

- both for sizes of both the single and double options

- all combined for sizes using up to six selected motifs.

7. Select OK to display the results.
