For target sequence matching experiments, you can add, delete, or edit sequences using the Sequences Added to Experiment and Global Sequence Reference tables as necessary. See Identification page tables.

Add a new sequence to the Global Sequence Reference table

Procedure

  1. Select New next to the Global Sequence Reference table.
  2. The appropriate Sequence Editor opens.
  3. In the appropriate Sequence Editor, import a FASTA file containing a new sequence of interest or manually enter the sequence and assign the Category as "Intact Protein" (for proteins) or "Intact Deconvolution" (for oligonucleotides).
  4. See the following topics:
  5. Import a FASTA file containing a protein sequence or Import a FASTA file containing an oligonucleotide sequence
  6. Manually create a new protein sequence or Manually create a new oligonucleotide sequence
  7. Assigning modifications to a protein sequence (for proteins) or Assign variable modifications (for oligonucleotides)
  8. Select the experiment category for a sequence
  9. Save the sequence and close the Sequence Editor.
  10. See Save a protein or peptide sequence or Save an oligonucleotide sequence.
  11. The sequence is added to the Global Sequence Reference table.

Edit an existing sequence in the Global Sequence Reference table

Procedure

  1. Select the sequence row in the Global Sequence Reference table.
  2. Select Edit next to the Global Sequence Reference table.
  3. The appropriate Sequence Editor opens and displays the sequence information.
  4. In the Sequence Editor, edit the sequence information as necessary.
  5. Save the sequence and close the Sequence Editor.
  6. The sequence is updated in the Global Sequence Reference table.

Delete a sequence from the Global Sequence Reference table

Procedure

  1. Select the sequence row in the Global Sequence Reference table.
  2. Select Delete next to the Global Sequence Reference table.
  3. A confirmation dialog box appears.
  4. Select OK to delete the sequence.
  5. The deleted sequence is removed from the Global Sequence Table.

Add a sequence from the Global Sequence Reference table to the experiment

Procedure

  1. Select the sequence row in the Global Sequence Reference table.
  2. Select Add to Experiment next to the Global Sequence Reference table.
  3. The sequence is added to the Sequences Added to Experiment table.

Edit a sequence after adding it to the experiment

Procedure

  1. Select the sequence row in the Sequences Added to Experiment table.
  2. Select Remove next to the Sequences Added to Experiment table.
  3. Then, select the sequence row in the Global Sequence Reference table, select Edit, edit the sequence information as necessary using the appropriate Sequence Editor, save the sequence, and re-add the sequence to the experiment.
  4. The edited sequence is re-added to the experiment.

Remove a sequence from the experiment

Procedure

  1. Select the sequence row in the Sequences Added to Experiment table.
  2. Select Remove next to the Sequences Added to Experiment table.
  3. The sequence is removed from the Sequences Added to Experiment table.

Display the full sequence added to the experiment

Procedure

  1. Select the sequence row in the Sequences Added to Experiment table.
  2. Select Show Details next to the Sequences Added to Experiment table.
  3. The application displays the entire sequence in a dialog box.
  4. Full protein sequence displayed in the Show Details dialog box
    Full protein sequence displayed in the Show Details dialog box
