Read an entry for this sequence, but keep it separate from the others. See the section called The "Entry" in Chapter 1 to see what we mean when we say "entry". The new entry will be marked as active (see the section called The Active Entries in Chapter 1) and will be the new default entry (see the section called The Default Entry in Chapter 1).
This function only reads the feature section of the input file - the sequence (if any) is ignored.
ACT can read these feature files formats:
The output of MSPcrunch. MSPcrunch must be run with the -x or -d flags.
The output of blastall version 2.2.2 or better. blastall must be run with the -m 8 flag which generates one line of information per HSP. Note that currently ACT displays each Blast HSP is a separate feature rather than displaying each BLAST hit as a feature.
Save the entry to the file it came from, unless the entry has been given a new name, in which case the entry is saved to a file with that name. If the entry has no name, ACT will prompt the user for a new name.
Save all the entries that have been loaded on top of this sequence.
Open an Artemis edit window for this sequence and features. All changes made in the Artemis window will be immediately visible in the ACT window and vice versa.
