Most of the items in this menu are used to read and write entries and parts of entries, the exceptions are Clone and Close.
Read an entry, but keep it separate from the others. A new button will be created on the entry button line for the new 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).
Read the features from a tab file (see the section called "Tab" Files or "Table" Files in Chapter 1) chosen by the user and then insert them in order into the entry selected by the user.
Make a new main window with the same contents as the current window. All changes in the old window will be reflected in the new window, and vice versa. The exception to this rule is the selection (see the section called The Selection in Chapter 1), which is not shared between the old and new window.
Save the default 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.
This item will do the same as "Save Default Entry" for the chosen entry.
This sub-menu contains the less frequently used save functions.
Ask for the name of file to save the given entry to. The name of entry (as displayed in the entry button line) will change to the new name.
This does the same as "Save An Entry As -> New File ...", but will write the features and sequence of the entry in EMBL format. Note that currently the header of a GENBANK entry can't be converted to the equivalent EMBL header (it will be discarded instead).
This does the same as "Save An Entry As -> New File ...", but will write the features and sequence of the entry in GENBANK format. Note that currently the header of a EMBL entry can't be converted to the equivalent GENBANK header (it will be discarded instead).
Writes the features in GFF format and sequence of the entry in FASTA format to a file selected by the user. Note that if you use this function on an EMBL or GENBANK entry the header will discarded.
This does the same as "Save An Entry As -> EMBL Format ...", but will write an entry/tab file that contains only valid EMBL qualifiers (see the section called extra_qualifiers in Chapter 4) and valid EMBL keys (see the section called extra_keys in Chapter 4). It will also check that the start and stop codons of each CDS are sensible, that no two features have the same key and location and that all required EMBL features are present.
This acts like "Save Default Entry", but save all the entries.
