  • Sequence Revision Data Synching

  • Now What?

Insertion from the Right-Hand Sidebar

  1. Make sure your cursor is at the desired insertion point in your claims or specification.
    ​
    ​

  2. Click the helix icon to expand the Sequences panel in the right-hand sidebar.
    ​
    ​


    ​
    ​If you do not see the helix icon in the right-hand sidebar, you can request access.
    ​
    ​

  3. Click the SEQ # to insert the sequence identifier label as a tagged data object.
    ​
    ​


    ​

  4. Click the nickname to insert the sequence nickname as a tagged data object.
    ​
    ​


    ​

  5. Click the Insert Sequence arrow to insert the full sequence composition as an auto-synchronized data object.
    ​
    ​


    ​

Include a Sequence Table

  1. Make sure your cursor is at the desired insertion point in your claims or specification.
    ​
    ​

  2. Click the helix icon to expand the Sequencess panel in the right-hand sidebar.
    ​
    ​


    ​
    ​If you do not see the helix icon in the right-hand sidebar, you can request access.
    ​
    ​

  3. Click the Sequences Table option to insert the sequences table at your cursor location.
    ​
    ​

  4. A table containing populated columns with the name, residues, and SEQ ID # for each sequence will be inserted at your cursor location.
    ​
    ​


    ​
    ​Note that we recommend you only insert this table after you've ensured your compounds are ordered and described as desired. But if you need to make changes after you've inserted the table, it's easy to delete and reinsert it.

SEQ ID NO Autocompletion as You Type

  1. Type "seq#", where # is the identifying number for the existing sequence you wish to reference, followed by a space.
    ​
    E.g., to insert the "SEQ ID NO: 1", type "seq1" and hit space. The typed "seq1" text will be replaced by the tagged "SEQ ID NO: 1" data object.
    ​
    ​


    ​

OR
​

  1. Begin typing the desired sequence identifier.
    ​
    ​

  2. Select from among the sequence identifiers in the auto-complete menu presented
    ​
    ​


    ​
    OR
    ​
    When you type the space following "seq", the text will be replaced by "SEQ ID NO: ", and you may type the desired number followed by another space.
    ​
    ​

  3. The selected identifier will be inserted as a tagged data object.
    ​
    ​

Nickname Autocompletion as You Type

  1. Begin typing the desired nickname.
    ​
    ​

  2. Select from among the matching nicknames in the auto-complete menu presented
    ​
    ​


    ​
    OR
    ​
    Finish typing the nickname and hit space.
    ​
    ​

  3. The nickname will be inserted as a tagged data object.
    ​
    ​

Sequence Revision Data Synching

Note that all changes made using the Sequences Manager are automatically reflected across your entire application.

  1. If you type a change to the auto-synched sequence composition data in your application, the data will be highlighted as out of sync with the Sequences Manager data.
    ​
    ​


    ​

  2. The menu provided while your cursor is within the auto-synched text will allow you to:
    ​

    1. Re-Sync from the Sequences Manager, undoing your change
      ​

    2. Sync edits to the Sequences Manager, storing your updates and reflecting them across your application
      ​

    3. Leave the text as is and ignore synchronization going forward, untagging your text, or
      ​

    4. Delete the synched text, removing your text altogether.

Now What?

Before you export for filing, you can use the Consistency Review tool to confirm you've supported your novel sequences in your application.
