Figure 3-1 An empty Sequencher Project Window
Until you create or import sequence fragments, the new project will remain empty. As
you add sequences to your project and build contigs from them, the Project Window
begins to look more like Figure 3-2.
Figure 3-2 A new project
All the sequences and contigs added to this particular sequencing project are displayed in
this window.
Note: If you have so many open windows on the screen that it’s difficult to find the
Project Window, go to the Window menu and click on Project Window. This will bring
the current project to the front.
As you work, if you close an existing project and then want to start a new project, go to
the File menu and choose New Project. Sequencher will open a new untitled project.
Sequencher will remember the last projects you opened. You can see these as a list by
going to the File menu and selecting the Open Recent command.
Opening an existing project
To open an existing project, go to the File menu and choose Open Project to select the
project you want to work with. Click the Open button in the lower right area of the dialog
box, or click the Return key.
