# What is the sequence editor tool in SciNote?

## The sequence editor tool in SciNote is an integration of the open-source version of the Open Vector Editor (OVE) developed by Teselagen Biotechnology.

The SciNote Sequence Editor is a molecular biology add-on that allows users to visualize, edit, and manipulate genomic sequence files directly within SciNote. 

You can create a new sequence file or import .dna, .fasta, .gb, and .json files

The Sequence Editor can be accessed from the Protocol section or the Results section within any Task in SciNote.

 

**To access the tool from the Protocol section:**

1. Open a Task and navigate to the protocol section.
2. Create a new Step if there isn't one already there.
3. Click on '**Insert content**', select '**File**', and then select '**New sequence**'.

4. This will open the sequence editor tool in SciNote.

**To access the tool from the Results section:**

1. Open a Task and navigate to the Results section.
2. Add a new Result.
3. Click on '**Insert content**', select '**File**', and then select '**New sequence**'.[![SeqEditor\_Result](https://knowledgebase.scinote.net/hs-fs/hubfs/KB%20article%20screenshots/SeqEditor_Result.png?width=634&height=500&name=SeqEditor_Result.png)](https://knowledgebase.scinote.net/hubfs/KB%20article%20screenshots/SeqEditor_Result.png?hsLang=en)
4. This will open the sequence editor tool in SciNote.

 

Once you have completed working on your sequence, click 'Save' and all your changes will be saved to the file created in the Protocol or Results section of the Task within SciNote. 

You can also export your sequence file and download it to share outside of SciNote. The file can be exported in the following formats:

- - .json
    - .fasta
    - .gb

 

The Sequence Editor includes the following key features:

- Plasmid visualization
- Primer design
- PCR simulation
- Restriction digestion simulation

For a complete list of features, refer to the detailed walkthrough video below.
