Vectors List

The Vectors list is part of the Library Explorer, where vectors can be stored.

Vectors are organized within folders.
- The list is pre-loaded with a set of vectors.
New folders can be created by selecting “add new folder / group” from the “Add” button at the bottom of the Library Explorer.
- If another folder is selected, the new folder will be added within it.
A folder may be moved within the list by selecting the icon and dragging it to a new position.

A vector may be added to the Vectors list by
- dragging the icon of an existing vector from the Workspace Pane or the Navigation Pane.
- dragging a fasta file for a vector from elsewhere on your computer.
- dragging a genbank file for a vector from elsewhere on your computer.
A vector may be deleted from the list by selecting it and clicking on the “delete” button at the bottom of the Library Explorer.
A vector name and notes may be edited by
- selecting it and clicking on the “edit” button at the bottom of the Library Explorer.
- double clicking on it.
A vector sequence can only be edited by dragging it into the Construct Editor, and editing in that window.

Preloaded vectors may be updated from time to time with new versions of GeneDesigner. They therefore differ from user-added vectors in the following ways:

Moving a pre-loaded vector or folder of vectors will automatically create a copy of the vector / folder.
- When sequences are updated, only the vectors / folders in their original locations will be updated.
