Groups

Different sequence elements may be combined to create a Group. This is a single functional unit that can be moved as if it were a single element, whilst retaining information about the component parts.
A Group can be created by
- Selecting two or more adjacent icons in the Navigation Pane or the Workspace Pane
A group can be a mixture of different types of elements
- Examples of elements that may be helpful to group include
  - a promoter, an operator and a ribosome binding site
  - a protease cleavage site and an affinity tag
  - an antibiotic resistance gene and an origin of replication
- Groups are visualized by sequence elements that are encompassed by a bracket, both in the hierarchical tree (label) and the icon view.
