Uploading a Sequence File

There are two ways to upload a sequence in STNext:

• Clicking the Upload button in the Edit Sequence window
  
  Note: Any edits you make to the sequence file prior to clicking the Upload button are saved.
  
  
  
  
• Clicking the Upload button on the My Files > Structures page

Important: You must open at least one of the following files before uploading a sequence:

• CAS REGISTRY
• GENESEQ (Derwent Patent Sequence Database)
• PATGENE (WIPO Patent Sequence Database)
• USGENE (US Patent Sequence Database)

Note: Prior to uploading and searching sequences in CAS REGISTRY, download and install the CAS Registry BLAST® client. See Using CAS Registry Blast.

2. On the Structures page, click the sequence file's Upload button.
   
   
   
   
3. The sequence uploads to STNext, creating a new L-number. Click the Edit button to modify the sequence data.
