Specify
Target Taxon
Once a suitable
database has been constructed, the next step is to identify the
phylogentic grouping the eventual
oligonucleotides should exclusively target. Normally this
will be a monophyletic grouping of some sort (e.g., genus, family,
class or other such taxon).
1) Click '
Specify Target Taxon' on the main window. The sequence database you
have created should again be displayed. Locate the sequence
records that form the target group you are
interested in. Mark these records as
targets (identified by an
icon), by left-mouse clicking
(Windows, Linux) or mouse click + Ctrl
(Apple OsX), on each
record separately, or as a group. Records can be deselected as
targets by the same procedure.
2) Once you have made your selection, click
Accept
button. At least
one record should be selected as a target for the program to
continue. '
Reset'
cancels all selections made, whilst '
Cancel'
returns the program to the main panel without instigating any changes.
