Sorry if this is the wrong subforum for questions, couldn't figure it out.

I'm trying to write some data from a comma-separated values file into a genbank file (using python) so that I can see the info graphically.

My problem is UGENE doesn't want to display the files, which leads me to the question:

What characters/formating is neccessary for UGENE to recognize and display an annotation from a genbank file?

I guess this question has two parts,
what is required for recognition of a genbank file, and,
what is required for recognition of an individual feature/annotation to be displayed?

Again, I'm really happy with this program! Great work!

UGENE recognizes Genbank files by checking LOCUS header string.

Could I ask you to  share genbank file you use so we can test it?

Ok now I think I understand the problem.

Once you create an annotation  for your sequence UGENE creates an association between annotation table file and sequence file (GObjectRelation in code)

The association is stored in the active project file.

You can create this association manually for any sequence and annotation objects:

1) open a view for a sequence

2) add a file with annotations to the project

3) when the file with annotations is loaded drag&drop annotation table object to the sequence view

If sequence view contains multiple sequences you'll be prompted to select the sequence you want to add annotations to.

If the annotation object contains annotations with locations out of the sequence length range - UGENE will warn you about mapping error.

Once association is added, UGENE stores it in the project file without any affect to the sequence or annotation file.

Check if this work.
