Importing other files

  • Create a new workspace (File->New)
../../_images/new.png
  • Download the data files
  • Import the alignment with the refrence (File->Import Alignment (XMFA & Fasta))
../../_images/xmfa.png
  • The track highlighted in blue (“england.gbk.fna.srt”) is the current reference for variants. Select a new reference by right-clicking on a track.
../../_images/reref.png
  • Next, import the phylogenetic tree (File->Import tree (Newick))
../../_images/tree.png
  • Reroot the tree at the midpoint (Tree->Reroot at midpoint)
../../_images/reroot.png
  • The tree will now be balanced at the center of the longest path
../../_images/rerooted.png
  • Finally, import the annotations (File->Import annotations (Genbank))
../../_images/annotated.png
  • The workspace can be saved to share or return to later (File->Save)
