You can import sequence data from multiple file formats such as MSF, ASN.1 and EMBL.
The interface can help you with alignment tasks by using different colors and by enabling you to control the background colors. If you are used to command line tools you can apply the on-screen typing method in the text editor. You can use the mouse for selecting the sequence, sliding it, dropping it to the desired position or removing it from the table. The main goal of the app is to reduce the time required to edit and align sequences and it provides you with multiple methods of manual alignment. The interface of the program is rather complex for a beginner but BioEdit comes with a detailed documentation that allows you to get accustomed with the basic features. It enables you to draw and annotate plasmids manually by marking positions or adding features to the model. The GenBank integration enables you to annotate the sequence by using the selected features field. The program also provides you with access to the NCBI sequence bank in order to download or submit the biological sequences. Most of its features are designed to improve your efficiency and automate certain tasks such as the ClustalW alignment or the Blast searches. It is basically a text editor enhanced with features specific to sequence alignment and manipulation tasks.It can be used in conjunction with BioLign, a tool instrument specially designed to help you with sequence alignments.
BioEdit is designed for the scientists and laboratory technicians that work with biological sequences.
