Product walkthrough
This walkthrough uses existing RayCrest MDS screenshots to show what goes in, what decision you make, and what comes out. It works as a complete reading sequence without JavaScript.
Step 1 · Open
Open a supported GenBank, FASTA, or SnapGene .dna file and confirm the sequence and annotations you intend to work from.
Input: a supported DNA sequence file. Decision: confirm the record is the intended starting construct.
Import documentation
Step 2 · Edit
Edit at base level while features, restriction sites, codons, and amino-acid context remain visible around the active selection.
Input: the open construct. Output: an edited construct ready for experimental planning.
Sequence-editing documentation
Step 3 · Prepare
Use the selected region to design primers, compare candidates, inspect diagnostic flags, and keep the pair you trust.
Input: an active target region. Decision: select a primer pair after reviewing candidate properties.
Primer-design documentation
Step 4 · Verify
Import Sanger traces or a FASTQ run, inspect the aligned evidence, and review the base call in construct context. Sanger and FASTQ cannot be mixed in one import selection.
Input: AB1/ABI traces or FASTQ reads. Decision: accept or investigate a mismatch using the displayed evidence.
Sequencing-review documentation
Step 5 · Present
Choose the map view and layers that communicate the result, then export the current map as the documented image, vector, or presentation output.
Input: the reviewed construct. Output: a focused map for a report, handoff, or presentation.
