A file must be uploaded before you can use this functionality:
- Enter a `.gb` file in the `Seqfile` field (must be in GENBANK format).
- Click `Save`
- Come back to the `Edit` page of the plasmid
- Click `Update sequence from `.gb` file.
- Click `Update sequence from .gb file`.
- The `Sequence` field of the plasmid now contains the sequence contained in the provided `.gb` file.
**Users can retrieve plasmids using a query sequence.** For this, go to the BLAST item of the menu, select `plasmids` in response to 'what do you want to search' and enter a query sequence in the text box. By default, the page expects your query to be nucleotidic and the program is `blastn`. If your query sequence is a peptide, you can select the program and task `tblastn`.
