Add reference genome sequence

Using the admin web frontend, a reference genome sequence can be added to a dataset by

1. Clicking the icon to the left of the label “Reference genome”, under the tree branch that represents the dataset.
2. Click the button “Reference genome” in the popup.

A dialog box appears that allows one to pick a FASTA sequence file from the local computer, and upload it to the Panoptes server as a source file for the reference genome sequence.

• Click “Choose file” to select the local file that contains the reference genome sequence.
• Click “Create reference genome” to define this file as the source of the reference genome sequence.
