scan for features

[jobabi]

It would be cool to have a (Sequence) database of important features and to include a scan option for these features.

E.g. if you have a new plasmids without feature annotations, you may press the scan for feature button to search for features (from a database like the DMA Ladders?) and marked them in the sequence map. Ideally this database could be expanded like adding a new DNA ladder.

Thank you & best wishes

Hi @jobabi

If you are used to python there is https://github.com/barricklab/pLannotate which does the trick but of course if such a feature would be included in OVE that would make the workflow easier.

@MarcelBolten @jobabi there is actually an auto-annotate feature "add-on" to OVE that sounds a lot like what you're wanting:

You can try that functionality out here - https://teselagen.github.io/openVectorEditor/#/Editor?searchInput=autoano&withAutoAnnotateAddon=true&withGetCustomAutoAnnotateList=true

Let me know if this is what you were looking to do.

Nice add-on. It does what I would expect. For eLabFTW there is no plan to add any edit functionality soon. But maybe in the future.

Thank you for the hint. I did not see the "autoAnnotateAddon". That is pretty cool and that what I was looking for.
