Direct addition of non-scaffolded sequence data to ENSnano File #38

Open dfajita opened 1 year ago

I understand that the GUI does not currently support this, but is it possible to write sequence data directly to the ENSnano file? Just only if possible, could you please tell us how to directly write data to "strands" > i > "domains" > "HelixDomain" > "sequence”?

I have found the following statement in your documentation. So we will wait for the release of a new version if directly written data is not reflected in the export staples function.

We are currently working on an interface to set the sequences for the parts of the design which are not matched with a scaffold.

Hello, Unfortunately, it is currently not possible for ENSnano to generate sequences for design that are not scaffolded origamis. The sequence fields in Strand and HelixDomain objects are not really used at the moment.

Thanks for your information. I will look forward to seeing the feature implemented in a new version!
