| 12 | TITLE Determine sequence changes between different databases |
|---|
| 13 | |
|---|
| 14 | OCCURRENCE ARB_MERGE/Transfer Species/Source->Target/Compare a field of listed species... |
|---|
| 15 | |
|---|
| 16 | DESCRIPTION Compares contents of a field (selected to compare) between same species in |
|---|
| 17 | both databases. Information about found differences will be stored in |
|---|
| 18 | the selected report field in both databases. |
|---|
| 19 | |
|---|
| 20 | Only species listed in the left hitlist of the 'TRANSFER SPECIES' window |
|---|
| 21 | are examined. |
|---|
| 22 | |
|---|
| 23 | If no differences are detected, the selected report field will be deleted |
|---|
| 24 | from the species. |
|---|
| 25 | |
|---|
| 26 | Comparison can be customized by the following parameters: |
|---|
| 27 | |
|---|
| 28 | * tag/subfield |
|---|
| 29 | |
|---|
| 30 | If a tag is specified, only the content belonging to that tag will |
|---|
| 31 | be considered for comparison (see LINK{tags.hlp} for information about tagging). |
|---|
| 32 | |
|---|
| 33 | * ignore characters |
|---|
| 34 | |
|---|
| 35 | When specified, the contents of the field are modified before comparison, i.e. the |
|---|
| 36 | given characters are removed from the contents. |
|---|
| 37 | Nevertheless, the position(s) written to the report field are independant of |
|---|
| 38 | ignored characters, i.e. they are absolute (sequence) positions. |
|---|
| 39 | |
|---|
| 40 | * ignore case |
|---|
| 41 | |
|---|
| 42 | When checked case differences are ignored. |
|---|
| 43 | |
|---|
| 44 | If 'Try to correct field in target DB' is checked, ARB will accept and correct |
|---|
| 45 | single(!) insertions, deletions and substitutions in the sequence data of the |
|---|
| 46 | target database. |
|---|
| 47 | A minimum amount of 10 matching bases is required between two distinct corrections, |
|---|
| 48 | otherwise the correction will be canceled (and diff-info will be written to report field). |
|---|
| 49 | Successful corrections are indicated by marking the affected species in the target database. |
|---|
| 50 | |
|---|
| 51 | NOTES This function has been designed to determine sequence changes between different database(s) (versions). |
|---|
| 52 | Using it for other data fields works. |
|---|
| 53 | |
|---|
| 54 | EXAMPLES None |
|---|
| 55 | |
|---|
| 56 | WARNINGS Be careful: Select only report fields, that don't contain any data (it will be deleted)! |
