Element Direction in Schema

For some algorithm elements (e.g. ORF), the Direction parameter is available in the Property Editor. It specifies the direction of the current element relative to other elements in the schema and can take the following values:

  • Direct — specifies searching the results for the element on the current strand.
  • Forward — specifies searching the results for the element on the reverse complementary strand.
  • Any — the results for the element are searched in both strands.

Notice that an element changes its appearance on the Scene when different values are selected:

Example 1:

Create the following schema:

  1. The Smith-Waterman algorithm element with AAG pattern and the Forward direction.
  2. The Smith-Waterman element with CGG pattern and the Backward direction.
  3. Add a constraint to these elements.
  4. Run the schema for a sequence.

By default, if the Query Sequence Mode hasn’t been modified, the following results will be found:
