Schema Elements

The Scene is initially empty, and you start by creating a schema on it.

Schema

A schema is a visual representation of the query used to analyze a nucleotide sequence. It consists of elements.

Element

An element of a schema. There are two types of elements: algorithm elements and constraint elements.

Algorithm Element

An element of a schema that represents an algorithm used to analyze a nucleotide sequence.

Constraint Element

An element of a schema used to impose constraints on the results obtained from algorithm elements.

Your first step is to add necessary algorithm elements to the Scene by dragging them to the Palette.

The next step is to add constraints on the algorithm results.

Read the Manipulating Element chapter to learn the details, or check the section below on how to create and run a schema.
