Hi everyone. I hope this is a quick fix that I am just overlooking, but I need to edit the sequence ID for my sqn file in NCBI Genome Workbench. I cannot figure out where the program is getting the title from or I would edit it outside of Genome Workbench. Since this same sequence ID is being generated from all of my files originating from the same annotation software I am suspecting this may be either identical IDs generated by the software or lack of an ID that Genome Workbench is putting as a default. . The editing package is active and I can edit other parts of my file. I just can't find the option for this. Thanks in advance!
Update: I was able to edit the sqn file in VIM. Not sure why I didn't think about this earlier. The annotation software did indeed put a strange sequence ID (this was not a lack of ID as I thought previously) so I found it and replaced it. I will be using this method for now but if anyone knows how to edit the ID in genome workbench so I do not need to use two programs I'd still greatly appreciate the info!
Have you tried to edit the header of the fasta file you are using? While I don't know NCBI genome workbench specifically it is likely getting that ID from the file name/fasta header. You can experiment with an example file.
Thanks for the suggestion! I double checked my files and the original fasta file I am using for submission into the annotation software has the desired header. The fasta file that was generated by the program containing the annotations also had the correct one. I even searched this file and the odd sequence ID is nowhere to be found. I am leaning more toward this being an issue of no ID within my sqn file now.
