Start annotating 7 This is where you annotate the name of the gene This is where you specify the position of the gene This is where you specify the colour of the gene to colour code it: 0 white ; 1 dark grey ; 2 red; 3 green ; 4 blue ; 5 cyan ; 6 magenta ; 7 yellow ; 8 pale green ; 9 light sky blue; 10 orange ; 11 brown ; 12 pale pink ; 13 light grey ; 14 black ; 15 mid red; 16 light red; 17 pink. For more info: Click on this if the gene is located on the reverse frame

Example: annotating on the reverse frame 8 Forward frame annotations will be on top of the scale Reverse frame annotations will be at the bottom of the scale.
