Importing a region list

A region list in PGS must contain the chromosome, start location, and stop locations as the first three columns, respectively. The chromosome name (or number ) in the region list must be compatible with the genomic annotation for the species if you plan to use any feature (like motif detection) that requires reference sequence information. 

• Import the region list as described above for text files. Select Other for data type. Chromosome name or number should be imported as a text field; location start and stop may be either integer or text. 
• Right-click on the imported spreadsheet in the spreadsheet tree
• Select Properties
• Select List of genomic regions from the Configure Spreadsheet dialog
• Select region in the Add Property drop-down menu and select Add
  
• to add region to the properties
•  

The spreadsheet properties will now include region. If you would like to do any operation that requires looking up hte reference genomic sequence information for the regions based on genomic location, you will need to specify the species for this region list. 

• Right-click on the imported spreadsheet in the spreadsheet tree
• Select Properties
• Select Genomic from the Add Property drop-down menu
• Select Add
• Select your options from the the source Species and Genome Guild drop Build from the drop-down menus
• Select OK

With a few additional options, the region list can be made viewable in the genome browser.
