Import features

This guide will walk you through the process of importing features/annotations to Apollo3 using GFF3 file.

There are two ways to import features to Apollo3:

• Follow steps mentioned in Upload assembly guide to upload the GFF3 file containing features and sequence.
• Use the Import features button in the Apollo dropdown from top navigation bar to import features to an existing assembly.

In the guide below, we will walk you through the process of importing features to an existing assembly.

1. Navigate to the Apollo3 and log in to your account.
2. Click on the Import features button under the Apollo dropdown from top navigation bar.

3. In the import features dialog, select the assembly to which you want to import the features and click on the Choose file button to select the GFF3 file containing features.
4. If the features were already imported to the assembly, you have option to delete exiting features and import the new features by selecting the Yes, delete existing features checkbox.

5. Click on the Submit button to start the import process. We can see the progress of the import in the Jobs list widget and once the import is complete we get a success message.

Now we should be able to see the imported features in the apollo track and can start annotating the genome.
