Extract Readings

This function is used to produce copies of readings stored in the assembly database. The readings, and information about them, are written to disk in experiment file format (see section Experiment file format) and will include any edits made and tags created. They are written in their original orientation. No change is made to the copies in the assembly database: this process creates copies and should not be confused with "Disassemble readings".See section Disassemble Readings. The names of the readings to extract can be read from a list or a file of file names. Clicking on the browse button will invoke an appropriate browser dialogue. The files are written into the "Destination directory" with their original file names. If required, the files will include quality and positional information. This means that they will contain numerical estimates of base accuracy and original positions to show where edits have been made (see section Experiment file format explained).
