  2. Click the Import Sequences control in the toolbar or select the option from the Sequences menu.
  1. Drag and drop your .fasta, .fastq, or other similarly-formatted file into the dialog provided, or use the Select File button to browse your file system for your formatted file.

Numbering is automatically assigned for use in SEQ ID NO labels. Sequences can be reordered in the Sequences Manager to adjust numbering as desired.
