You’ll now see a
series of pull down menus that ask you to define your columns correctly.
There are three required columns, chromosome number and the start and end
locations. These are usually detected and selected for you. There are also
two other columns you can select. Our strand column is “4” and the
“Name/Identifier” column is “5.” We will check these boxes, change the
numbers to that in the pull down menus and click “Save”.
