To merge files
You use the Merge files option to merge multiple .fasta or .fastq files into a single .fasta or .fastq file.
1. In the Input pane, click Add to browse to and select a file that is to be included in the merged file. Repeat this step as needed to all the files that are to be merged into a single file.
2. In the Output field, you can leave the default value for the location of the output files as is (the default value is the directory path for the first data file added), or you can click Set to select a different location.
 | The default file name is merged.fasta. You can modify this name, if needed, but you must leave the extension as .fasta. |
3. Optionally, before you process the files, click Save to save the settings that you have specified to a Settings file (.ini file).
| | You can always load this file at a later date and process other data files according to the saved settings in the file. |
4. Click OK.
A message opens when the process is completed.
