How To Merge Multiple Annotated Artemis Files?
I am annotating a bacteria genome in separate Artemis files. Is it possible to merge all these annotated files? I'd like to have the same annotations in a new sequence version but don't want to go over the whole tedious and delicate manual annotation procedures again. Is there some sort of program I can do this with, especially on a Windows systems? Thanks.

"Artemis files", what kind of file is it ? What does it look like ? is it GFF ? XML ? TSV ? etc...
EMBL and GFF format
It's like many sequences with corresponding annotation in EMBL format
Zhenyu, I added the link to Artemis, please check whether that is what you meant.
Zhenyu, I may be wrong, but don't you just have to concatenate all the files ?
@Pierre I thought so too, but it has been 6 years since I last used Artemis
Hi Pierre, you are right. I wanna concatenate the annotated files. At the moment, not all of them, but i can do with some of them.
Hi Chris, i am not sure what the link means.
@Chris, thanks. I see the link now.
Artemis does not output valid EMBL files. It calls them TAB files. It is essentially the FT and SQ parts of the EMBL spec, but does not include a valid header so most EMBL importing programs won't parse it.
I assume you have broken your chromosome into smaller sequences (eg. 100kb) and annotated them, and now want to join them in a specific order to reconstruct the annotate chromosome?
