I read in the artemis manual about the "feature keys 'fasta_record' or 
'contig'" (which are) "create when a multiple fasta sequence file is read in".

Indeed this works - I am able to load such a fasta file holding multiple 300 
contigs generated by an assembly.

However, I find that when I load extenrally generated blast results where the 
subject (or query) sequences are the same contigs, the blast table (-m 8) when 
loaded into Artemis are not (re)interpreted with respect to the appropriate 
contig.

Similarly, if I load externally generated GFF features (i.e. output from 
exonerate and fgenesh) that have the my same contig identifiers in column 1, 
they are not applied to the corresponding contig, but rather to what appears to 
be a single entry gained by linearizing/concatenatig the individual reads.

Is there some way I should be using Artemis to allow loading multiple contigs 
and corresponding annotation of each contigs for simultaneous visualization?

Perhaps I should rather be loading a Chado database and performing annotation 
against it?

Andy advice in using Artemis toward my end of allowing manual curation of 
annotation of upwards of 300 contigs would be welcome.

Thanks!
