## OCCURRENCE

### ARB_NT/Species/Info/SPECIES/Rename

### ARB_NT/Genes/Info/SPECIES/Rename

## DESCRIPTION

### Renames a 'species/gene' (see ´Glossary´) entry.

### Choose the 'Rename' item from the 'SPECIES/GENE' menu to display the 'SPECIES/GENE RENAME' window. Type a name to this window and press <GO>

## NOTES

### In case of renaming SPECIES you'll be asked whether you want to recreate the species ID. In case you have added a new species manually, we recommend doing so.

### If you choose to recreate the species ID, the ARB nameserver will be asked to forget any previously assigned ID and will really create a new ID from scratch. Therefore you will have to call 'Species/Synchronize IDs' in all databases that also contain the species.

### If you are sure that the species only occurs in the current database, you may recreate the species ID without any further action.

### To change the name of 'species/gene' entries, a protection level equal or higher than that assigned to this entry has to be set on the 'ARB_NT' window.
