rename <entity type> <other arguments>

    The 'rename' command is used to rename entities.  The type of entity to

    rename is determined by the '<entity type>' argument.  The '<other

    arguments>' are determined by the entity type.  For project records, the

    '<other arguments>' are generally the name of the record to rename followed

    by the new name for the record.  For example, running 'rename amplicon

    "Amp1" "Amp2"' will rename the amplicon named "Amp1" to "Amp2".

    The following entities are available for renaming.  Run

    'help rename <entity type>' for more detailed information.

    amplicon        Renames an amplicon in the currently open project.

    mid             Renames an MID in the currently open project.

    midGroup        Renames an MID group in the currently open project.

    multiplexer     Renames a multiplexer  in the currently open project.

    project         Renames the currently open project.

    readData        Renames a read data in the currently open project.

    readGroup       Renames a read group in the currently open project.

    reference       Renames a reference sequence in the currently open project.

    sample          Renames a sample in the currently open project.

    variant         Renames a variant in the currently open project.

    rename amp[licon] <name> <new name> [-ofRef <reference sequence name>]

                                        [-file <file> [-format <format>]]

    rename amp[licon] -name <name>

                      -newName <new name>

                      [-ofRef <reference sequence name>]

                      [-file <file> [-format <format>]]

    Renames an amplicon.  Amplicons are allowed to have duplicate names as long

    as the reference sequences to which they refer are distinct.  The '-ofRef'

    argument can be used to refer to such amplicons.  For example, if we have

    two amplicons named "MyAmp", but one of them refers to "ReferenceSequence1"

    and the other to "ReferenceSequence2", we can use the '-ofRef' option to

    distinguish them.  We can run 'rename amplicon "MyAmp" "MyAmp2" -ofRef

    "ReferenceSequence1"' to rename the former amplicon.

    Instead of using arguments to specify the name and new name, the '-name'

    and '-newName' options can be used.  This is useful when running this as a

    tabular command.  Run 'help general tabularCommands' for information about

    tabular commands and the '-file' option.

    rename mid <name> <new name> [-ofMidGroup <midGroup>]

                                 [-file <file> [-format <format>]]

    rename mid -name <name>

               -newName <new name>

               [-ofMidGroup <midGroup>]

               [-file <file> [-format <format>]]

    Renames an MID. MIDs are allowed to have duplicate names as long as they 

    belong to distinct MID groups.  The '-ofMidGroup' argument can be used to 

    refer to such MIDs.  For example, if we have two MIDs named "MyMID", but 

    one of them is a member of MID group "MID_Group1" and the other is a

    member of MID group "MID_Group2", we can use the '-ofMidGroup' option to 

    distinguish them.  We can run:

           rename mid "MyMID" "MyMid2" -ofMidGroup "MID_Group1"

    to update the former MID.

    Instead of using arguments to specify the name and new name, the '-name'

    and '-newName' options can be used.  This is useful when running this as a

    tabular command.  Run 'help general tabularCommands' for information about

    tabular commands and the '-file' option.

                    [-file <file> [-format <format>]]

    Renames an MID group.

                     [-file <file> [-format <format>]]

    Renames an variant.  Variants are allowed to have duplicate names as long

    as the reference sequences to which they refer are distinct.  The '-ofRef'

    argument can be used to refer to such variants.  For example, if we have

    two variants named "MyVar", but one of them refers to "ReferenceSequence1"

    and the other to "ReferenceSequence2", we can use the '-ofRef' option to

    distinguish them.  We can run 'update variant "MyVar" -ofRef

    "ReferenceSequence1"' to update the former variant.
