Summary0000128: Question about alignment tool
DescriptionHello,

I am wondering if there is a way for Mega to highlight mismatches after an alignment with ClustalW. Is the only way of finding mutations by manually looking at the alignment? I downloaded the Mega7 Windows version. Thanks,

The website does seem to imply that ratios will be calculated within the program. Perhaps we should modify the website.

Hi Erin,

I am writing in response to your question regarding the MEGA software. You can visualize variable sites by using the Sequence Data Explorer. First, save your alignment to a .meg file. Then open it in MEGA and open the Sequence Data Explorer window. In this window there is an option to highlight variable sites.
