This menu provides commands for adjusting the display of DNA and protein sequences in the grid.
The commands in this menu are:
Show only selected sequences
: To work only in a subset of the sequences in the data set, use the check boxes to select the sequences of interest.Use Identical Symbol
: If this site contains the same nucleotide (amino acid) as appears in the first sequence in the list, this command replaces the nucleotide (amino acid) symbol with a dot (.). If you uncheck this option, the Sequence Data Explorer displays the single letter code for the nucleotide (amino acid).Color Cells
: This option displays the sequences such that consecutive sites with the same nucleotide (amino acid) have the same background color.Select Color: This option changes the color for highlighted sites. It is Yellow by default.
Sort SequencesTaxa Groups dialog box.
: The sequences in the data set can be sorted based on several options: sequence names, group names, group and sequence names, or as per the order in the Select/EditRestore input order
: This option resets any changes in the order of the displayed sequences (due to sorting, etc.) back to that in the input data file.Show Sequence Name
: The name of the sequences can be displayed or hidden by checking or unchecking this option. If the sequences have been grouped , then unchecking this option causes only the group name to be retained. If no groups have been made, then no name is displayed.Show Group Nametaxa have been categorized into groups.
