Main Interface
1. Menu bar 3. Sequence names
2. Tool Bar / Speed Button 4. Sequence detail
3 4
Select / Slide mode: Select residues by boxing
them with the mouse
Edit mode: You may place the cursor
anywhere in the document
(except the titles) and type with
processor: insert and overwrite
Grab & Drag mode: Grab and drag a single residue
dynamically on the screen. Use
the shift key to move the entire
sequence downstream of the
residue
Lock and unlock all gaps in the entire alignment
Locked state of above button
When down, allows you to insert single gaps
by right‐clicking the mouse
Delete gaps by right‐clicking the mouse
Insert gaps in all sequences except the one
clicked on with the right mouse button
Delete gaps in all sequences except the one
clicked on with the right mouse button
Reverses the default functions of the left and
right mouse buttons
Toggle “Grab & Drag” mode
When this button is down, when sliding residues
is to crunch or expand downstream gaps
When this button is down, when sliding residues is
to move the entire sequence downstream of the
selection
Normal view mode residues are colored according to
the current color table
Inverse color view mode, Background boxes are
shaded
“Strength of Alignment” ‐‐ Residues are shaded in
grayscale according to the information content at
each column
Residue backgrounds are shaded according to the
information content at each column
Shade residues by identity and similarity
Draw features with sequences superimposed
over them
Draw features only. Do not show sequences
View sequences in color
View sequences in monochrome
Show identities to a reference sequence
(default = top)
Show or hide the mutual information examiner
(for RNA analysis only)
Brings up the color table edit dialog
Toggles “ignore anchor points” mode
Add or remove a positional marker flag
Add or remove a column anchoring point
Scroll speed controller
Assign first number on ruler
Double click sequence name to use sequence edit
mode and select “Overwrite” or “Insert”
Example 1
Pairwise alignment for
checking Primer
Go to “File > Open...” to open template and
primer files
For Forward primer select template and primer
then go to “Sequence>Pairwise Alignment>Align
two sequence(allow ends to slide)
F‐Primer anneal with template at position
109 ‐ 126
For Reverse primer select it and go to “Nucleic
acid>Reverse Complement” first
TGCTTGCTTGCTGACTAT
Reverse Complement
ATAGTCAGCAAGCAAGCA
Then go to “Sequence>Pairwise Alignment>Align
two sequence(allow ends to slide)
R‐Primer anneal with template at position
270 ‐ 287
Go to “File > Print Alignment as Text” then you can
copy the alignment to other software ex. MS Word
Example 2
Multiple alignment And
Creating Consensus sequence
Open first file by Go to “File > Open...”
Then you can open all other file by Go to “File
> Import > Sequence Alignment file”
Go to “Accessory Application > ClustalW
Multiple alignment”
Go to “Alignment > Create Consensus Sequence”
Example 3
Create Phylogenetic Guide Tree
Open referent, out group and unknown files then
select all and do Multiple Alignment
Go to “Accessory Application > DNAmlk DNA
maximum Likehood program with molecular clock
Result show that Unknown is a member of Dengue type 4
Example 4
Restriction Enzyme Analysis
Open file and then Go to “Sequence >
Nucleic Acid > Restrictionmap”
Now you can save result to text file
Example 5
DNA Contigs Assembly
Open file and then Go to “Accessory Application
> CAP contig assembly program”
Example 6
DNA Translation
Open file and then Go to “Sequence> Nucleic
Acid> Sorted Six‐Frame Translation”
Select Start Codon
Result show that most possibility frame is frame 1
Go to “Sequence> Nucleic Acid> Translate > Frame1”
Example 7
Amino acid Composition
Open file and then Go to “Sequence > Protein >
Amino Acid Composition”
Example 8
ABI File Analysis
Direct open .ABI file be Go to “File > Open...”
then edit the sequence and save as fasta or
text file
