Viewing Variants in the Alignment View

To display variants in the Alignment View, select Variant > Show Variants.

 

The Alignment View changes as follows:

 

 

      If the reference sequence is from a GenBank file, bases annotated as features of type “variation” are displayed in green, by default.

 

      Bases in sample sequences are also colored to distinguish non-variants and types of variants throughout the view. These colors can be changed to suit your preferences from the Variant Discovery parameters. Default colors are:

 

Blue for putative variants

 

Green for confirmed variants. Note that all reference variants are colored as confirmed variants.

 

Red for rejected variants

 

Gray for non-variants

 

      A base in a sample sequence that SeqMan Pro has determined is a heterozygous putative variant is displayed using the appropriate ambiguity code.

 

      To hide variants in the Alignment View, select Variant > Hide Variants to return to the normal display.

 

Note: You cannot edit when variants are displayed; you can only edit in the normal display.
