Ruler tracks

To view consensus rulers:

Blue consensus rulers number and tick any gaps found in the consensus. The visibility of consensus rulers in the Overview, Sequences view and Pairwise view is dependent on:

• Which boxes you check in the Tracks panel (see image below).
  
  
  • Ruler – Overview header & Pairwise view
    
    
  • Sequence Ruler – Overview footer
    
    
  • Ruler 1 – Sequences View header
    
    
  • Ruler 2 – Sequences View footer
    
    p(((.

• Whether or not tracks are visible in a given view. To display tracks, click on the plus sign next to a sequence in the view of interest.

To view gap-aware sequence rulers:

Unlike the blue consensus rulers described above, black “gap-aware” sequence rulers use pre-alignment numbering for the sequences. The visibility of sequence rulers in views is dependent on:

• Which boxes you check in the Tracks panel. Boxes for Sequence Ruler appear in three parts of the Tracks panel: Overview Details, Sequence Details, and Pairwise Details.

• Whether or not tracks are visible in the views. To display hidden tracks, click on the plus sign next to a sequence in the view of interest.

*Note: In the Overview, a sequence ruler running from left to right (i.e., larger numbers on the right), denotes a sequence that has been reverse complemented with respect to its original orientation. MegAlign Pro does not permit manual reverse-complementing of sequences, but the Mauve multiple alignment algorithm reverse-complements automatically, where necessary. In a Mauve multi-block alignment, changing the active block can cause entire sequences to be reverse-complemented.

To change Ruler options:

Currently, the Ruler tracks do not have editable options. However, you can add white space above and/or below the ruler using sliders in the Layout section.
