To display rulers:
The visibility of ruler tracks in the Overview, Sequences view and Pairwise view is dependent on:
- Whether or not tracks are visible in those views. To display hidden tracks, click on the plus sign next to the sequence of interest in the view.
- Which boxes you check in the Tracks panel.
- Sequence rulers can be displayed in MegAlign Pro’s graphical views by checking the following boxes in the Tracks panel:
- Overview details > Sequence Ruler – 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.
