If a document is open and contains sequences (whether they have been aligned or not) and nothing is selected, the Details panel contains the following information:

Heading



  • The project filename.

  • Sequence typeDNA, RNA, or Protein.
Alignment

This section is only displayed for, and only pertains to, sequences in the project that have already been aligned.

  • Alignment – Alignment algorithm used (e.g., MAFFT, MUSCLE).

  • Sequences – Number of sequences in the alignment.

  • Sequence typeDNA or protein.

  • Min. and Max. sequence lengths – Lengths of the shortest and longest sequences in the alignment.
Unaligned Sequences

This section is only displayed for, and only pertains to, sequences in the project that are not included in the alignment.

  • Sequences – Number of unaligned sequences.

  • Sequence typeDNA, RNA, or Protein.

  • Min. and Max. sequence lengths – Lengths of the shortest and longest unaligned sequences.
Actions


  • Add sequences – Shortcut to File > Add Sequences (see Add ungapped / gapped sequences to a project).

  • Add sequences end-to-end – Shortcut to File > Add Sequences End-to-end (See Add multi-segment sequences to a project).

  • Align with options – Shortcut to Align > Align with Options.
