21. Customizing <strong>Sequencher</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>User</strong><br />

Preferences<br />

In this chapter we discuss how to set your view preferences, such as colors, custom<br />

codes, features <strong>and</strong> motifs <strong>and</strong> the genetic codes you want to use. We also discuss how<br />

to set your user preferences such as confidence scores, labels <strong>and</strong> names, assembly<br />

parameters <strong>and</strong> how you want to display chromatograms. You will learn that all of these<br />

preferences can be saved as individual or group preferences.<br />

View Preferences<br />

<strong>Sequencher</strong> offers you a number of options for specifying how you want to view your<br />

data in the sequence <strong>and</strong> contig editors. These options can provide visual cues which help<br />

to differentiate your data.<br />

Ambiguous bases<br />

<strong>Sequencher</strong> can underline all ambiguous bases in the sequence or contig editors. Go<br />

to the View menu <strong>and</strong> choose Base Ambiguities As. Go to the submenu <strong>and</strong> choose<br />

Underlined to mark ambiguities or Not Highlighted for unmarked ambiguities.<br />

Edited Bases<br />

<strong>Sequencher</strong> can highlight bases that have been edited, which helps you audit the integrity<br />

of your data. Go to the View menu <strong>and</strong> choose Base Edits As. Select Not Highlighted<br />

for unmarked edits, Bold Magenta for colored edits <strong>and</strong> bOLD & cASE cHANGE for<br />

bold <strong>and</strong> a changed case.<br />

Display Color Bases<br />

<strong>Sequencher</strong> can display bases in color. To turn on this feature for either a sequence<br />

or contig editor display, choose Display Color Bases from the View menu. (For<br />

information on how to change the color assignments see the section “Ambiguity Codes”<br />

in this chapter.)<br />
