Definition
A project contains sequences, information on how these sequences fit
together to form larger pieces and parameter information, specified by
the user, that controls alignment operations.
The window in which Sequencher displays the contigs and
unincorporated Sequences of a project. Items in the Project Window
are can be shown as icons, small icons or as a sorted list.
A number associated with each base call and which defines the
likelihood that a base call is incorrect. See also Confidence score.

exists at that position.
A small piece of DNA, decoded into its component bases, in order,
represented as text. Sometimes in reverse order, depending upon the
vagaries of the sequencing procedure.
The window used for editing DNA sequences. This editor looks
much like a word processor and supports the standard text editing
commands: Cut, Copy, Paste and Undo.
An on screen control that simulates the action of a slide control that
might normally be used as a volume or dimmer control on a household
appliance.
The region at the top of a window on the computer.
