Symbolic representation in sequence
view
In the Side Panel of normal sequence views (), you will find an extra group under Nucleotide info called Secondary Structure. This is used to display a symbolic representation of the secondary structure along the sequence (see figure 22.19).
Figure 22.19: The secondary structure visualized below the sequence and with annotations shown above.
The following options can be set:
- Show all structures. If more than one structure is predicted, this option can be used if all the structures should be displayed.
- Show first. If not all structures are shown, this can be used to determine the number of structures to be shown.
- Sort by. When you select to display e.g. four out of
eight structures, this option determines which the "first four"
should be.
- Sort by G.
- Sort by name.
- Sort by time of creation.
- Base pair symbol. How a base pair should be represented (see figure 22.19).
- Unpaired symbol. How bases which are not part of a base pair should be represented (see figure 22.19).
- Height. When you zoom out, this option determines the height of the symbols as shown in figure 22.20 (when zoomed in, there is no need for specifying the height).
- Base pair probability. See Probability-based coloring).
When you zoom in and out, the appearance of the symbols change. In figure 22.19, the view is zoomed in. In figure 22.20 you see the same sequence zoomed out to fit the width of the sequence.
