Opening contigs

The contig of each locus can be opened either by double-clicking the table entry or clicking the open (Image contig) button. This lets you inspect and edit the contig for variations and sequencing errors in a separate view (see figure 4.5).

If you edit the consensus sequence in the contig, the isolate will automatically update the allelic type and subsequently the sequence type. This means that e.g. correcting a sequencing error will immediately reveal the right allelic type.

All changes to the contig are recorded in the contig's history (Image history_16_n_p).
