Alignment Consensus Annotation

The consensus displayed below the alignment is the percentage of the modal residue per column. By default this calculation takes includes gaps in column. You can choose to ignore gaps in the calculation by right clicking on the label "Consensus" to the left of the consensus bar chart.

If the modal value is shared by more than 1 residue, a "+" symbol is used in the display for the simple reason that it is not possible to display multiple characters in a single character space.
