As described in sections 1.6.3.2 and 1.7.3, above, right-clicking on a nucleotide in the alignment on the Global Align or the Consensus Align tab opens a context-sensitive menu that includes a “properties” option. Selecting this option opens a “properties” window containing sequence-specific information for the Consensus or read on which you right-clicked. The specific information that is provided in this window depends on whether the sequence is a Consensus, a forward read or a reverse read.
