Consensus Maker

Purpose: To calculate consensus sequences. We provide three tools for generating a consensus of your alignment.

Type Description Example
Simple Computes a consensus using customary parameters. Try this first to see if it meets your needs.
CON          Acg-?TTAG
sequence1    ACGTATTAG
sequence2    ACG-AT---
sequence3    ACT-CT---
sequence4    ATT-CX---
sequence5    ACG-AT---
sequence6    ACG-CT---
sequence7    ACG-TT---
         
Advanced

Allows greater control over consensus parameters. User can adjust values for majority and unanimous, specify which characters to consider, choose how to handle gaps, etc. Multiple consensuses can be made for consensus blocks (blocks of sequences within a single alignment), such as the "B" and "G" blocks in the example at right. A consensus of consensuses can be made.

Ambiguity

Produces a consensus that includes IUPAC ambiguity codes. Consensus blocks supported. Nucleotide alignments only.
