Extracting Selected as MSA

It is possible to extract a subalignment and save it as a new multiple sequence alignment (MSA).

Select a subalignment and choose the Export ‣ Save subalignment option in the Actions main menu or in the context menu. The following dialog will appear:

Specify the name and format of the new MSA file in the File name and File format to use fields. The currently selected region is extracted by default when you press the Extract button.

You can change the columns to be extracted using the From and to fields. Change the rows to be extracted by checking or unchecking the required sequences in the Selected sequences list.

Use the buttons:

• Invert selection — to invert the selection of the sequences.
• Select all — to select all sequences.
• Clear selection — to clear the selection of all sequences.

The Add to project checkbox specifies whether to add the MSA file created from the subalignment to the active project.
