23 <title>Removing Redundancy</title>
26 <p><strong>Removing redundancy</strong></p>
27 <p>Selecting the option in the Alignment window's <strong>Edit</strong>
28 menu or pressing <strong>'CONTROL+D'</strong> brings up a dialog box
29 asking you to select a threshold. If the percentage identity between the
30 aligned positions of any two sequences in the visible alignment exceeds
31 this value, the shorter sequence is discarded.<br><em>Note:</em> The redundancy
32 calculation is done when the dialog box is opened. For large numbers
33 of sequences this can take a long time as all pairs have to be compared.
