Jalview provides a special viewing mode to show Coding DNA (cDNA)
and protein product alignments as a split view, with cDNA above and
protein below. The two alignments are linked, allowing editing and
analysis to be performed at both the peptide and nucleotide level.
- Linked protein alignments also have an additional
- <strong>cDNA Consensus</strong> annotation row, showing the
- distribution of codons at each column
- of the protein alignment.

<li>To allow for the different widths in cDNA and Protein
alignments, the <strong><a href="../menus/alwformat.html">"Format→Font"</a></strong>
menu option has an option 'Scale protein residues to codons'. This
option will make each protein residue the same width as a DNA

-<p>A Split Frame View can be opened in one of the following ways:</p>
-<p><strong><em>Add Sequences</em></strong></p>
-<p>If you add (coding) DNA sequences to an open peptide alignment, or vice versa, <em>and</em> at least one DNA sequence translates to one of the
-peptide sequences, then the option to open in a split window is offered. The DNA may include start and/or stop codons, but no non-coding (intron)
-sequence.<br>
-If more than one cDNA variant is present in the alignment, Jalview will first try to match these to protein sequences based on any retrieved cross-references, and failing that, pairwise as they are ordered in the alignments.
