The Stop Codon Map plots the positions of all the stop codons on either or both strands of a contig consensus sequence. If the Contig Editor is being used on the same contig, activating the Refresh button will fetch the current consensus from the editor, repeat the search and replot the stop codons. Otherwise the Refresh button is disabled.
The figure shows a typical zoomed in view of the Stop Codon Map display. The
positions for the stop codons in each reading frame (here all six frames are
shown) are displayed in horizontal strips. Along the top are the Back button
for reverting to previous levels of zoom, the crosshair toggle, a refresh
button and two boxes for showing the crosshair position. The left box shows
the current position and the right-hand box the separation of the last two
stops codons selected by the user. Below the display of stop codons is a
ruler and a horizontal scrollbar. The information line is showing the data for
the last stop codon the user has touched with the cursor. Also shown on the
left is a torn off copy of the View menu which is user to select the reading
frames to display.
