## OCCURRENCE

### ARB_EDIT4/Edit/Dot potentially missing bases

## DESCRIPTION

### This function changes all gaps ('-') where bases are possibly missing into dots ('.').

### It applies to all (or all marked) sequences of one group. The cursor has to be placed on the consensus of the group.

### In columns where the group consensus shows an uppercase base, all gaps get replaced by dots.

### Additionally an SAI can be used to restrict the affected columns:

- Select the wanted SAI
- Edit characters that shall be used to select a column.

### Click on the 'Consensus' button to change the way how the consensus is calculated (see also '´Consensus definition´')
