programs to align multiple sequences usually insert a "-" gap in almost all
sequences,
when just only one of the sequences has an additional entry here.
e.g.:
abcdef
abxdef
ajcdef
abbcde
gives:
ab-cdef
ab-xdef
aj-cdef
abbcde-
with 3 gaps at position 3 and only one non-gap.
I'd prefer:
abcdef
abxdef
ajcdef
ab{b}cde
is it possible ? wouldn't it make more sense ? Is there a converter ?
