If 'ARB_partial' is 1 then the sequence is considered partial. There's a special function to add partial sequences (see LINK{pa_partial.hlp}). NOTES There are several function to find and mark species with partial or full sequence in the Species menu. EXAMPLES Attraction of partial sequences (when added as full sequence): Species1 .....NNNNNNNNNNN............................. Species2 .......................NNNNNNNNNNNNNN........ The calculated distance between 'Species1' and 'Species2' will be ZERO when they are added as full sequences and as a result they will group together. Adding them as partial sequences will avoid that problem. WARNINGS Partial sequences cannot be used to calculate trees. Currently this isn't forbidden, but it's highly recommended not to do that. Instead remove all species with partial sequences from the tree, then optimize the tree and afterwards add the removed species again using LINK{pa_partial.hlp}. BUGS No bugs known
