TITLE		Consensus

OCCURRENCE	ARB/SAI/Consensus

DESCRIPTION	Calculates consensus for marked or all sequences.

		1. Choose an 'alignment' (see LINK{glossary.hlp}) from the
                   'Alignment' subwindow.

		2. Define whether 'marked' (see LINK{glossary.hlp}) or all
                   sequences should be used by pressing the respective
                   checkbox after the 'species' prompt.

                3. See LINK{consensus_def.hlp} for consensus details.

		4. Define a name for the consensus sequence by selecting one
                   from the 'SAI' subwindow or by typing it to the
                   'Name of New SAI' field.

NOTES		The consensus sequence is stored within the database as an 'SAI'
		entry and automatically edited with 'ARB_EDIT4'.

EXAMPLES	None
