I haven't been able to figure out how to copy or save a consensus sequence after it has been generated.

After loading a data set, I choose Data > Additional info > Consensus sequence. The sequence appears beneath the alignment, separated by a bar. I've tried saving with "Consensus sequence" still checked, but only the original sequences are saved, and right-clicking doesn't allow the option of copying to clipboard.

Would love some tips!

I discovered a major caveat. It seems impossible to calculate consensus sequences for subsets of an alignment (data file). Instead, one has to spawn a new data panel with the subset, and then find the consensus. It's then possible to copy and save as described above.

Hope this helps others. I found it a slightly unintuitive interface.
