Figure 1

Use of tags to create an alignment. To create this alignment, the query sequence read against the reference sequence until after amino acid #8 (reference sequence numbering), then a gap of 3 residues is inserted in the query (tag 8-3; deletion of length 3 in query). The sequences are continued until amino acid #21 (reference sequence numbering), then a gap of 1 residue is the reference sequence (tag 21g1; insertion of 1 amino acid in query sequence). There is no need for substitution tags in this example because both amino acid sequences have been stored.
