So if any other residue matches the identical score then a collision has occurred If another residue has a greater than or equal to matching score and these do not match then a collision has occurred Checks all those not in the current consensus.If any of these give a top score for matching or identical scores then a collision has occured Print residue scores Set page to Portrait No Yes You can view the original documentation here_. .. _here: http://emboss.sourceforge.net/apps/release/5.0/emboss/apps/prettyplot.html ------ **Citation** For the underlying tool, please cite `Rice P, Longden I, Bleasby A.
