Frequently Asked Questions

Can I compare more than two genomes?

Sorry, no. This would have been significantly harder to implement. ACT can do it.

Why no Windows 10 support?

Because:

1. I can’t get BLAST to run. Everything else works.

2. I don’t have a proper Windows 10 machine to test on (only a VM), so this is difficult to debug.

If you know how to run BLAST natively in Windows 10, please get in contact.

Why no Windows ARM support?

Because there is no version of BLAST for Windows/ARM. Everything else works.

Why do the tooltips have slightly blurry text?

This seems to be a known issue with Godot rendering. Sorry but it probably won’t get fixed in Ziplign unless it’s changed in Godot.

Why are the save/load windows slightly blurry?

For the same reason as the tooltips. Please see the previous answer. One way around it is to make a custom save/load UI instead of the built-in ones that Ziplign currently uses, which is not worth the effort.

Why not use ACT instead?

Go ahead and use ACT. Or use Ziplign. Up to you. Choose your favourite.
