As much as we wish it were otherwise, biological sequence data retrieved from public genome databases or generated in the lab are rife with errors. These errors may heavily influence the results of analyses performed on genetic or protein sequences and alignments. Thus it is necessary to omit poorly sequenced regions from the sequence/alignment prior to running the analyses. This is done by masking (replacing) the offending sequence of characters with a string of equivalent length of a character which does not exist in the DNA, RNA or amino acid alphabets, typically the letter "N".
This is a plugin for Gnome Gedit to speed up this process. Simply highlight the region you wish to mask and select "Mask sequence region" from the Edit me
