Hi Tariq,

Can you send us the sample code / DB accession IDs so we can try to
reproduce this?

It is that when two or more protein sequences are aligned the '-' is shown more times in an aligned sequence than the gaps display by the method of alSeq.getNumGaps(). 'alSeq' is an aligned sequence. For example, if there are actual 50 '-' in an aligned sequence but the method shows it only 30. What is the difference between these two results.
