Different alignments assigned to the same species (eg. sequences
of different genes) can be stored in one database.
The name of the currently accessible alignment (ali_*) is shown
in the 3rd broad rectangular button in the top area of the
ARB_NT window.
The sequences themselves are not stored in the 'ali_*' field of
a species, but in the subfield 'data' of 'ali_*'
'ali_*' is a container field: it holds no data
except other data fields (like a directory in a file system).
