DAS Sequence Feature Retrieval

Jalview includes a client for retrieving sequences and their features via the Distributed Annotation System.

  1. Open the Feature Settings panel by selecting "View -> Feature Settings..."
  2. Click on the "DAS Settings" tabbed pane.
  3. Select the sources to use for DAS feature retrieval, then click the "Fetch DAS Features" button.

If your DAS source selection contains sources which use UniProt accession ids, you will be asked whether Jalview should find UniProt Accession ids for the given sequence names. It is important to realise that many DAS sources only use UniProt accession ids, rather than Swissprot/UniProt sequence names.
The database reference fetcher documentation describes how Jalview discovers what database references are appropriate for the sequences in the alignment.

 

DAS support was introduced in Jalview Version 2.1.


The DAS registry at http://www.dasregistry.org was decommissioned early in 2015. An unmaintained mirror is currently hosted at http://www.ebi.ac.uk/das-srv/registry/.
