Alignment Window Menus
Alignment Window Calculate Menu
- Sort
- by ID
This will sort the sequences according to sequence name. If the sort is
repeated, the order of the sorted sequences will be inverted.
- by Length
This will sort the sequences according to their length (excluding gap characters). If the sort is
repeated, the order of the sorted sequences will be inverted.
- by Group
This will sort the sequences according to sequence name.
If the sort is repeated, the order of the sorted sequences will be inverted.
- by Pairwise Identity
This will sort the selected sequences by their percentage
identity to the consensus sequence. The most similar sequence is put at
the top.
- The Sort menu will have
some additional options if the alignment has any associated
score annotation, or you have just done a multiple alignment calculation
or opened a tree viewer window.
- Calculate Tree
Functions for calculating trees on the alignment or the currently selected
region. See calculating trees.
- Average Distance Using % Identity
- Neighbour Joining Using % Identity
- Average Distance Using Blosum62
- Neighbour Joining Using Blosum62
- Pairwise Alignments
Applies Smith and Waterman algorithm to selected sequences. See pairwise
alignments.
- Principal Component Analysis
Shows a spatial clustering of the sequences based on the BLOSUM62 scores
in the alignment. See Principal Component
Analysis.
- Extract Scores ... (optional)
This option is only visible if Jalview detects one or more white-space separated values in the description line of the alignment sequences.
When selected, these numbers are parsed into sequence associated annotation which can
then be used to sort the alignment via the Sort by→Score menu.
- Autocalculate Consensus
For large alignments it can be useful to deselect "Autocalculate
Consensus" when editing. This prevents the sometimes lengthy calculations
performed after each sequence edit.
