- What's new in Jalview 2.10 ?
+ What's new in Jalview 2.10.3b1 ?
- Jalview 2.10 is the next major release in the Jalview 2 series. Full
- details are in the Jalview
- 2.10 Release Notes, but the highlights are below.
+ This release - Jalview 2.10.3b1 is the January 2018 patch release for Version 2.10.3 was released in November 2017. The major focus was to
+ improve Jalview's sequence features datamodel and the scalability of
+ the alignment rendering system. The bugs fixed in this release can be found in the 2.10.3b1
+ Release Notes.
+
+ The highlights for Jalview 2.10.3 include:
+
+
+ - Faster and more responsive UI when importing and working
+ with wide alignments and handling hundreds and thousands of
+ sequence features
+ - Improved usability with PDB and UniProt Free Text
+ Search dialog, and new tab for retrieval of sequences for lists of
+ IDs.
+
+ - Short names assigned to sequences retrieved from UniProt
+ - Groovy console upgraded to 2.4.12 (improved support for Java 9)
+
+
+ Experimental Features
+
+
+ Remember, please enable the Experimental Features option in
+ the Jalview Desktop's Tools menu, and then restart Jalview
+ if you want to try out features below:
- - Ensembl sequence fetcher. Annotated Genes,
- transcripts and proteins can be retrieved via Jalview's new Ensembl REST
- client. Support for import of Ensembl data allows:
-
- - Sequence variant data. Jalview
- propagates variant annotation on genomic regions onto
- transcripts and protein products, complete with associated
- metadata such as clinical significance.
- - Aligned locus view. Transcripts
- retrieved for a gene identifier via the Ensembl or
- EnsemblGenomes sequence databases are automatically aligned to
- their reference genome, and introns hidden from the view.
-
- - Working with structures.
-
- - More accurate structure mappings.
- Jalview now utilises the PDBe's SIFTS database (at EMBL-EBI)
- to match structures
- to UniProt sequences, even for structures containing
- multiple copies of a sequence.
- - Import structures as mmCIF. Jalview
- now downloads data from the EMBL-EBI's PDBe site as mmCIF. This allows very large
- structures to be imported, such as the HIV virus capsid
- assembly.
- - Chimera users will need to upgrade to
- 1.11.1.If you use Chimera to view structures downloaded by
- Jalview 2.10, you will need to make sure you are running the
- latest version of Chimera.
-
- - UniProt Free Text Search. The new search
- dialog for UniProt allows you to browse and retrieve sequences
- from UniProt with free-text search and more structured queries
- - Reference sequence alignment view..
- Jalview 2.9 introduced support for reference sequences. In 2.10,
- when a reference sequence is defined for the alignment, the
- alignment column ruler is now numbered according to the reference
- sequence. The reference sequence for alignment views can also be
- saved and restored from Jalview projects.
- - Ensembl and ENA 'show cross-references'
- support.The Calculations menu's 'Show
- cross-references' will now offer Ensembl as well as EMBLCDS and
- Uniprot when CDS/Protein mapping data is available for download or
- display.
-
+ - Annotation transfer between Chimera and Jalview
Two
+ new entries in
+ the Chimera viewer's Chimera menu allow positional annotation to
+ be exchanged between Chimera and Jalview.
