- What's new ? + What's new in Jalview 2.10.5 ?

- Jalview 2.9 has been in development since December 2014. In addition - to a multitude of bug fixes and minor improvements (both small, and - rather big!), it also brings major new capabilities for codon-level - analysis of protein alignments and the retrieval and manipulation of - structural data.

For the full list of changes, see the - Jalview 2.9 Release Notes. -

- Highlights in Jalview 2.9 +

Jalview 2.10.5 is a minor release that includes critical + patches for users working with Ensembl, and RNA secondary structure + annotation.

Visualisation, editing and analysis of - cDNA and Protein alignments
A new Split View window allows linked - protein and nucleotide sequence alignments to be viewed, edited, - and analysed as one.
cDNA alignments can also be - reconstructed from protein alignments calculated by Jalview's web - services, and update in response to edits in the amino acid view.
To - start experimenting with cDNA/Protein analysis, jut drop a file - containing cDNA sequences which code for proteins in an existing - alignment, and Jalview will do the rest.
Enhanced Integration of UCSF Chimera
Jalview - 2.9 provides full support for the use of Chimera to view 3D - structures linked to alignment views in the Jalview Desktop. We've - also included support for saving Chimera sessions in Jalview - project files.
Jalview and Chimera communicate using local - web server connections, which may cause firewall alerts on some - systems, but has the advantage of allowing bidirectional - communication. Communication between Jalview and Chimera is now - much more responsive, and selected regions in Chimera are now - shown as highlighted regions in the Jalview desktop.
Interactive querying of the PDBe
Jalview - users can now browse and retrieve 3D structure data from the PDB - via the PDBe - Search API (Gutmanas - et al 2014). Developed in collaboration with the PDBe group at - EMBL-EBI, the interface allows both structured and free-text - queries to be performed, and allows automatic selection of the - most relevant structures for an alignment acording to a variety of - criteria.
Improved support for RNA visualisation
Jalview - 2.9 integrates the latest version of the VARNA RNA Viewer, and VARNA views - can also now be stored in Jalview projects. We've also dealt with - a number of lingering bugs in the VARNA/Jalview interface, - including the loss of pseudoknots when RNA secondary structure is - shown VARNA.
Protein Secondary Structure predictions - with JPred4
Jalview includes a number of new features for - working with secondary structure predictions from the JPred4 - server. These include new popup menu actions to automatically hide insertions and highlight - mutations in an alignment with respect to a Reference - Sequence. Jalview 2.9's new scrollable - SVG HTML export was also developed specifically for the JPred4 - server.
EPS, PNG and SVG export now includes hidden sequence + markers, and representative sequences are marked in bold.
Ensembl Client updated for Ensembl Rest API v7.
The + latest Ensembl API is not backwards compatible with earlier + versions of Jalview, so if you require Ensembl functionality you + will need to install this release. +
Improved support for VIENNA extended dot-bracket notation + for RNA secondary structure
Positional and selected region highlighting in VARNA + 'trimmed sequence' view now more reliable

- +

+ The full list of bugs fixed in this release can be found in the 2.10.5 Release Notes. The majority of improvement in 2.10.5 are due to Jalview users + contacting us via the jalview-discuss email list. Thanks to everyone + who took the time to do this !

Jalview and Java 10

This release addresses a critical bug for OSX users who are + running Jalview with Java 10 which can prevent files being saved + correctly through the 'Save As' dialog box. The 'Save As' dialog for + Jalview's Groovy Console remains affected - we hope to address this + in the next major release.
