JABAWS 2
+JABAWS2.0:Disorder is free software which provides web services for prediction of protein disorder, multiple sequence alignment and amino acid conservation conveniently packaged to run on your local computer, server or cluster. Disorder prediction services are based on DisEMBL, IUPred, Ronn, GlobPlot, conservation is calculated by AACon, multiple sequence alignment services are the Clustal Omega, Clustal W, MAFFT, MUSCLE, TCOFFEE and PROBCONS. +JABA Web Services can be accessed from the Jalview multiple sequence alignment editor and analysis workbench to allow multiple alignment calculations limited only by your own local computing resources.

+ For Users
+ The Server: JABAWS Virtual Appliance: (520M)
+ or use JABAWS on Amazon Webservices Cloud
+ + The Client: Jalview (18M) + To use JABA Web Services on most operating systems, just download and install the JABAWS Virtual Appliance (VA) or even easier - just start JABAWS machine on the cloud and point Jalview at it! + |
+
+ For System Administrators
+
+ The Server: JABAWS Web Application aRchive (55M) +JABAWS requires a Servlet 2.4 compatible servlet container like Apache-Tomcat to run. Please check the quick start guide for installation instructions. + |
+
+ For Bioinformaticians/Developers
+The Server: JABAWS Web Application aRchive (55M)
+
+ + The Client: + Command Line Client binary | source + + + + You can either use the JABAWS Virtual Appliance or the JABAWS Web Application aRchive (WAR) from your own computer or a lab server. The WAR version gives greater flexibility but requires a bit more configuration. Alternatively you can just script against our public server (see below) with the command line client or you own script. +Check out the quick start guide for further details. + + |

What is JABAWS?
-JAva Bioinformatics Analysis Web Services (JABAWS) is a collection of SOAP web services for bioinformatics. Web services make it easy to access well-known tools from anywhere anytime. SOAP Web Services are designed for use by other programmes, rather than people. Current version of JABA web services integrates with Jalview and provides five web services for multiple sequence alignment. They are:
+Public JABAWS Server
+ You can access our public JABA Web Services with our command line client, Jalview, or with your own program. Jalview is configured to use this public JABAWS server by default.

Why JABAWS?
-JABA Web Services have a number of distinct features not found elsewhere. -
In particular JABAWS -
-
-
- gives uniform remote access for a number of command line tools This allows you to access a number of programmes anywhere anytime. All multiple sequence alignment services comply with a single interface, simplifying command invocation. Most of the command line programmes' options are supported, so you have the same level of control as with the command line. -
- enables Jalview to perform variety of analysis (more to come in the future) on the alignments It is very easy to connect the different instances of JABAWS. So if one is off line, another one will do the job for you. If you use it in your software it is only the matter of a server name change, no other magic is required. -
- can be easily deployed on a large variety of platforms and run on a single server or on the cluster. JABAWS integrates with a large number of cluster job management systems.This eliminates the scalability issues and let you focus on your research, JABAWS will take care of the task management. -
- services are WS-I basic profile v. 1.1 compatibleThis means that programmes or other web services written in almost any programming languages should have no difficulties using JABA web services. -
Below are the examples of things that you can do with JABAWS

Unhappy with the defaults settings?
-
- Want to use PAM200 substitution matrix, set the number of iterations, or sequence clustering method? No problems, JABAWS can do that. Any additional parameters or combinations of where of can be defined. You are no longer limited to defaults!
- -
-
JABAWS in Dundee is not available? No problem, choose a different service provider and off you go. We hope that other major service providers like EBI will soon be housing JABAWS.

Worried about sending your data to the internet? Install JABAWS in your lab. Point your Jalview client to the services in your lab, and no data will leave you lab any longer.

Want to install JABAWS but are not sure what is required? JABA Web Services will work happily on a single server as well as on the cluster. For large number of request of cause it is better to use a cluster. Little configuration is involved.

Public JABAWS Server
-| Feature | -Description | -
|---|---|
| URL | -http://www.compbio.dundee.ac.uk/jaba | -
| Execution limits | -Local execution limit is 40 sequnces with no more than 500 letters average length. Larger tasks are send to the cluster. Tasks exceeding 1000×1000 (sequences per letters) will not be accepted for alignment. If you would like to work with bigger alignments consider installing JABAWS in your lab. | -
| Web Services Description | -WSDL List | -
These web services will reject submissions containing more then one thousand sequences. Should you find this to be insufficient for your needs, or if you are concerned about privacy or on an unreliable network connection, then you can download and run the JABAWS Server on your own hardware.
-Authors
-Conceptually, Java Bioinformatics Analysis Web Services are the successor of the Jalview Web Services. At the code level, however, JABA Web Services do not contain any code from Jalview Web Services because of the complete change of technologies in time of coding. Jim Procter and Geoff Barton are the authors of Jalview Web Services. Peter Troshin and Geoff Barton are the authors of the JABA Web Services. Jim Procter has contributed to JABAWS development by making useful suggestions, integrating JABAWS with Jalview, and correcting some of its configuration files.
