- DAS Sequence Feature Retrieval -

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

Open the Feature Settings panel by selecting "View - -> Feature Settings..."
Click on the "DAS - Settings" tabbed pane. -
Select the sources to use for DAS feature retrieval, then - click the "Fetch DAS Features" button. -
- Cancelling Feature Retrieval
  Press the Cancel - Fetch button to immediately stop feature retrieval. This - will not remove any features already added to the alignment, - but will halt any outstanding DAS requests.The cancel - fetch button is of particular use when one or more DAS - annotation servers are not responding! -
-

- 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. -

Note
Please remember to save your - alignment if either the start/end numbering, or the sequence IDs - were updated during the ID retrieval process.

- 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/. -

- DAS Settings -

- Jalview can retrieve sequences and features from many DAS sources. The DAS sources - that it uses are discovered and selected via the DAS - settings panel, opened either from the View→Feature Settings dialog - box from the alignment window's menu bar, or the Tools→Preferences - dialog box opened from the Desktop menu bar. -

- -

The available sources are listed in the table using each - source's Nickname as its identifier. Clicking on a source's entry in - the table reveals more information about that service in the panel - to the right. Select the tickbox in the "Use Source" - column for a source to add it to the set Jalview queries for - alignment and sequence features.

You can filter the visible DAS sources by authority, type and - "label". You should read the DAS documentation to - understand more about these values. -

- Updating the list of sources -

- When the DAS Settings panel is first opened, and when the 'Refresh - source' buton is pressed, a list of DAS sources is retrieved from - the DAS registry URL. Note that the registry hosted at - http://www.dasregistry.org/das/ was retired at the start of 2015. An - alternative service is currently hosted at - http://www.ebi.ac.uk/das-srv/registry/das/. To connect to this - service, ensure your .jalview_properties file includes the following - line:
DAS_REGISTRY_URL=http\://www.ebi.ac.uk/das-srv/registry/das/ -

- Adding your own DAS Sources -

You can add your own DAS source to the list by clicking the - "Add Local Source" button. Enter the URL and nickname of - your additional service. It should be noted that Jalview 2.1 will - not query additional sources for more information, but this will be - implemented in future editions. -
