23 <title>DAS Features</title>
28 <strong>DAS Sequence Feature Retrieval</strong>
31 Jalview includes a client for retrieving sequences and their
32 features via the Distributed Annotation System.
35 <li>Open the Feature Settings panel by selecting "View
36 -> Feature Settings..."</li>
37 <li>Click on the "<a href="dassettings.html">DAS
38 Settings</a>" tabbed pane.
40 <li>Select the sources to use for DAS feature retrieval, then
41 click the "Fetch DAS Features" button.
43 <li>Cancelling Feature Retrieval<br> Press the <strong>Cancel
44 Fetch</strong> button to immediately stop feature retrieval. This
45 will not remove any features already added to the alignment,
46 but will halt any outstanding DAS requests.<em>The cancel
47 fetch button is of particular use when one or more DAS
48 annotation servers are not responding!</em>
53 If your DAS source selection contains sources which use UniProt
54 accession ids, you will be asked whether Jalview should find UniProt
55 Accession ids for the given sequence names. It is important to
56 realise that many DAS sources only use UniProt accession ids, rather
57 than Swissprot/UniProt sequence names.<br> The <a
58 href="../webServices/dbreffetcher.html"
59 >database reference fetcher</a> documentation describes how Jalview
60 discovers what database references are appropriate for the sequences
63 <li><em>Note</em><br> Please remember to save your
64 alignment if either the start/end numbering, or the sequence IDs
65 were updated during the ID retrieval process.</li>
69 <em>DAS support was introduced in Jalview Version 2.1.</em>
73 <em>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/.</em>
