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