48 <li><strong>Print<br>
\r
49 </strong><em>Jalview will print the alignment using the current fonts and
\r
50 colours of your alignment. If the alignment has annotations visible, these
\r
51 will be printed below the alignment. If the alignment is wrapped the number
\r
52 of residues per line of your alignment will depend on the paper width or
\r
53 your alignment window width, whichever is the smaller. <br>
\r
55 <li><strong>Load Associated Tree<br>
\r
56 </strong><em>Jalview can <a
\r
57 href="../calculations/treeviewer.html">view trees</a> stored in
\r
58 the Newick file format, and associate them with the
\r
59 alignment. Note: the ids of the tree file and your alignment
\r
60 MUST be the same.<br>
\r
62 <li><strong>Close<br>
\r
63 </strong><em>Close the alignment window. Make sure you have

64 saved your alignment before you close - either as a Jalview

\r
68 <li><strong>Edit</strong></li>
\r
72 <li><strong>Undo</strong><em><br>
\r
73 This will undo any edits you make to the alignment. This applies to insertion
\r
74 or deletion of gaps, cutting residues or sequences from the alignment or
\r
75 pasting sequences to the current alignment or sorting the
\r
76 alignment. <strong>NOTE:</strong> It DOES NOT undo colour
\r
77 changes, adjustments to group sizes, or changes to the annotation panel. <br>
\r
79 <li><strong>Redo<br>
\r
80 </strong><em>Any actions which you undo can be redone using redo. <br>

349 be aligned, then a JNet prediction will be run for the first
\r
350 sequence in the alignment, using the current

351 alignment. Otherwise the first sequence will be submitted for prediction.
\r
354 just one sequence (or a region on one sequence) has been selected,

355 it will be submitted to the automatic JNet prediction server
\r
356 for homolog detection and prediction.

358 <li>If a set of sequences are selected, and they appear to be aligned,
