7 <p><strong>Web services</strong></p>
9 <p>Jalview includes clients for a variety of web services for both
10 bioinformatic data retrieval and analysis.
12 <li>The <a href="../features/seqfetcher.html">Sequence Fetcher</a>
13 utilises web services for sequence, alignment and structure retrieval
14 provided by the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) and Distributed
15 Annotation System servers that are capable of serving sequences.</li>
16 <li>The DAS Feature Fetcher enables the retrieval and
17 visualization of features from DAS annotation sources</li>
18 <li>Jalview SOAP Web Services for sequence and alignment analysis
19 are provided by the University of Dundee, and are available from the
20 Alignment window's <strong> Web Service</strong> menu.</li>
23 <p>Jalview's distributed computations are SOAP based services
24 exposing protein sequence alignment and secondary structure prediction
25 programs. These services actually run on the cluster based in the School
26 of Life Sciences, University of Dundee, and are maintained by the Barton
28 <p><strong><a name="envision2">Envision2 Services</a></strong></p>
29 <p>Jalview 2.5 includes a client to enable the user to
30 submit one or more sequences or sequence IDs to analysis workflows provided
31 by the <a href="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/enfin-srv/envision2">EnVision2
32 web application</a>. This allows Jalview users to easily access the EnCore network of
33 databases and analysis services developed by members of <a href="http://www.enfin.org">ENFIN</a>.</p>
35 <p><strong>Web Service Dialog Box</strong></p>
36 <img src="clwqueued.gif">
37 <p>This dialog box is displayed when a web service job is submitted.
38 It gives the name of the service and any method citation information,
39 and monitors the progress of the calculation. The cancel button will
40 permanently cancel the job, but this is only possible for some services.
44 <a href="msaclient.html"><strong>Multiple Sequence
45 Alignment Services</strong></a>
47 <li><a href="clustalw.html">ClustalW Multiple Alignment and
49 The clustal W service remains one of the more popular Jalview
51 <li><a href="muscle.html">Muscle Multiple Alignment</a><br>
52 High Quality and High Throughput multiple alignments of proteins. This
53 method can sometimes be more accurate than ClustalW when dealing with
54 diverse sets of sequences.</li>
55 <li><a href="mafft.html">MAFFT</a><br>
56 Multiple Alignment with Fast Fourier Transforms - a highly accurate
57 and high throughput dna and amino acid alignment method, performing at
58 least as well as ClustalW and Muscle.</li>
61 <li><strong>Secondary Structure Prediction</strong>
63 <li><a href="jnet.html">JNet</a><br>
64 This is a front end to the existing <a
65 href="http://www.compbio.dundee.ac.uk/www-jpred/">JNet www server</a>
66 allowing single sequence or profile based prediction.</li>
71 <!-- <p>Watch this space! These are some of the services
72 planned to be released soon:<ul>
73 <li>More alignment services: PROBCONS, T-COFFEE</li>
76 <li>Remote Homology Detection<br>
79 In the future, Jalview will also be able to new discover services
80 dynamically, and distribute expensive analysis functions like <a
81 href="../calculations/pca.html">PCA</a> to the Dundee machines.</p>-->
