23 <title>Multi-Group Sequence Harmony and Multi-Relief</title>
26 <strong>Functional residue analysis with Sequence Harmony and
29 The Multi-Harmony (a.k.a. Sequence Harmony and Multi-Relief, or
30 SHMR) service (<a href="#shmrref">Brandt, Feenstra and Heringa,
31 2010</a>) available from the <em>Analysis</em> sub-menu of the
32 alignment window's web services menu provides a method for the
33 identification of significant patterns of <em>sub-family
34 variation</em> amongst the columns of an alignment.
37 <strong>Instructions for use</strong><br> The service requires
38 a protein sequence multiple alignment that has been sub-divided into
39 groups containing at least two non-identical protein sequences. An
40 easy way to create groups is to use the built-in <a
41 href="../calculations/tree.html">neighbour-joining or
42 UPGMA tree</a> routines to calculate a tree for the alignment, and
43 then click on the tree to subdivide the alignment.
46 The SHMR service operates on the currently selected visible
47 region(s) of the alignment. Once submitted, a job progress window
48 will display status information about your job, including a URL
49 which allows you to visit the status page on the <a
50 href="http://zeus.few.vu.nl/programs/shmrwww/">IBIVU SHMR
53 <p>When the job is complete, Jalview will automatically open a new
54 window containing the alignment and groups that were submitted for
55 analysis, with additional histograms added portraying the SHMR
56 scores for each column of the sub-grouped alignment.</p>

65 <strong><em>Note:</em></strong> The Multi-Harmony service is
66 implemented with a prototype of Jalview's RESTful web service client
67 introduced in Jalview 2.7. A few bugs remain in this prototype,
68 which we intend to fixed in version 2.7.1.
