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"
42 >neighbour-joining or UPGMA tree</a> routines to calculate a tree for
43 the alignment, and then click on the tree to subdivide the
47 The SHMR service operates on the currently selected visible
48 region(s) of the alignment. Once submitted, a job progress window
49 will display status information about your job, including a URL
50 which allows you to visit the status page on the <a
51 href="http://zeus.few.vu.nl/programs/shmrwww/"
52 >IBIVU SHMR server</a>.
54 <p>When the job is complete, Jalview will automatically open a new
55 window containing the alignment and groups that were submitted for
56 analysis, with additional histograms added portraying the SHMR
57 scores for each column of the sub-grouped alignment.</p>

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