26 history</a> for the bugs that this release resolves.</p>
27 <p><strong>Highlights in Jalview Version 2.5</strong></p>
29 Linked viewing of nucleic acid sequences and structures<br/>
30 Automatic Scrolling option in View menu to display the
31 currently highlighted region of an alignment.<br/>
32 Order an alignment by sequence length, or using the average score or total feature count for each sequence.<br/>
33 Shading features by score or associated description<br/>
34 Subdivide alignment and groups based on identity of selected subsequence (Make Groups from Selection).<br/>
35 New hide/show options including Shift+Control+H to hide everything but the currently selected region.<br/>
37 <em>Jalview Desktop:</em>
39 Fetch DB References capabilities and UI expanded to support
40 retrieval from DAS sequence sources<br/>
41 Enable or disable non-positional feature and database
42 references in sequence ID tooltip from View menu in application.<br/>
43 Group-associated consensus, sequence logos and conservation
45 Symbol distributions for each column can be exported and
46 visualized as sequence logos<br/>
47 Jalview Java Console<br/>
48 New webservice for submitting sequences and IDs to <a
49 href="webServices/index.html#envision2">Envision2</a> Workflows<br/>
50 Improved VAMSAS synchronization and sharing of selections.<br/>
54 Middle button resizes annotation row height<br/>
55 New Parameters - including default tree display settings.<br/>
56 Non-positional features displayed in ID tooltip<br/>
58 <p><strong>Issues Resolved (a select list)</strong></p>
61 Source field in GFF files parsed as feature source rather
63 Non-positional features are now included in sequence feature
64 and gff files (controlled via non-positional feature visibility in
66 URL links generated for all feature links (bugfix)<br/>
67 Codons containing ambiguous nucleotides translated as 'X' in
69 Match case switch in find dialog box works for both sequence
70 ID and sequence string and query strings do not have to be in upper
71 case to match case-insensitively.<br/>
72 Jalview Annotation File generation/parsing consistent with
73 documentation (e.g. Stockholm annotation can be exported and
75 Find incrementally searches ID string matches as well as
76 subsequence matches, and correctly reports total number of both.<br/>
78 <em>Desktop Issues</em>
80 Better handling of exceptions during sequence retrieval<br/>
81 PDB files retrieved from URLs are cached properly<br/>
82 Sequence description lines properly shared via VAMSAS<br/>
83 Sequence fetcher fetches multiple records for all data
85 Ensured that command line das feature retrieval completes
86 before alignment figures are generated.<br/>
87 Reduced time taken when opening file browser for first time.<br/>
88 User defined group colours properly recovered from Jalview projects.<br/>
