27 <strong>Welcome to Jalview Version $$Version-Rel$$ !!</strong><br/>
33 This release series provides support for two popular 3D
34 structure visualisation tools, new features for discovery of 3D
35 structures, improved platform integration and a new command line
36 tool allowing Jalview to be more easily called from scripts.</p>
39 <strong>View predicted protein structures via 3D-Beacons</strong> <br>
40 Jalview 2.11.2's <a href="features/structurechooser.html">Structure
41 Chooser includes a client for the 3D-Beacons Network</a>. Launched in
42 2021, the 3D-Beacons network (<a
43 href="https://www.ebi.ac.uk/pdbe/pdbe-kb/3dbeacons/">www.ebi.ac.uk/pdbe/pdbe-kb/3dbeacons/</a>)
44 provides a central point for the retrieval of predicted and observed
45 3D structures for sequences in Uniprot, including homology models
46 from Swiss-model and deep learning based predictions from the EBI's
47 Alphafold database (Orengo et al. 2020, <a
48 href="https://doi.org/10.12688/f1000research.20559.1">doi:10.12688/f1000research.20559.1</a>).<br>
52 <strong>Support for viewing structures with ChimeraX and
53 Pymol</strong><br> Jalview's 3D structure viewer system has been
54 re-architected to allow easier integration of external structure
55 viewers, and takes advantage of the strucViz2 Chimera communications
56 library developed by Scooter Morris (<a
57 href="https://doi.org/10.1093/bioinformatics/btm329">doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btm329</a>).<br /> <br />
58 The <a href="features/preferences.html#structure">Structures
59 Preferences tab</a> provides new options allowing ChimeraX and
60 Pymol to be used for visualising external 3D structures. Views
61 from all structure viewers are saved in Jalview Projects, allowing
62 them to be shared with others using Jalview 2.11.2 or later,
63 providing they have the same viewer installed and configured to be
64 used with Jalview.<br/><br/>Jalview
65 2.11.2 has been tested with <strong>Pymol 2.5.0 (community)</strong> and <strong>2.5.2
66 (incentive)</strong>. For <strong>ChimeraX, we recommend using v1.3 or later</strong>.
68 <p>Other highlights include:</p>
70 <li>Import of annotated DNA and RNA loci via GenBank and EMBL
72 <li><strong>Easier configuration of <a
73 href="features/preferences.html#startup">Jalview's memory
74 allocation</a></strong></li>
75 <li>Scripts for <a href="features/commandline.html">running
76 Jalview via the command line</a> on macOS, Linux/Unix and Windows.
82 For the full details, see <a
83 href="releases.html#Jalview.2.11.2.1">the Jalview 2.11.2.1
87 <strong>Known Issues</strong> <br />The following known issues will
88 be addressed in a minor patch release.
91 <li>Display of RESNUM sequence features are not suppressed when
92 structures associated with a sequence are viewed with an external
93 viewer (Regression from 2.11.1 series)</li>
