Web services

Originally Jalview used SRS server to retrieve sequence features for a given alignment. In addition certain remote alignment programs could be called from the Jalview interface and the results displayed in a new alignment panel.

The main emphasis of the current development of the Jalview Project is to implement various sequence alignment programs, tree analysis, PCA algorithms on a large cluster based witihin the Barton Group. Jalview will be able to call these remote procedures without the user having to install any new software.
The main advantage of using these remote web services is that the computing power available is much greater than that of the users work station.
