What's new in Jalview 2.10.2 ?
Full details about Jalview 2.10.2 are in the Release Notes, but the
highlights are below.
- New UI, and faster and more configurable implementation for PCA, Neighbour-Joining and UPGMA Trees
Menu entries for calculating PCA and different types of tree have
been replaced by a single Calculations dialog box. The
underlying implementation for the PCA and tree calculations have been
made faster and more memory efficient. A new framework has also been
created for the score models used to calculate distances between
sequences. This framework allows import of substitution matrices in
NCBI and AAIndex format, and custom score models to be created via a
groovy script.
- Update to JABAWS 2.2
Jalview's
alignment, protein conservation analysis, and protein disorder and
RNA secondary structure prediction services are now provided by JABAWS 2.2.
Several of the programs provided as services have been updated, so
their options and parameters have changed.
- New preferences for opening
web pages for database cross-references via the UK Elixir's
EMBL-EBI's MIRIAM database and identifiers.org services.
- Showing and hiding regions
- Hide
insertions in the PopUp menu has changed its behaviour.
Prior to 2.10.2, columns were only shown or hidden according
to gaps in the sequence under the popup menu. Now, only
columns that are gapped in all selected sequences as well as
the sequence under the popup menu are hidden, and column
visibility outside the selected region is left as is. This
makes it easy to filter insertions from the alignment view
(just select the region containing insertions to remove)
without affecting the rest of the hidden columns.
