-<p>Jalview's distributed computations are SOAP based services
-exposing protein sequence alignment and secondary structure prediction
-programs. These services actually run on the cluster based in the School
-of Life Sciences, University of Dundee, and are maintained by the Barton
-group.</p>

-<p>Since version 2.5, Jalview has included a client to enable the
-user to submit one or more sequences or sequence IDs to analysis
-workflows provided by the <a
- href="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/enfin-srv/envision2">EnVision2 web
-application</a>. This allows Jalview users to easily access the EnCore
-network of databases and analysis services developed by ENFIN (<a

-<p><strong>Web Service Dialog Box</strong></p>
-<img src="clwqueued.gif">
-<p>This dialog box is displayed when a web service job is submitted.
-It gives the name of the service and any method citation information,
-and monitors the progress of the calculation. The cancel button will
-permanently cancel the job, but this is only possible for some services.

- <a href="msaclient.html"><strong>Multiple Sequence
- Alignment Services</strong></a>
- <ul>
- <li><a href="clustalw.html">ClustalW Multiple Alignment and
- re-alignment</a><br>
- The clustal W service remains one of the more popular Jalview
- features.</li>
- <li><a href="muscle.html">Muscle Multiple Alignment</a><br>
- High Quality and High Throughput multiple alignments of proteins. This
- method can sometimes be more accurate than ClustalW when dealing with
- diverse sets of sequences.</li>
- <li><a href="mafft.html">MAFFT</a><br>
- Multiple Alignment with Fast Fourier Transforms - a highly accurate
- and high throughput dna and amino acid alignment method, performing at
- least as well as ClustalW and Muscle.</li>
- <li>Other alignment methods are also available via <a

+ web services exposing sequence alignment, analysis, and secondary
