menu obtained by right-clicking the label), or re-ordered by dragging the label to a new
position with the left mouse button.</p>
-<p>Web services can also add annotation to an alignment (see the
- <a href="../webServices/jnet.html">JNet web service</a>), and as of Jalview 2.08 quantitative and symbolic
- annotations can be added to an alignment via an <a href="annotationsFormat.html">Annotations

+<p>
+ Sequence reference annotation is created from 3D structure
+ data, and from the results of sequence based prediction of
+ <a href="../webServices/jnet.html">secondary structure</a> and <a
+ href="../webServices/proteinDisorder.html">disordered region</a>
+ prediction methods.

Annotation rows are added using the <strong>Annotation Label</strong>
area (below the sequence ID area).
