+ <strong>Sequence Features</strong>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Jalview can colour parts of a sequence based on the presence of
+ sequence features - which may be retrieved from database records
+ (such as UniProt), the result of <a href="search.html">sequence
+ motif searches</a> or simply read from a <a href="featuresFormat.html">sequence
+ features file</a>. You can also <a href="creatinFeatures.html">create
+ features</a> from the results of searches or the current selection,
+ and <a href="editingFeatures.html">edit features</a> by double
+ clicking on them.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <strong>Sequence Feature Colouring Styles</strong>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ By default, Jalview will assign a color to each feature based on its
+ type. These colours can be changed from the <a
+ href="featuresettings.html">feature settings</a> and <a
+ href="editingFeatures.html">amend features</a> dialog boxes. Since
+ Jalview 2.5, it is also possible to define <a
+ href="featureschemes.html">feature colourschemes</a> to shade
+ features based on their associated scores or text labels.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <strong>Sequence Feature Groups</strong>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Since Jalview 2.08, sequence features assigned to a sequence can be
+ organised into groups, which may indicate that the features were all
+ retrieved from the same database (such as UniProt features), or
+ generated by the same analysis process (as might be specified in a <a
+ href="featuresFormat.html">sequence features file</a>).
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <strong>Sequence Feature Inheritance</strong>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Since Jalview 2.08, sequence features are <em>global</em> to a set
+ of sequences appearing (independently or together) in many different
+ alignments. Practically, this means features loaded onto one
+ alignment can be viewed in any alignments involving the same
+ sequences. The same sequence appears in different alignments when a
+ new alignment is generated by submitting an existing set of
+ sequences to one of the alignment or prediction web services, and
+ when sequences are copied and pasted into other alignment windows.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <strong>View→Show Sequence Features</strong>
+ </p>
+ <p>Toggle the display of sequence features in this alignment. If
+ feature retrieval has not already been carried out, then Jalview
+ will automatically try to fetch sequence features (as described
+ below).</p>
+ <p>
+ <strong>View→Sequence Feature Settings...</strong>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Once sequence features have been loaded, their display can be fully
+ controlled using the alignment window's <a
+ href="featuresettings.html">Sequence Feature Settings</a>
+ dialog box. Feature colour schemes and display parameters are unique
+ to a particular alignment, so it is possible to colour the same
+ sequence features differently in different alignment views.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <strong>View→Sequence ID Tooltip→Show
+ Non-Positional features</strong><br> <em>Only available in
+ application</em></br>
+ </p>
+ <p>Toggles the display of non-positional features in the sequence
+ ID tooltip, and whether they will be included when sequence features
+ are exported using "File→Export Features".</p>
+ <p>
+ Precalculated Sequence Features may be added to an alignment from
+ the command line, drag and drop, or from the "File→Load
+ Features / Annotations" menu item. See the <a
+ href="featuresFormat.html">Features File Format</a> for more
+ details.
