+ <strong>Sequence Fetcher</strong>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Jalview can retrieve sequences from certain databases using either
+ the DBFetch service provided by the EMBL European Bioinformatics
+ Institute, or, since Jalview 2.4, DAS servers capable of the <em>sequence</em>
+ command (configured in <a href="dassettings.html">DAS settings</a>).
+ </p>
+ <p>The Sequence Fetcher can be opened via the "File"
+ menu on the main desktop in order to retrieve sequences as a new
+ alignment, or opened via the "File" menu of an existing
+ alignment to import additional sequences. There may be a short delay
+ when the sequence fetcher is first opened, whilst Jalview compiles
+ the list of available sequence datasources from the currently
+ defined DAS server registry.</p>
+ <p>
+ Every time a new fetcher is opened, you will need to <strong>select
+ the database you want to retrieve sequences</strong> from the database
+ chooser.
+ </p>
+ <img src="selectfetchdb.gif" align="left" width="480" height="204"
+ alt="Database selection dialog for fetching sequences (introduced in Jalview 2.8)">
+ <p>
+ The databases are shown as a tree, and ordered alphabetically;
+ tooltips are shown if you mouse over some sources, explaining what
+ the database will retrieve. You can select one by using the up/down
+ arrow keys and hitting return, or by double clicking with the mouse.
+ <br />
+ <em>If you have DAS sources enabled, then you may have several
+ sources for the same type of sequence identifier, and these will
+ be grouped together in a sub-branch branch labeled with the
+ identifier.</em>
+ </p>
+ <p>Once you have selected a sequence database, its fetcher dialog
+ will open. Jalview provides two types of dialog:</p>
+ <ol>
+ <li><strong>The Free-text Search Interface</strong> <br />Free-text
+ search clients are provided for PDB (Since 2.9), and UniProt
+ (Since 2.10). They provide access to each database's own query
+ system, enabling you to retrieve data by accession, free text
+ description, or any other type of supported field. For full
+ details, see each client's help page:
+ <ul>
+ <li><a href="pdbsequencefetcher.html">PDB Sequence
+ Fetcher</a></li>
+ <li><a href="uniprotsequencefetcher.html">UniProt
+ Sequence Fetcher</a></li>
+ </ul></li>
+ <li><strong>Accession based sequence retrieval</strong> <br />
+
+ <img src="seqfetcher.gif" align="center"
+ alt="The Jalview Sequence Fetcher Dialog Box"><br /> To
+ retrieve sequences, simply <strong>enter one or more
+ accession ids</strong> (as a semi-colon separated list), or press the
+ "Example" button to paste the example accession for the
+ currently selected database into the retrieval box. Finally, press
+ "OK" to initiate the retrieval.</li>
+ </ol>
+ <p>
+ <strong>Only retrieving part of a sequence</strong>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ When using DAS sources (indicated by a "<em>(DAS)</em>"),
+ you can append a range in addition to a sequence ID. For example, to
+ retrieve 50 residues starting at position 35 in UNIPROT sequence
+ P73137 using the UNIPROT DAS server, you would enter
+ "'P73137:35,84'.<br /> <em>Full support for DAS range
+ queries was introduced in Jalview 2.8</em>
+ </p>

+ UniProt, PFAM, and RFAM) in work for publication, please cite:</p>
