<p><strong>Sequence Fetcher</strong></p>
-<p>Jalview can retrieve sequences from certain databases using either the
-WSDBFetch service provided by the European Bioinformatics Institute, and, since Jalview 2.4, DAS servers capable of the <em>sequence</em> command (configured in <a href="dassettings.html">DAS settings</a>).</p>
-<img src="seqfetcher.gif" align="center" alt="The Jalview Sequence Fetcher Dialog Box">
-<p>The Sequence Fetcher dialog box 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. Please note, there will 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.</strong>

+Jalview compiles the list of available sequence datasources from the

+<p>First, select the database you want to retrieve sequences from.
+Then, enter one or more accession ids (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.</p>
+<p><em>Fetching Individual PDB Chains</em><br>
+If you are retrieving sequences from the PDB, you can retrieve specific
+chains by appending a colon and the chain id to the PDB id. For example
+:<br>
+<pre> 1GAQ:A</pre>
+</p>
+<p><em>Retrieving parts of large sequence records</em><br>
+When retrieving from DAS sequence sources, coordinate range arguments
+can be passed to the server using the standard DAS sequence command
+format:<pre>
+ <AccessionId>:<start>,<end></pre> If you know a source
+understands this type of query format, then you should untick the
+checkbox for 'replace commas with semi-colons' so the range query can be
+passed to the server; otherwise, the query will be split into two (e.g
+'Mito:1' and '85779' rather than 'Mito:1,85779'). In most cases,
+however, a source that supports range queries will include a range
+qualification in its example query, and Jalview will then automatically
+disable the 'replace commas with semi-colons' option.<br>
+<em>The option to disable the comma to semi-colon translation was
+added in Jalview 2.6</em></p>
