-<p><strong>Web services</strong></p>\r
-<p>Originally Jalview used SRS server to retrieve sequence features for a given\r
- alignment. In addition certain remote alignment programs could be called from\r
- the Jalview interface and the results displayed in a new alignment panel. </p>\r
-<p>Jalview's web based computations are now being developed further,\r
- using SOAP based services to expose protein sequence alignment and\r
- secondary structure prediction programs. These services actually run\r
- on the cluster based in Dundee, and maintained by the Barton group.\r
-</p><p>In the future, Jalview will be able to discover services\r
- dynamically, and the repertoire will include methods for repeat\r
- analysis, sequence identification and remote homology\r
- detection. The web service methodology will also allow potentially\r
- expensive Jalview analysis functions like <a\r
- href="../calculations/pca.html">PCA</a> to be distributed, if\r
- necessary, when the user is dealing with very large numbers of sequences.</p>\r

+ <p>
+ <strong>Web services</strong>
+ </p>
+
+ <p>Jalview includes clients for a variety of web services for both
+ bioinformatic data retrieval and analysis.
+ <ul>
+ <li>The <a href="../features/seqfetch.html">Sequence Fetcher</a>
+ utilises web services for sequence, alignment and structure retrieval
+ provided by the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) and
+ Distributed Annotation System servers that are capable of serving
+ sequences.</li>
+ <li>The <a href="../features/dasfeatures.html">DAS Feature
+ Fetcher</a> enables the retrieval and visualization of features from DAS
+ annotation sources</li>
+ <li>The <a href="dbreffetcher.html">Database Reference
+ Fetcher</a> transfers database references from records available from
+ DAS or the public sequence databases.</li>
+ <li>The <strong>Web Services</strong> menu in each alignment
+ window also provides access to the following:
+ <ul>
+ <li>Programs for <a href="msaclient.html">multiple sequence
+ alignment</a>, made available <em>via</em> <a href="JABAWS.html">Java
+ Bioinformatic Analysis Web Service (JABAWS)</a> servers.</li>
+ <li>Jalview SOAP Web Services for <a href="jnet.html">secondary
+ structure prediction</a> based at the University of Dundee.</li>
+ <li>Services for alignment analysis, such as <a
+ href="shmr.html">Multi-Harmony</a>.
+ <li>Services for submitting IDs and sequences to external
+ bioinformatics services such as Envision2 (see <a href="#envision2">below</a>).</li>
+ </ul>
+ <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.</p> The <a href="webServicesPrefs.html">Web
+ Services Preference panel</a> controls the display and appearance of the
+ submission and analysis services in the <strong>Web Services</strong>
+ menu.</li>
+ <li>If Jalview encounters problems accessing any services, it may
+ display a <a href="webServicesPrefs.html#wswarnings">warning
+ dialog box</a> (this can be turned off using the web services
+ preferences tab).</li>
+ </ul>
+ </p>

+ <strong>More about Jalview's Web Services</strong> <br> Jalview's
+ distributed computations utilise <a
+ href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOAP">SOAP</a> and <a
+ href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_State_Transfer">REST</a>
+ web services exposing sequence alignment, analysis, and secondary
+ structure prediction programs. Originally, Jalview 2's services were
+ maintained by the Barton group at the University of Dundee, and ran
+ programs on the Life Sciences High-performace Computing Cluster. With
+ the advent of <a href="http://www.compbio.dundee.ac.uk/JABAWS">JABAWS</a>,
+ however, it is possible for anyone to host Jalview web services.

+ <strong><a name="envision2">Envision2 Services</a>
+ </strong>
+ </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
+ href="http://www.enfin.org">www.enfin.org</a>).
