+ <strong>What's new in Jalview 2.10.1 ?</strong>
</p>
<p>
- Jalview 2.10 is the next major release in the Jalview 2 series. Full
- details are in the <a href="releases.html#Jalview.2.10.0">Jalview
- 2.10 Release Notes</a>, but the highlights are below.
+ Jalview 2.10.1 was released on 24th November 2016. Full details are
+ in the <a href="releases.html#Jalview.2.10.1">Jalview 2.10.1
+ Release Notes</a>, but the highlights are below. This is also the
+ first release to include contributions from Kira Mourão, who
+ joined Jalview's core development team in October 2016.
</p>
<ul>
- <li><strong>Ensembl sequence fetcher</strong><br />Annotated
- Genes, transcripts and proteins can be retrieved via Jalview's new
- <a href="features/ensemblsequencefetcher.html">Ensembl REST
- client</a>. Support for import of Ensembl data allows:
- <ul>
- <li><strong>Aligned locus view</strong><br />Transcripts
- retrieved for a gene identifier via the Ensembl or
- EnsemblGenomes sequence databases are automatically aligned to
- their reference genome, and introns hidden from the view.</li>
- <li><strong>Sequence variant data</strong><br />Jalview
- propagates variant annotation on genomic regions onto
- transcripts and protein products, complete with associated
- metadata such as clinical significance.</li>
- </ul></li>
- <li><strong>Ensembl and ENA 'show cross-references'
- support</strong><br />The Calculations menu's <strong>'Show
- cross-references'</strong> now offers Ensembl as well as EMBLCDS and
- Uniprot when CDS/Protein mapping data is available for download or
- display. This allows variant annotation to be added directly to an
- alignment of UniProt sequences.</li>
- <li><strong>Working with structures</strong>
- <ul>
- <li><strong>More accurate structure mappings</strong><br />
- Jalview now utilises the PDBe's SIFTS database (at EMBL-EBI)
- to <a href="features/siftsmapping.html">match structures
- to UniProt sequences</a>, even for structures containing
- multiple copies of a sequence.</li>
- <li><strong>Import structures as mmCIF</strong><br />Jalview
- now downloads data from the EMBL-EBI's PDBe site as <a
- href="features/mmcif.html">mmCIF</a>. This allows very large
- structures to be imported, such as the HIV virus capsid
- assembly.</li>
- <li><strong>Chimera users will need to upgrade to
- 1.11.1</strong><br />If you use Chimera to view structures
- downloaded by Jalview 2.10, you will need to make sure you are
- running the latest version of <a href="features/chimera.html">Chimera</a>.</li>
- </ul></li>
- <li><strong>UniProt Free Text Search</strong><br />The new
- search dialog for UniProt allows you to browse and retrieve
- sequences with free-text search, or structured queries.</li>
- <li><strong>Reference sequence alignment view</strong><br />
- Jalview 2.9 introduced support for reference sequences. In 2.10,
- when a reference sequence is defined for the alignment, the
- alignment column ruler is now numbered according to the reference
- sequence. The reference sequence for alignment views can also be
- saved and restored from Jalview projects.</li>
+ <li><strong>More memory efficient</strong><br />We've slimmed
+ down the consensus analysis data structures used by Jalview so
+ even wider alignments can be worked with.</li>
+ <li><strong>Select highlighted region</strong><br />Press 'B'
+ or use the new menu option in the alignment window's Select menu
+ to mark columns containing highlighted regions generated from
+ structure selections, mouse-overs, or resulting from a Find
+ operation.</li>
+ <li><strong>New custom link mechanism for opening URLs
+ for database cross references.</strong><br /> If you have customised URL
+ links in your Jalview preferences, then you may already have seen
+ the <a href="#warning"> warning dialog (see below).</a></li>
+ <li><strong>New command line export option for BioJS
+ MSAviewer</strong><br />A number of small bugs with the HTML export
+ functions from the Jalview desktop were also fixed.</li>
+ <li><strong>Small but significant changes to the
+ physicochemical properties and consensus calculations</strong><br />Threonine
+ is no longer considered a non-hydrophobic residue in the protein
+ conservation calculation, and minor bugs addressed in PID and
+ consensus colouring.</li>
+ <li><strong>Correct display of disulphide bond
+ features</strong><br /> In linked structure views, Jalview would
+ highlight all residues between in addition to the two linked
+ cysteines. The 'select columns by feature' function in the feature
+ settings would also select all intermediate columns.
</ul>
+ <p>
+ <strong><a name="warning">Warning dialog about updating
+ your configured URL links</a></strong><br /> In the desktop prior to Jalview
+ 2.10.1, the only way to configure custom links for a particular
+ database cross-reference for a sequence was to give it a name that <em>exactly</em>
+ matched the database source, and a regular expression for filtering
+ out any spurious matches generated when the custom linked was tested
+ against the Sequence's ID string. Since the introduction of the
+ $DB_ACCESSION$ token, however, $SEQUENCE_ID$ will not be used for
+ database cross-reference accession strings, and if you have custom
+ links configured, Jalview will raise a warning message so let you
+ know that you may need to update your links to use $DB_ACCESSION$.
