+ <strong>What's new in Jalview 2.10.3 ?</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.
+ Version 2.10.3 is due for release in October 2017. The full list of
+ bug fixes and new features can be found in the <a
+ href="releases.html#Jalview.2.10.3"> 2.10.3 Release Notes</a>, but
+ the highlights are below.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <strong><a name="experimental">Experimental Features</a></strong>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ This release of Jalview introduces an <em>Experimental Features</em>
+ option in the Jalview Desktop's <em>Tools</em> menu that allows you
+ to try out features that are still in development. To access the
+ experimental features below - first enable the <strong>Tools→Enable
+ Experimental Features</strong> option, and then restart Jalview.
</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><em>Annotation transfer between Chimera and Jalview</em><br />Two
+ <a href="features/chimera.html#experimental">new entries in
+ the Chimera viewer's Chimera menu</a> allow positional annotation to
+ be exchanged between Chimera and Jalview.</li>
</ul>
