+ <strong>What's new in Jalview 2.10 ?</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.
</p>
- <p>
- <strong>Highlights in Jalview 2.10</strong>
<ul>
- <li><strong>Ensembl sequence fetcher.</strong> Annotated Genes, transcripts and
- proteins can be retrieved via Jalview's new Ensembl REST client.</li>
- <li><strong>Improved sequence/structure mappings.</strong>
- Jalview now utilises the PDBe's SIFTS database (at EMBL-EBI) to
- match PDB data positions in UniProt sequences.</li>
+ <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>
</ul>
