Sequence Fetcher
-The Sequence Fetcher can be started from the main desktop "File" - menu or from a particular alignment window.
-Select which database to fetch your sequence from and enter the sequence id. - If you are retrieving sequences from PDB database and you know which chain you - would like to retrieve, append the chain id after colon to the PDB id. eg 1GAQ:A
-The Sequence Fetcher uses WSDBFetch provided by the European Bioinformatics - Institute. If you use this service please quote:

Sequence Fetcher
+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 sequence command (configured in DAS settings).
+ +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. There may 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. +
+First, select the database you want to retrieve sequences from + by clicking the button labeled 'Select database retrieval source'. If + a database source is already selected, then the button's label will + change to show the currently selected database.
+ +Since Jalview 2.8, the + available databases are shown as a tree in a popup dialog box. The + databases are ordered alphabetically, and if there are many sources + for the same type of sequence identifier, they will be grouped + together in a sub-branch branch labeled with the identifier.
+Once you have selected the sequence database using the popup dialog box, 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.
+Specifying chains for PDB IDs
+ 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 :
1GAQ:A+ +
+ Only retrieving part of a sequence DAS sources
+ (indicated by a "(DAS)") allow a range to be
+ specified in addition to a sequence ID. To retrieve 50 residues
+ starting at position 35 in UNIPROT sequence P73137 using the UNIPROT
+ DAS server, you would enter "'P73137:35,84'.
Full support for DAS range queries was introduced in Jalview 2.8
+
