+ Web services +

+ +

Jalview includes clients for a variety of web services for both + bioinformatic data retrieval and analysis. +

The Sequence + Fetcher 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. +
The DAS Feature + Fetcher enables the retrieval and visualization of features from + DAS annotation sources +
The Database Reference + Fetcher transfers database references from records available + from DAS or the public sequence databases. +
The Web Services menu in each alignment + window also provides access to the following: +
- Programs for multiple + sequence alignment, made available via Java Bioinformatic Analysis + Web Service (JABAWS) servers. +
- Jalview SOAP Web Services for secondary + structure prediction based at the University of Dundee. +
- Services for alignment analysis, such as Multi-Harmony. +
+
+ Web Service Dialog Box +
+
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.
The Web Services Preference + panel controls the display and appearance of the submission and + analysis services in the Web Services menu. +
If Jalview encounters problems accessing any services, it + may display a warning + dialog box (this can be turned off using the web services + preferences tab). +

+ More about Jalview's Web Services
+ Jalview's distributed computations utilise SOAP and REST + 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-performance Computing Cluster. + With the advent of JABAWS, + however, it is possible for anyone to host Jalview web services. +
