+ Jalview 2.10.2b1 bugfix release
+
+
+ This is patch release for 2.10.2. See the release notes for full
+ details about the bugs addressed. This release also introduces
+ additional improvements to the overview panel, and patches for
+ several minor issues including the ability to correctly recover
+ cross-references for Uniprot protein sequences from Ensembl.

What's new in Jalview 2.10.2 ?
- Full details about Jalview 2.10.2 are in the Release Notes, but the
- highlights are below.
+ Version 2.10.2 was released in August 2017, and introduced new user
+ interface features, improved and more extensible tree and PCA
+ analysis, more robust 3D structure viewing with UCSF Chimera and an
+ updated service client for JABAWS. The full list of bug fixes and
+ new features can be found in the 2.10.2 Release Notes, but
+ the highlights are below.
- - New UI, and faster and more configurable implementation for PCA, Neighbour-Joining and UPGMA Trees
- Menu entries for calculating PCA and different types of tree have
- been replaced by a single Calculations dialog box. The
- underlying implementation for the PCA and tree calculations have been
- made faster and more memory efficient. A new framework has also been
- created for the score models used to calculate distances between
- sequences. This framework allows import of substitution matrices in
- NCBI and AAIndex format, and custom score models to be created via a
- groovy script.

PCA Bug Fixes. Jalview's
+ implementation of PCA differed in its treatment of gaps and
+ non-standard residues. The BLOSUM62 matrix also included a typo
+ that affected results. See the 2.10.2 release note
+ about score model bugs for details and how to reinstate legacy
+ behaviour.
- Update to JABAWS 2.2
Jalview's
alignment, protein conservation analysis, and protein disorder and
RNA secondary structure prediction services are now provided by JABAWS 2.2.
- Several of the programs provided as services have been updated, so
- their options and parameters have changed.
- - New preferences for opening
- web pages for database cross-references via the UK Elixir's
- EMBL-EBI's MIRIAM database and identifiers.org services.
-
- - Showing and hiding regions
-
- - Hide
- insertions in the PopUp menu has changed its behaviour.
- Prior to 2.10.2, columns were only shown or hidden according
- to gaps in the sequence under the popup menu. Now, only
- columns that are gapped in all selected sequences as well as
- the sequence under the popup menu are hidden, and column
- visibility outside the selected region is left as is. This
- makes it easy to filter insertions from the alignment view
- (just select the region containing insertions to remove)
- without affecting the rest of the hidden columns.

+ - Showing and hiding regions
Hide insertions in the
+ PopUp menu has changed its behaviour. Prior to 2.10.2, columns
+ were only shown or hidden according to gaps in the sequence under
+ the popup menu. Now, only columns that are gapped in all selected
+ sequences as well as the sequence under the popup menu are hidden,
+ and column visibility outside the selected region is left as is.
+ This makes it easy to filter insertions from the alignment view
+ (just select the region containing insertions to remove) without
+ affecting the rest of the hidden columns.
+ - Gap count - a.k.a. the Occupancy
+ Annotation Row
Another way to filter columns according to
+ the presence of gaps is to enable the Occupancy
+ Annotation row via Jalview's Preferences. This annotation row
+ shows a histogram of the number of aligned residues at each
+ column. The Select
+ By Annotation dialog now also includes a percentage threshold
+ mode, to make it easy to filter alignments to show only those
+ columns with a particular fraction of aligned sequences.
+ - Recent search history for Find, PDBe and
+ Uniprot
Easily repeat a previous search for Find and the free
+ text search system (for querying Uniprot and the PDBe).
+ - Improved Overview Window
The alignment overview is now easier
+ to use when working with alignments of more than 5000 rows and
+ columns, and features a new pop-up menu that allows hidden regions
+ to be excluded from the overview. It also works with CDS/Protein
+ alignments and MSA views in wrapped mode.
+ - 3D Structure
Jalview's communication
+ with UCSF Chimera has been made more robust, particularly when
+ working with many structures and long sequences. Regions in
+ structures that correspond to hidden regions in an alignment view
+ are now left un-coloured, making it easier to highlight specific
+ features in 3D. See below for experimental
+ features for exchanging annotation between Chimera and Jalview.
+ Scripting
New groovy examples
+ demonstrate Jalview 2.10.2 APIs for creation of data-driven
+ colourschemes, and custom alignment file handlers. The FeatureAnnotationWorker
+ introduced in Jalview 2.10 has also been refactored to allow
+ efficient counting across multiple feature types. Please be aware
+ that feature counter scripts created for earlier versions will not
+ execute in Jalview 2.10.2.
