  - Jalview can view trees stored in the Newick - file format, and associate them with the alignment. Note: the ids of the - tree file and your alignment MUST be the same.
- Load Features / Annotations
  - Load files describing precalculated sequence - features or alignment - annotations.
- Close
  - Close the alignment window. Make sure you have saved your - alignment before you close - either as a Jalview project or by using the - Save As menu.
  -
-
Edit -
- Undo
  - This will undo any edits you make to the alignment. This applies to insertion - or deletion of gaps, cutting residues or sequences from the alignment - or pasting sequences to the current alignment or sorting the alignment. - NOTE: It DOES NOT undo colour changes, adjustments to - group sizes, or changes to the annotation panel.
- Redo
  - Any actions which you undo can be redone using redo.
- Cut
  - This will make a copy of the currently selected residues - before removing them from your alignment. Click on a sequence name if - you wish to select a whole sequence.
  - Use <CTRL> and X (<APPLE> and X on MacOSX) to cut.
- Copy
  - Copies the currently selected residues to the system clipboard - you - can also do this by pressing <CTRL> and C (<APPLE> and C on - MacOSX).
  - If you try to paste the clipboard contents to a text editor, you will - see the format of the copied residues FASTA.
- Paste -
  - To New Alignment
    - A new alignment window will be created from sequences - previously copied or cut to the system clipboard.
    - Use <CTRL> and V(<APPLE> and V on MacOSX) to paste.
  - Add To This Alignment
    - Copied sequences from another alignment window can be - added to the current Jalview alignment.
  -
- Delete
  - This will delete the currently selected residues without - copying them to the clipboard. Like the other edit operations, this can - be undone with Undo.
- Select All
  - Selects all the sequences and residues in the alignment. -
  - Use <CTRL> and A (<APPLE> and A on a MacOSX) to select all.
- Deselect All
  - Removes the current selection box (red dashed box) from the - alignment window. All selected sequences, residues and marked columns - will be deselected.
  - Use <ESCAPE> to deselect all.
- Invert Selection
  - Any sequence ids currently not selected will replace the - current selection.
- Undefine Groups
  - The alignment will be reset with no defined groups.
  - WARNING: This cannot be undone.
- Remove Left
  - If the alignment has marked columns, the alignment will be - trimmed to the left of the leftmost marked column. To mark a column, mouse - click the scale bar above the alignment. Click again to unmark a column, - or select "Deselect All" to deselect all columns.
- Remove Right
  - If the alignment has marked columns, the alignment will be - trimmed to the left of the leftmost marked column. To mark a column, mouse - click the scale bar above the alignment. Click again to unmark a column, - or select "Deselect All" to deselect all columns.
- Remove Empty Columns
  - All columns which only contain gap characters ("-", - ".") will be deleted.
  - You may set the default gap character in preferences. -
- Remove All Gaps
  - Gap characters ("-", ".") will be deleted from - the selected area of the alignment. If no selection is made, ALL the gaps - in the alignment will be removed.
  - You may set the default gap character in preferences. -
- Remove Redundancy
  - Selecting this option brings up a window asking you to select - a threshold. If the percentage identity between any two sequences (under - the current alignment) exceeds this value then one of the sequences (the - shorter) is discarded. Press the "Apply" button to remove redundant - sequences. The "Undo" button will undo the last redundancy deletion.
- Pad Gaps
  - When selected, the alignment will be kept at minimal - width (so there no empty columns before or after the first or last aligned - residue) and all sequences will be padded with gap characters to - the before and after their terminating residues.
  - This switch is useful when making a tree using unaligned - sequences and when working with alignment analysis programs which - require 'properly aligned sequences' to be all the same length.
  - You may set the default for Pad Gaps in the preferences. -
-
Search -
- Find
  - Select this to search - for residues, sequence name or residue position within the - alignment and create new sequence features from the queries. -
  -
-
View -
- Font
  - Change the font of the display from the "Choose Font" - dialog box, which is shown when this item is selected.
- Smooth Fonts
  - If selected, the alignment will be drawn with anti-aliasing on which looks - better, but performace is reduced. -
- Wrap
  - When ticked, the alignment display is "wrapped" - to the width of the alignment window. This is useful if your alignment - has only a few sequences to view its full width at once.
  - Options are available to show the residue numbering at the start and/or - end of an alignment as well as showing the alignment position above each - sequence row.
  - NOTE: When in wrapped alignment view, the alignment cannot - be edited or have regions selected on it.
- Show Full Sequence ID
  - If this box is selected the sequence name will have the start - and end position of the sequence appended to the name, in the format NAME/START-END
- Boxes
  - If this is selected the background of a residue will be coloured using - the selected background colour. Useful if used in conjunction with "Colour - Text."
- Text
  - If this is selected the residues will be displayed using - the standard 1 character amino acid alphabet.
- Colour Text
  - If this is selected the residues will be coloured according - to the background colour associated with that residue. The colour is slightly - darker than background so the amino acid symbol remains visible.
- Show Gaps
  - When this is selected, gap characters will be displayed as - "." or "-". If unselected, then gap characters will - appear as blank spaces.
  - You may set the default gap character in preferences.
- Show Annotations
  - If this is selected the "Annotation Panel" will - be displayed below the alignment. The default setting is to display the - conservation calculation, quality calculation and consensus values as - bar charts.
- Fetch Sequence Features
  - If the sequence names are Swissprot entries Jalview will - use the names to retrieve sequence - features from the EBI. Features which are 1 residue in length are - coloured red, sequences longer than 1 residue are coloured blue. Move - the mouse over a coloured feature to display the details of the feature. -
  - Note: The retrieved information will update the sequence start and end - labels if they are incorrect.
- Show Sequence Features
  Show or - hide sequence features on this alignment.
- Seqence Feature Settings...
  - Control the colour and display of sequence features on the - alignment. See Sequence Feature Settings.
  -

-
Colour -
- Apply Colour To All Groups
  - If this is selected, any changes made to the background colour - will be applied to all currently defined groups.
- Colour Scheme options: None, ClustalX, Blosum62 Score, Percentage - Identity, Zappo, Taylor, Hydrophobicity, Helix Propensity, Strand Propensity, - Turn Propensity, Buried Index, Nucleotide, User Defined
  - See colours for - a description of all colour schemes.
- By Conservation

- Modify Identity Threshold
  - Use this to set the threshold value for colouring above Identity. - Useful if the window has been closed.
  -
- By Annotation
  - Colours the alignment on a per-column value from a specified annotation. - See Annotation Colouring.
  -
-
Calculate -
- Sort -
  - by ID
    - This will sort the sequences according to sequence name. If the sort - is repeated, the order of the sorted sequences will be inverted.
  - by Group
    - This will sort the sequences according to sequence name. - If the sort is repeated, the order of the sorted sequences will be - inverted.
  - by Pairwise Identity
    - This will sort the selected sequences by their percentage - identity to the consensus sequence. The most similar sequence is put - at the top.
  - The Sort menu will - have some additional options if you have just done a multiple alignment - calculation, or opened a tree viewer window.
  -
- Calculate Tree
  - Functions for calculating trees on the alignment or the currently - selected region. See calculating trees. -
  - Average Distance Using % Identity
  - Neighbour Joining Using % Identity
  - Average Distance Using Blosum62
  - Neighbour Joining Using Blosum62
  -
- Pairwise Alignments
  - Applies Smith and Waterman algorithm to selected sequences. See pairwise - alignments.
- Principal Component Analysis
  - Shows a spatial clustering of the sequences based on the BLOSUM62 - scores in the alignment. See Principal - Component Analysis.
- Translate cDNA
  - If you are viewing a cDNA alignment a very simple translation service - is available. The translation ignores all gaps in the cDNA sequences. -
  -
-
Web Service
- Selecting one of the following menu items starts a remote service - on compute facilities at the University of Dundee. You need a continuous network - connection in order to use these services through Jalview. -
- Alignment -
  - ClustalW Multiple Sequence Alignment
    - Submits all, or just the currently selected sequences for alignment - with clustal W.
  - ClustalW Multiple Sequence Alignment Realign
    - Submits the alignment or currently selected region for re-alignment - with clustal W. Use this if you have added some new sequences to an - existing alignment.
  - Muscle Multiple Protein Sequence Alignment
    - Submits all, or jut the currently selected sequences for alignment - using Muscle. Do not use this if you are working with nucleic acid - sequences.
  -
- Secondary Structure Prediction -
  - JPred Secondary Structure Prediction
    - Secondary structure prediction by network consensus. The behaviour - of this calculation depends on the current selection:
  - If nothing is selected, and the displayed sequences appear to - be aligned, then a JNet prediction will be run for the first sequence - in the alignment, using the current alignment. Otherwise the first - sequence will be submitted for prediction.
  - If just one sequence (or a region on one sequence) has been - selected, it will be submitted to the automatic JNet prediction server - for homolog detection and prediction.
  - If a set of sequences are selected, and they appear to be aligned, - then the alignment will be used for a Jnet prediction on the first - sequence selected in the set (that is, the one that was first clicked - on).

This menu + is dynamic, and may contain user-defined web service entries in + addition to any of the following ones: +
- Fetch DB References
  This + submenu contains options for accessing any of the database + services that Jalview is aware of (e.g. DAS sequence servers + and the WSDBFetch service provided by the EBI) to verify + sequence start/end positions and retrieve all database cross + references and PDB ids associated with all or just the + selected sequences in the alignment. +
  +
  'Trim Retrieved Sequences' - when checked, Jalview + will discard any additional sequence data for accessions + associated with sequences in the alignment.
  Note: + Disabling this could cause out of memory errors when + working with genomic sequence records !
  Added + in Jalview 2.8.1 +
  +
  'Standard Databases' will check sequences against + the EBI databases plus any active DAS sequence sources
  +
  Other sub-menus allow you to pick a specific source to query + - sources are listed alphabetically according to their + nickname. +
+
Selecting items from the following submenus will start a + remote service on compute facilities at the University of Dundee, + or elsewhere. You need a continuous network connection in order to + use these services through Jalview.
+
- Alignment
  Align the + currently selected sequences or all sequences in the + alignment, or re-align unaligned sequences to the aligned + sequences. Entries in this menu provide access to the various + alignment programs supported by JABAWS. See the + Multiple Sequence + Alignment webservice client entry for more information. +
- Secondary Structure Prediction +
  - JPred Secondary Structure Prediction
    + Secondary structure prediction by network + consensus. See the Jpred + client entry for more information. The behaviour of this + calculation depends on the current selection: +
    +
    If nothing is selected, and the displayed + sequences appear to be aligned, then a JPred prediction + will be run for the first sequence in the alignment, + using the current alignment. Otherwise the first + sequence will be submitted for prediction.
    +
    If just one sequence (or a region on one + sequence) has been selected, it will be submitted to + the automatic JPred prediction server for homolog + detection and prediction.
    +
    If a set of sequences are selected, and they + appear to be aligned, then the alignment will be used + for a JPred prediction on the first + sequence in the set (that is, the one that appears + first in the alignment window). +
    +

- Analysis
  +
  - Multi-Harmony
    Performs + functional residue analysis on a protein family alignment + with sub-families defined on it. See the Multi-Harmony + service entry for more information. +
