Web services
-Originally Jalview used SRS server to retrieve sequence features for a given - alignment. In addition certain remote alignment programs could be called from - the Jalview interface and the results displayed in a new alignment panel.
-Jalview's web based computations are now being developed further, - using SOAP based services to expose protein sequence alignment and - secondary structure prediction programs. These services actually run - on the cluster based in Dundee, and maintained by the Barton group. -
In the future, Jalview will be able to discover services - dynamically, and the repertoire will include methods for repeat - analysis, sequence identification and remote homology - detection. The web service methodology will also allow potentially - expensive Jalview analysis functions like PCA to be distributed, if - necessary, when the user is dealing with very large numbers of sequences.
- - + + + ++ Web services +
+ +Jalview includes clients for a variety of web services for both + bioinformatic data retrieval and analysis. +
+ 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. +
+ 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.
