-DAS Settings
-Jalview can retrieve features from multiple DAS - sources. The DAS sources are selected in the DAS settings panel.
-
-
On start up of the DAS Settings panel, Jalview will use the registry URL (default
- is http://das.sanger.ac.uk/registry/das1/sources/) to retrieve a list of currently
- available DAS sources. These are all listed in the table using the sources'
- Nickname as an identifier.
- Click on a Nickname in the table to reveal more information about that service
- in the panel to the right of the table.
-
You can filter the visible DAS sources by authority, type and "label". - You should read the DAS documentation to understand more about these values. -
Tick the box "Use Source" so that Jalview will use a particular source - when fetching features. -
You can add your own DAS source to the list by clicking the "Add Local - Source" button. Enter the URL and nickname of your additional service. - It should be noted that Jalview 2.1 will not query additional sources for more - information, but this will be implemented in future editions. -

+ Updating the list of sources +
+
+ When the DAS Settings panel is first opened, and when the 'Refresh
+ source' buton is pressed, a list of DAS sources is retrieved from
+ the DAS registry URL. Note that the registry hosted at
+ http://www.dasregistry.org/das/ was retired at the start of 2015. An
+ alternative service is currently hosted at
+ http://www.ebi.ac.uk/das-srv/registry/das/. To connect to this
+ service, ensure your .jalview_properties file includes the following
+ line:
DAS_REGISTRY_URL=http\://www.ebi.ac.uk/das-srv/registry/das/
+
+ Adding your own DAS Sources +
+You can add your own DAS source to the list by clicking the + "Add Local Source" button. Enter the URL and nickname of + your additional service. It should be noted that Jalview 2.1 will + not query additional sources for more information, but this will be + implemented in future editions. +
