Sequence Fetcher
-Jalview can retrieve sequences from certain databases via the -WSDBFetch service provided by the European Bioinformatics Institute.
-A Sequence Fetcher dialog box can be opened via the "File" - menu on the main desktop in order to retrieve sequences as a new - alignment, or opened via the "File" menu of an existing alignment - to import additional sequences. -
-Select the database you want to retrieve sequences from, and enter - the database id (or a semi-colon separated list of several ids) in - the text box. Finally, press OK to initiate the retrieval.
-
- If you are retrieving sequences from the PDB, you can retrieve
- specific chains by appending a colon and the chain id to the PDB
- id. For example :
1GAQ:A-

+ Sequence Fetcher +
++ Jalview can retrieve sequences from certain databases using either + the DBFetch service provided by the EMBL European Bioinformatics + Institute, or, since Jalview 2.4, DAS servers capable of the sequence + command (configured in DAS settings). +
+The Sequence Fetcher can be opened via the "File" + menu on the main desktop in order to retrieve sequences as a new + alignment, or opened via the "File" menu of an existing + alignment to import additional sequences. There may be a short delay + when the sequence fetcher is first opened, whilst Jalview compiles + the list of available sequence datasources from the currently + defined DAS server registry.
++ Every time a new fetcher is opened, you will need to select + the database you want to retrieve sequences from the database + chooser. +
+ +
+ The databases are shown as a tree, and ordered alphabetically;
+ tooltips are shown if you mouse over some sources, explaining what
+ the database will retrieve. You can select one by using the up/down
+ arrow keys and hitting return, or by double clicking with the mouse.
+
+ If you have DAS sources enabled, then you may have several
+ sources for the same type of sequence identifier, and these will
+ be grouped together in a sub-branch branch labeled with the
+ identifier.
+
Once you have selected a sequence database, its fetcher dialog + will open. Jalview provides two types of dialog:
++ Only retrieving part of a sequence +
+
+ When using DAS sources (indicated by a "(DAS)"),
+ you can append a range in addition to a sequence ID. For example, to
+ retrieve 50 residues starting at position 35 in UNIPROT sequence
+ P73137 using the UNIPROT DAS server, you would enter
+ "'P73137:35,84'.
Full support for DAS range
+ queries was introduced in Jalview 2.8
