+ 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. +

+ Database selection dialog for fetching sequences (introduced in Jalview 2.8) +

+ 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:

+
    +
  1. The Free-text Search Interface
    Free-text + search clients are provided for PDB (Since 2.9), and UniProt + (Since 2.10). They provide access to each database's own query + system, enabling you to retrieve data by accession, free text + description, or any other type of supported field. For full + details, see each client's help page: +
  2. +
  3. Accession based sequence retrieval
    + + The Jalview Sequence Fetcher Dialog Box
    To + retrieve sequences, simply enter one or more + accession ids (as a semi-colon separated list), or press the + "Example" button to paste the example accession for the + currently selected database into the retrieval box. Finally, press + "OK" to initiate the retrieval.
  4. +
+

+ 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 +
