Sequence Fetcher
+Jalview can retrieve sequences from certain databases using +either the WSDBFetch service provided by the European Bioinformatics +Institute, and, since Jalview 2.4, DAS servers capable of the sequence +command (configured in DAS settings).
+ +The 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. Please note, there +will 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.
+First, select the database you want to retrieve sequences from. +Then, 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.
+Fetching Individual PDB Chains
+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+ +
Retrieving parts of large sequence records
+When retrieving from DAS sequence sources, coordinate range arguments
+can be passed to the server using the standard DAS sequence command
+format:
+ <AccessionId>:<start>,<end>If you know a source +understands this type of query format, then you should untick the +checkbox for 'replace commas with semi-colons' so the range query can be +passed to the server; otherwise, the query will be split into two (e.g +'Mito:1' and '85779' rather than 'Mito:1,85779'). In most cases, +however, a source that supports range queries will include a range +qualification in its example query, and Jalview will then automatically +disable the 'replace commas with semi-colons' option.
