 <p><strong>Sequence Fetcher</strong></p>
 <p>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 <em>sequence</em> command (configured in <a href="dassettings.html">DAS settings</a>).</p>
