Sequence Fetcher
-The Sequence Fetcher can be started from the main desktop "File" - menu or from a particular alignment window.
-Select which database to fetch your sequence from and enter the sequence id. - If you are retrieving sequences from PDB database and you know which chain you - would like to retrieve, append the chain id after colon to the PDB id. eg 1GAQ:A
-The Sequence Fetcher uses WSDBFetch provided by the European Bioinformatics - Institute. If you use this service please quote:
+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+
