Remove Right (Control R)
- If the alignment has marked columns, the alignment will be - trimmed to the left of the leftmost marked column. To mark a column, - mouse click the scale bar above the alignment. Click again to unmark a - column, or select "Deselect All" to deselect all columns.
Remove Empty Columns (Control E)
- All columns which only contain gap characters ("-", - ".") will be deleted.
- You may set the default gap character in preferences.
Remove All Gaps (Control Shift E)
- Gap characters ("-", ".") will be deleted - from the selected area of the alignment. If no selection is made, ALL - the gaps in the alignment will be removed.
- You may set the default gap character in preferences.
Remove Redundancy (Control D)
- Selecting this option brings up a window asking you to select - a threshold. If the percentage identity between any two sequences - (under the current alignment) exceeds this value then one of the - sequences (the shorter) is discarded. Press the "Apply" - button to remove redundant sequences. The "Undo" button will - undo the last redundancy deletion.
Pad Gaps
- When selected, the alignment will be kept at minimal width - (so there no empty columns before or after the first or last aligned - residue) and all sequences will be padded with gap characters to the - before and after their terminating residues.
- This switch is useful when making a tree using unaligned sequences and - when working with alignment analysis programs which require 'properly - aligned sequences' to be all the same length.
- You may set the default for Pad Gaps in the preferences.

-
Alignment -
-
ClustalW Multiple Sequence Alignment
- Submits all, or just the currently selected sequences for - alignment with clustal W.
-
ClustalW Multiple Sequence Alignment - Realign
- Submits the alignment or currently selected region for - re-alignment with clustal W. Use this if you have added some new - sequences to an existing alignment.
-
MAFFT Multiple Sequence Alignment
- Submits all, or just the currently selected region for - alignment with MAFFT.
-
Muscle Multiple Protein Sequence Alignment
- Submits all, or just the currently selected sequences for - alignment using Muscle. Do not use this if you are working with - nucleic acid sequences.

-
Secondary Structure Prediction -
-
JPred Secondary Structure Prediction
- Secondary structure prediction by network consensus. The - behaviour of this calculation depends on the current selection:
-
If nothing is selected, and the displayed sequences - appear to be aligned, then a JNet prediction will be run for the - first sequence in the alignment, using the current alignment. - Otherwise the first sequence will be submitted for prediction.
-
If just one sequence (or a region on one sequence) - has been selected, it will be submitted to the automatic JNet - prediction server for homolog detection and prediction.
-
If a set of sequences are selected, and they appear - to be aligned, then the alignment will be used for a Jnet prediction - on the first sequence in the set (that is, the one - that appears first in the alignment window).

Colour Scheme options: None, ClustalX, + Blosum62 Score, Percentage Identity, Zappo, Taylor, + Hydrophobicity, Helix Propensity, Strand Propensity, Turn + Propensity, Buried Index, Nucleotide, Purine/Pyrimidine, User + Defined
+ See colours + for a description of all colour schemes. +
+
By Conservation
+ See Colouring + by Conservation. +
+
Modify Conservation Threshold
+ Use this to display the conservation threshold slider + window. Useful if the window has been closed, or if the 'by + conservation' option appears to be doing nothing!
+
Above Identity Threshold
+ See Above + Percentage Identity + .
+
+
Modify Identity Threshold
+ Use this to set the threshold value for colouring above + Identity. Useful if the window has been closed.
+
+
By Annotation
Colours + the alignment on a per-column value from a specified + annotation. See Annotation + Colouring. +
+
By RNA Helices
Colours + the helices of an RNA alignment loaded from a Stockholm file. + See RNA + Helices Colouring. +

Sort +
+
by ID
This will + sort the sequences according to sequence name. If the sort + is repeated, the order of the sorted sequences will be + inverted.
+
by Length
This + will sort the sequences according to their length + (excluding gap characters). If the sort is repeated, the + order of the sorted sequences will be inverted.
+
by Group
This + will sort the sequences according to sequence name. If the + sort is repeated, the order of the sorted sequences will + be inverted.
+
by Pairwise Identity
+ This will sort the selected sequences by their + percentage identity to the consensus sequence. The most + similar sequence is put at the top.
+
The Sort + menu will have some additional options if you have just + done a multiple alignment calculation, or opened a tree + viewer window. +
+
+
Calculate Tree or PCA ...
Opens the + calculations dialog for + for calculating trees or + principle component analysis + plots on the alignment or the currently selected + region. +
+
Pairwise Alignments
Applies + Smith and Waterman algorithm to selected sequences. See pairwise + alignments. +
+
Extract Scores ... (optional)
This + option is only visible if Jalview detects one or more + white-space separated values in the description line of the + alignment sequences.
When selected, these numbers are + parsed into sequence associated annotation which can then be + used to sort the alignment via the Sort by→Score menu. +
+
Autocalculate Consensus
For + large alignments it can be useful to deselect + "Autocalculate Consensus" when editing. This + prevents the sometimes lengthy calculations performed after + each sequence edit.
+
Sort With New Tree
When + enabled, Jalview will automatically sort the alignment when a + new tree is calculated or loaded onto it.
+
Show Flanking Regions
Opens + a new alignment window showing any additional sequence data + either side of the current alignment. Useful in conjunction + with 'Fetch Database References' when the 'Trim Retrieved + Sequences' option is disabled to retrieve full length + sequences for a set of aligned peptides.
+
+ +
Web Service Menu
This menu + is dynamic, and may contain user-defined web service entries in + addition to any of the following ones: +
+
Fetch DB References
This + submenu contains options for accessing any of the database + services that Jalview is aware of (e.g. DAS sequence servers + and the WSDBFetch service provided by the EBI) to verify + sequence start/end positions and retrieve all database cross + references and PDB ids associated with all or just the + selected sequences in the alignment. +
+
'Trim Retrieved Sequences' - when checked, Jalview + will discard any additional sequence data for accessions + associated with sequences in the alignment.
Note: + Disabling this could cause out of memory errors when + working with genomic sequence records !
Added + in Jalview 2.8.1 +
+
'Standard Databases' will check sequences against + the EBI databases plus any active DAS sequence sources
+
Other sub-menus allow you to pick a specific source to query + - sources are listed alphabetically according to their + nickname. +
+
+
Selecting items from the following submenus will start a + remote service on compute facilities at the University of Dundee, + or elsewhere. You need a continuous network connection in order to + use these services through Jalview.
+
+
Alignment
Align the + currently selected sequences or all sequences in the + alignment, or re-align unaligned sequences to the aligned + sequences. Entries in this menu provide access to the various + alignment programs supported by JABAWS. See the + Multiple Sequence + Alignment webservice client entry for more information. +
+
Secondary Structure Prediction +
+
JPred Secondary Structure Prediction
+ Secondary structure prediction by network + consensus. See the Jpred + client entry for more information. The behaviour of this + calculation depends on the current selection: +
+
If nothing is selected, and the displayed + sequences appear to be aligned, then a JPred prediction + will be run for the first sequence in the alignment, + using the current alignment. Otherwise the first + sequence will be submitted for prediction.
+
If just one sequence (or a region on one + sequence) has been selected, it will be submitted to + the automatic JPred prediction server for homolog + detection and prediction.
+
If a set of sequences are selected, and they + appear to be aligned, then the alignment will be used + for a JPred prediction on the first + sequence in the set (that is, the one that appears + first in the alignment window). +
+

Multi-Harmony
Performs + functional residue analysis on a protein family alignment + with sub-families defined on it. See the Multi-Harmony + service entry for more information. +
