- Jalview can view - trees stored in the Newick file format, and associate them with the - alignment. Note: the ids of the tree file and your alignment MUST be - the same.
Load Features / Annotations
- Load files describing precalculated sequence features or alignment annotations.
Close (Control W)
- Close the alignment window. Make sure you have saved your - alignment before you close - either as a Jalview project or by using - the Save As menu.

Edit -

Undo (Control Z)
- This will undo any edits you make to the alignment.

NOTE: It DOES NOT undo colour changes, - adjustments to group sizes, or changes to the annotation panel.
Redo (Control Y)
- Any actions which you undo can be redone using redo.
Cut (Control X)
- This will make a copy of the currently selected residues - before removing them from your alignment. Click on a sequence name if - you wish to select a whole sequence.
- Use <CTRL> and X (<APPLE> and X on MacOSX) to cut.
Copy (Control C)
- Copies the currently selected residues to the system - clipboard - you can also do this by pressing <CTRL> and C - (<APPLE> and C on MacOSX).
- If you try to paste the clipboard contents to a text editor, you will - see the format of the copied residues FASTA.
Paste -
- To New Alignment (Control Shift V)

-
-
-
-
Calculate -
-
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
- Functions for calculating trees on the alignment or the - currently selected region. See calculating - trees. -
-
Average Distance Using % Identity
-

-
-
-
-
Pairwise Alignments
- Applies Smith and Waterman algorithm to selected sequences. - See pairwise alignments.
-
-
Principal Component Analysis
- Shows a spatial clustering of the sequences based on the - BLOSUM62 scores in the alignment. See Principal Component Analysis.
-
-
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.
-
-
-
-
Web Service
- -
Fetch DB References
- This will use 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 the sequence and retrieve all database cross references and PDB ids - associated with all or just the selected sequences in the alignment.
-
-
- Selecting one of the following menu items starts a remote - service on compute facilities at the University of Dundee. You need a - continuous network connection in order to use these services through - Jalview. -
-
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).

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
Functions + for calculating trees on the alignment or the currently selected + region. See calculating + trees. +
+
Average Distance Using % Identity
+
Neighbour Joining Using % Identity
+
Average Distance Using Blosum62
+
Neighbour Joining Using Blosum62
+
+
+
+
Pairwise Alignments
Applies + Smith and Waterman algorithm to selected sequences. See pairwise alignments.
+
+
Principal Component Analysis
Shows + a spatial clustering of the sequences based on the BLOSUM62 scores + in the alignment. See Principal + Component Analysis.
+
+
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.
+
+ +
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 + will use 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 the sequence and retrieve all database cross + references and PDB ids associated with all or just the selected + sequences in the alignment.
'Standard Databases' will check + sequences against the EBI databases plus any active DAS sequence + sources, or you can verify against a specific source from one of + the sub-menus.
+
Envision2 Services
Submits one or + more sequences, sequence IDs or database references to analysis + workflows provided by the EnVision2 web + application. This allows Jalview users to easily access the EnCore + network of databases and analysis services developed by members of + ENFIN.
+
+
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 Jpred3 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 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). +
+
+
+
Analysis
+
+
Sequence Harmony Multi-Relief
Performs + functional residue analysis on a protein family alignment with + sub-families defined on it. See the SHMR client entry for more + information. +
