- Note: Since Version 2.8.1, a number of additional similarity measures for tree calculation are provided in this menu. -
-
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 similarity scores calculated with - 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.
-
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. +
Colour +
+
Apply Colour To All Groups
+ If this is selected, any changes made to the background + colour will be applied to all currently defined groups.
+
+
Colour + Text...
Opens the Colour Text dialog box + to set a different text colour for light and dark background, + and the intensity threshold for transition between them.
+
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
-
'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. +
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. +
+

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). -
