- 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.

-
-
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).

+
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
+
+
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. +
