+
+ Web services
+
+A variety of web services are available from the Alignment window's
+ Web Service menu.
+ Jalview's distributed computations are SOAP based services exposing
+ protein sequence alignment and secondary structure prediction programs. These services actually run
+ on the cluster based in the School of Life Sciences, University of
+ Dundee, and are maintained by the Barton group.
+
+ Web Service Dialog Box
+
+
+ This dialog box is displayed when a web service job
+ is submitted. It gives the name of the service and
+ any method citation information, and monitors the
+ progress of the calculation. The cancel button will
+ permanently cancel the job, but this is only
+ possible for some services.
+
+ Current services:
+
+ - ClustalW Multiple Alignment
+ The clustal W service remains one of the more popular Jalview features.
+
+ - Muscle Multiple Alignment
+ High Quality and High Throughput multiple alignments of proteins. This
+ method can sometimes be more accurate than ClustalW when dealing with
+ diverse sets of sequences.
+
+ - JNet Secondary Structure Prediction
+ This is a front end to the existing JNet www server.
+
+
+
+ Watch this space! These are some of the services
+ planned to be released soon:
+ - Repeat analysis
+
+ - Remote Homology Detection
+
+
+ In the future, Jalview will also be able to new discover services
+ dynamically, and distribute expensive analysis functions like PCA to the Dundee machines.
