+
+ Web services
+
+
+ Jalview includes clients for a variety of web services for both
+ bioinformatic data retrieval and analysis.
+
+ - The Sequence Fetcher
+ utilises web services for sequence, alignment and structure retrieval
+ provided by the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) and
+ Distributed Annotation System servers that are capable of serving
+ sequences.
+ - The DAS Feature
+ Fetcher enables the retrieval and visualization of features from DAS
+ annotation sources
+ - The Database Reference
+ Fetcher transfers database references from records available from
+ DAS or the public sequence databases.
+ - The Web Services menu in each alignment
+ window also provides access to the following:
+
+
+ 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.
The Web
+ Services Preference panel controls the display and appearance of the
+ submission and analysis services in the Web Services
+ menu.
+ - If Jalview encounters problems accessing any services, it may
+ display a warning
+ dialog box (this can be turned off using the web services
+ preferences tab).
+
+
+
+ More about Jalview's Web Services
Jalview's
+ distributed computations utilise SOAP and REST
+ web services exposing sequence alignment, analysis, and secondary
+ structure prediction programs. Originally, Jalview 2's services were
+ maintained by the Barton group at the University of Dundee, and ran
+ programs on the Life Sciences High-performace Computing Cluster. With
+ the advent of JABAWS,
+ however, it is possible for anyone to host Jalview web services.
+
+
+ Envision2 Services
+
+
+
+ Since version 2.5, Jalview has included a client to enable the user to
+ submit one or more sequences or sequence IDs 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 ENFIN (www.enfin.org).
