-
- 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
-- Jalview SOAP Web Services for sequence and alignment analysis are provided by the University of Dundee, and 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:
-
Multiple
- Sequence Alignment Services
- - ClustalW Multiple Alignment and re-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.
-
- - MAFFT
- Multiple Alignment with Fast Fourier Transforms -
- a highly accurate and high throughput dna and amino
- acid alignment method, performing at least as well
- as ClustalW and Muscle.
-
-
-
- - Secondary Structure Prediction
-
- - JNet
This is a front end to the existing JNet
- www server allowing single sequence or profile
- based prediction.
-
-
-
-
-
- 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.

+ 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.
