+
+ 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.
