Web Services

+ 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.
- - 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.
-Envision2 Services
-Jalview 2.5 includes 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 members of ENFIN.
-
-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.

+ 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.
