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: -
- Jalview SOAP Web Services for sequence alignment and - secondary structure prediction based at the University of Dundee.
- Services for submitting IDs and sequences to external - bioinformatics services such as Envision2.
- Programs for multiple sequence alignment, made available via - Java Bioinformatic Analysis Web Service - (JABAWS) servers.
- 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 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

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).

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.
Other alignment methods are also available via JABAWS. For more information about a - particular service, see the documentation available via the web services parameter dialog box.

Secondary Structure Prediction -
- JNet
  - This is a front end to the JNet www server - allowing single sequence or profile based prediction.
