- What's new ?
+ What's new in Jalview 2.10.3 ?
- Jalview 2.9 has been in development since December 2014. In addition
- to a multitude of bug fixes and minor improvements (both small, and
- rather big!), it also brings major new capabilities for codon-level
- analysis of protein alignments and the retrieval and manipulation of
- structural data.
For the full list of changes, see the
- Jalview 2.9 Release Notes.
+ Version 2.10.3 is due for release in October 2017. The full list of
+ bug fixes and new features can be found in the 2.10.3 Release Notes, but
+ the highlights are below.
- Highlights in Jalview 2.9
+ Experimental Features
+
+
+ This release of Jalview introduces an Experimental Features
+ option in the Jalview Desktop's Tools menu that allows you
+ to try out features that are still in development. To access the
+ experimental features below - first enable the Tools→Enable
+ Experimental Features option, and then restart Jalview.
+
- - Visualisation, editing and analysis of
- cDNA and Protein alignments
A new Split View window allows linked
- protein and nucleotide sequence alignments to be viewed, edited,
- and analysed as one.
cDNA alignments can also be
- reconstructed from protein alignments calculated by Jalview's web
- services, and update in response to edits in the amino acid view.
To
- start experimenting with cDNA/Protein analysis, jut drop a file
- containing cDNA sequences which code for proteins in an existing
- alignment, and Jalview will do the rest.
- - Enhanced Integration of UCSF Chimera
Jalview
- 2.9 provides full support for the use of Chimera to view 3D
- structures linked to alignment views in the Jalview Desktop. We've
- also included support for saving Chimera sessions in Jalview
- project files.
Jalview and Chimera communicate using local
- web server connections, which may cause firewall alerts on some
- systems, but has the advantage of allowing bidirectional
- communication. Communication between Jalview and Chimera is now
- much more responsive, and selected regions in Chimera are now
- shown as highlighted regions in the Jalview desktop.
- - Interactive querying of the PDBe
Jalview
- users can now browse and retrieve 3D structure data from the PDB
- via the PDBe
- Search API (Gutmanas
- et al 2014). Developed in collaboration with the PDBe group at
- EMBL-EBI, the interface allows both structured and free-text
- queries to be performed, and allows automatic selection of the
- most relevant structures for an alignment acording to a variety of
- criteria.
- - Improved support for RNA visualisation
Jalview
- 2.9 integrates the latest version of the VARNA RNA Viewer, and VARNA views
- can also now be stored in Jalview projects. We've also dealt with
- a number of lingering bugs in the VARNA/Jalview interface,
- including the loss of pseudoknots when RNA secondary structure is
- shown VARNA.
- - Protein Secondary Structure predictions
- with JPred4
Jalview includes a number of new features for
- working with secondary structure predictions from the JPred4
- server. These include new popup menu actions to automatically hide insertions and highlight
- mutations in an alignment with respect to a Reference
- Sequence. Jalview 2.9's new scrollable
- SVG HTML export was also developed specifically for the JPred4
- server.
+ - Annotation transfer between Chimera and Jalview
Two
+ new entries in
+ the Chimera viewer's Chimera menu allow positional annotation to
+ be exchanged between Chimera and Jalview.
