- Jalview 2.10.2b1 bugfix release + What's new in Jalview 2.10.3b1 ?

- This is patch release for 2.10.2. See the release notes. + This is the January 2018 patch release, which addresses critical bugs including trackpad function in OSX, and display of multiple 3D structures. + The full list bugs fixed in this release can be found in the 2.10.3b1 + Release Notes. In addition, Jalview 2.10.3 provides:

Gaps are now rendered as dark grey in overview window
Faster and more responsive UI when importing and working + with wide alignments and handling hundreds and thousands of + sequence features
Improved usability with PDB and UniProt Free Text + Search dialog, and new tab for retrieval of sequences for lists of + IDs. +
Short names assigned to sequences retrieved from UniProt
Groovy console upgraded to 2.4.12 (improved support for Java 9)

- What's new in Jalview 2.10.2 ? -

- Version 2.10.2 was released in August 2017, and introduced new user - interface features, improved and more extensible tree and PCA - analysis, more robust 3D structure viewing with UCSF Chimera and an - updated service client for JABAWS. The full list of bug fixes and - new features can be found in the 2.10.2 Release Notes, but - the highlights are below. -

New dialog and faster and more - configurable Tree and PCA calculations
Menu entries for - calculating PCA and different types of tree have been replaced by - a single Calculations - dialog box. The underlying implementation for the PCA and tree - calculations have been made faster and more memory efficient.
Extensible score models
A new - framework has also been created for the score models used to - calculate distances between sequences and shade alignments. This - framework allows import of substitution matrices in NCBI and - AAIndex format.
PCA Bug Fixes. Jalview's - implementation of PCA differed in its treatment of gaps and - non-standard residues. The BLOSUM62 matrix also included a typo - that affected results. See the 2.10.2 release note - about score model bugs for details and how to reinstate legacy - behaviour.
Update to JABAWS 2.2
Jalview's - alignment, protein conservation analysis, and protein disorder and - RNA secondary structure prediction services are now provided by JABAWS 2.2. - Several of the programs provided as JABAWS 2.2 services have been - updated, so their options and parameters have changed.
URL linkouts to other bioinformatics - databases
New preferences for opening web pages for - database cross-references via the UK Elixir's EMBL-EBI's MIRIAM - database and identifiers.org services.
Showing and hiding regions
Hide insertions in the - PopUp menu has changed its behaviour. Prior to 2.10.2, columns - were only shown or hidden according to gaps in the sequence under - the popup menu. Now, only columns that are gapped in all selected - sequences as well as the sequence under the popup menu are hidden, - and column visibility outside the selected region is left as is. - This makes it easy to filter insertions from the alignment view - (just select the region containing insertions to remove) without - affecting the rest of the hidden columns.
Gap count - a.k.a. the Occupancy - Annotation Row
Another way to filter columns according to - the presence of gaps is to enable the Occupancy - Annotation row via Jalview's Preferences. This annotation row - shows a histogram of the number of aligned residues at each - column. The Select - By Annotation dialog now also includes a percentage threshold - mode, to make it easy to filter alignments to show only those - columns with a particular fraction of aligned sequences.
Recent search history for Find, PDBe and - Uniprot
Easily repeat a previous search for Find and the free - text search system (for querying Uniprot and the PDBe).
Improved Overview Window
The alignment overview is now easier - to use when working with alignments of more than 5000 rows and - columns, and features a new pop-up menu that allows hidden regions - to be excluded from the overview. It also works with CDS/Protein - alignments and MSA views in wrapped mode.
3D Structure
Jalview's communication - with UCSF Chimera has been made more robust, particularly when - working with many structures and long sequences. Regions in - structures that correspond to hidden regions in an alignment view - are now left un-coloured, making it easier to highlight specific - features in 3D. See below for experimental - features for exchanging annotation between Chimera and Jalview.

- Scripting
New groovy examples - demonstrate Jalview 2.10.2 APIs for creation of data-driven - colourschemes, and custom alignment file handlers. The FeatureAnnotationWorker - introduced in Jalview 2.10 has also been refactored to allow - efficient counting across multiple feature types. Please be aware - that feature counter scripts created for earlier versions will not - execute in Jalview 2.10.2. -

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. + Remember, please enable the Experimental Features option in + the Jalview Desktop's Tools menu, and then restart Jalview + if you want to try out features below:
