+ What's new ?
+
+
+ Jalview 2.9.0b2 is a bug fix release for Jalview 2.9.
+ The release of Jalview 2.9 in September 2015 included
+ 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 patches since version 2.9 was released, see the
+ Jalview 2.9.0b2 Release Notes.
+
+
+ Highlights in Jalview 2.9
+
+ - 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.
