+ Jalview 2.8 includes a number of enhancements and new features that
+ have been in development since July 2010. It is also the first Jalview
+ release to incorporate RNA visualization features developed by Lauren
+ Lui and Jan Engelhart during their Google Summer of Code projects
+ (http://code.google.com/soc/). As usual you can find the highlights
+ below, but to see the comprehensive list take a look at the look at
+ the Jalview 2.8 Release Notes.

+ dot-bracket notation from files and the RFAM
+ database
+
+ - Interactive editing of RNA secondary structure annotation
+ - Colour scheme for purine/pyrimidine and to highlight RNA
+ helices
+ - RNA canonical base pair consensus
+ score and sequence logo
+
+ - Embedded VARNA RNA
+ secondary structure viewer in the Desktop
+
+
+ - Parse and display T-COFFEE
+ alignment quality scores (thanks to Paolo di Tomasso of the Notredame
+ Group)

+ score models
