What's new ?
-What's new ?
-Highlights in Jalview Version 2.5
-
- Linked viewing of nucleic acid sequences and structures
- Automatic Scrolling option in View menu to display the
- currently highlighted region of an alignment.
- Order an alignment by sequence length, or using the average score or total feature count for each sequence.
- Shading features by score or associated description
- Subdivide alignment and groups based on identity of selected subsequence (Make Groups from Selection).
- New hide/show options including Shift+Control+H to hide everything but the currently selected region.
-
-Jalview Desktop:
-
- Fetch DB References capabilities and UI expanded to support
- retrieval from DAS sequence sources
- Enable or disable non-positional feature and database
- references in sequence ID tooltip from View menu in application.
- Group-associated consensus, sequence logos and conservation
- plots
- Symbol distributions for each column can be exported and
- visualized as sequence logos
- Jalview Java Console
- New webservice for submitting sequences and IDs to Envision2 Workflows
- Improved VAMSAS synchronization and sharing of selections.
-
-JalviewLite:
-
- Middle button resizes annotation row height
- New Parameters - including default tree display settings.
- Non-positional features displayed in ID tooltip
-
-Issues Resolved (a select list)
-
-
- Source field in GFF files parsed as feature source rather
- than description
- Non-positional features are now included in sequence feature
- and gff files (controlled via non-positional feature visibility in
- tooltip).
- URL links generated for all feature links (bugfix)
- Codons containing ambiguous nucleotides translated as 'X' in
- peptide product
- Match case switch in find dialog box works for both sequence
- ID and sequence string and query strings do not have to be in upper
- case to match case-insensitively.
- Jalview Annotation File generation/parsing consistent with
- documentation (e.g. Stockholm annotation can be exported and
- re-imported)
- Find incrementally searches ID string matches as well as
- subsequence matches, and correctly reports total number of both.
-
- Desktop Issues
-
- Better handling of exceptions during sequence retrieval
- PDB files retrieved from URLs are cached properly
- Sequence description lines properly shared via VAMSAS
- Sequence fetcher fetches multiple records for all data
- sources
- Ensured that command line das feature retrieval completes
- before alignment figures are generated.
- Reduced time taken when opening file browser for first time.
- User defined group colours properly recovered from Jalview projects.
-

+ What's new ?
+ 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.
+
+ Highlights in Jalview Version 2.8
+
+ - Improved JABAWS
+ client and new JABAWS 2.0 Services
+
+
+ - RNA
+
+ - Import sequence and alignment associated WUSS or VIENNA
+ 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)
+
+ - Per
+ sequence alignment annotation shading
+ - Enhanced PCA viewer: more
+ export options, and switch between different PCA modes and residue
+ score models
+
+ - New Jalview Desktop database
+ fetcher GUI
+
+ - Support for DAS 1.6 and DAS 2.0 sources (thanks to the new
+ JDAS Distributed Annotation client library (see
+ http://code.google.com/p/jdas))
+ - Export sequence database annotation as an HTML report
+ - Normalised Sequence
+ Logo Display
+
+
+ Issues resolved in the Jalview Desktop
+
+
+ - PDB, Unprot and EMBL (ENA) databases retrieved via wsdbfetch
+ REST service
+ - Stop windows being moved outside desktop on OSX
+ - Jnet job queues forever if a very short sequence is submitted
+ for prediction
+ - Structure view highlighting doesn't work on windows 7
+ - Jalview desktop fails to launch with exception when using
+ proxy
+ - DAS Sequence retrieval with range qualification results in
+ sequence xref which includes range qualification
+ - Cannot close news reader when JABAWS server warning dialog is
+ shown
+ - Edited sequence not submitted to web service
+ - Jalview 2.7 InstallAnywhere installer doesn't unpack and run
+ on OSX Mountain Lion
+
+ - If you use webstart then you may need to go into the
+ Security panel (a.k.a the gatekeeper) in your System
+ Settings, and select the 'allow any code to run' option.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Issues specific to the JalviewLite Applet
+
+
+ - Sequence features are momentarily displayed before they are
+ hidden using hidefeaturegroups applet parameter
+ - loading features via javascript API automatically enables
+ feature display
+ - scrollToColumnIn javascript API method doesn't work
+
+
+ Issues affecting both applet and application
+
+
+ - Redundancy removal fails for rna alignment
+ - PCA window shows grey box when first opened on OSX
+ - Letters coloured pink in sequence logo when alignment
+ coloured with clustalx
+
