+\section{Introduction}
+\subsection{Jalview}
+Jalview is a multiple sequence alignment viewer, editor and analysis tool.
+Jalview is designed to be platform independent (running on Mac, MS Windows, Linux
+and any other platforms that support Java). Jalview is capable of editing and
+analysing large alignments (thousands of sequences) with minimal degradation in
+performance, and able to show multiple integrated views of the alignment and
+other data. Jalview can read and write many common sequence formats including
+FASTA, Clustal, MSF(GCG) and PIR.
+
+
+There are two types of Jalview program. The {\bf Jalview Desktop} is a standalone
+application that provides powerful editing, visualization, annotation and
+analysis capabilities. The {\bf JalviewLite} applet has the same core
+visualization, editing and analysis capabilities as the desktop, without the
+desktop's webservice and figure generation capabilities. It is designed to be
+embedded in a web page,\footnote{A demonstration version of Jalview (Jalview Micro
+Edition) also runs on a mobile phone but the functionality is limited to sequence
+colouring.} and includes a javascript API to allow customisable display of
+alignments for web sites such as Pfam.\footnote{\url{http://pfam.xfam.org}}
+
+
+The Jalview Desktop in this version
+provides access to protein and nucleic acid sequence, alignment and structure
+databases, and includes the Jmol\footnote{ Provided under the LGPL licence at
+\url{http://www.jmol.org}} viewer for molecular structures, and the VARNA\footnote{Provided under GPL licence at \url{http://varna.lri.fr}} program for the visualization of RNA secondary structure. A
+Distributed Annotation System (DAS) client\footnote{jDAS - released under Apache license (v2.0) at \url{http://code.google.com/p/jdas}} which facilitates the retrieval and display of third party sequence
+annotation in association with sequences and any associated structure. It also
+provides a graphical user interface for the multiple sequence alignment, conservation analysis and protein disorder prediction methods provided as {\bf Ja}va {\bf B}ioinformatics
+{\bf A}nalysis {\bf W}eb {\bf S}ervices (JABAWS). JABAWS\footnote{released under GPL at \url{http://www.compbio.dundee.ac.uk/jabaws}} is a system for running bioinformatics programs that you can download and run on your own machine or cluster, or install on compute clouds.
+
+\subsection{Jalview's Capabilities}
+% TODO add references to appropriate sections for each capability described here.
+Figure \ref{jvcapabilities} gives an overview of the main features of the
+Jalview desktop application. Its primary function is the editing and
+visualization of sequence alignments, and their interactive analysis. Tree
+building, principal components analysis, physico-chemical property conservation
+and sequence consensus analyses are built into the program. Web services enable
+Jalview to access online alignment and secondary structure prediction programs,
+as well as to retrieve protein and nucleic acid sequences, alignments, protein structures and sequence annotation. Sequences, alignments, trees, structures, features and alignment annotation may also be exchanged with the local filesystem. Multiple visualizations of an alignment may be worked on simultaneously, and the user interface provides a comprehensive set of controls for colouring and layout. Alignment views are dynamically linked with Jmol structure displays, a tree viewer and spatial cluster display, facilitating interactive exploration of the alignment's structure. The application provides its own Jalview project file format in order to store the current state of an alignment and analysis windows. Jalview also provides WYSIWIG\footnote{WYSIWIG: What You See Is What You Get.} style figure generation capabilities for the preparation of alignments for publication.

+
+\subsubsection{Jalview History}
+Jalview was initially developed in 1996 by Michele Clamp, James Cuff, Steve
+Searle and Geoff Barton at the University of Oxford and then the European
+Bioinformatics Institute. Development of Jalview 2 was made possible with
+eScience funding from the BBSRC\footnote{Biotechnology and Biological Sciences
+Research Council grant {\sl ``VAMSAS: Visualization and Analysis of Molecules,
+Sequence Alignments and Structures"}, a joint project to enable interoperability
+between Jalview, TOPALi and AstexViewer.} in 2004, enabling Andrew Waterhouse and
+Jim Procter to re-engineer the original program to introduce contemporary developments
+in bioinformatics and take advantage of the latest web and Java technology.
+Jalview's development has been supported from 2009
+onwards by BBSRC funding, and since 2014 by a
+Wellcome Trust Biomedical Resource grant\footnote{Wellcome grant number 101651/Z/13/Z}. In 2010, 2011, and 2012, Jalview benefitted from the
+\href{http://code.google.com/soc/}{Google Summer of Code}, when Lauren Lui and Jan Engelhardt introduced new features for handling RNA alignments and secondary structure annotation, in collaboration with Yann Ponty.\footnote{\url{http://www.lix.polytechnique.fr/~ponty/}}
+
+
+%TODO describe future plans in history ? not a good idea.
+% Jalview continues to be one of the worlds most popular\footnote{and in the authors opinion, the best.} sequence alignment and analysis tools.

+\subsection{About this Tutorial }
+
+This tutorial is written in a manual format with short exercises where
+appropriate, typically at the end of each section. This chapter concerns the
+basic operation of Jalview and should be sufficient for those who want to
+launch Jalview (Section \ref{startingjv}), open an alignment (Section
+\ref{loadingseqs}), perform basic editing (Section
+\ref{selectingandediting}), colouring (Section \ref{colours}), and produce
+publication and presentation quality graphical output (Section \ref{layoutandoutput}).
+
+In addition, the manual covers the additional visualization and
+analysis techniques available in Jalview. This includes working
+with the embedded Jmol molecular structure viewer, building and viewing trees and PCA
+plots, and using trees for sequence conservation analysis. An overview of
+the Jalview Desktop's webservices is given in Section \ref{jvwebservices}, and
+the alignment and secondary structure prediction services are described
+in detail in Sections \ref{msaservices} and \ref{protsspredservices}. Section \ref{featannot} details the creation and visualization of sequence
+and alignment annotation, and the retrieval of sequences and annotation from
+databases and DAS Servers. Section \ref{workingwithnuc} discusses
+specific features of use when working with nucleic acid sequences, such as translation and linking to protein
+coding regions, and the display and analysis of RNA secondary structure.
+
+%^Chapter \ref{jalviewadvanced} The third chapter covers the detail^ of Jalview and is aimed at the user who is
+%already familiar with Jalview operation but wants to get more out of their
+%Jalview experience.
+
+\subsubsection{Typographic Conventions}
+
+Keystrokes using the special non-symbol keys are represented in the tutorial by
+enclosing the pressed keys with square brackets ({\em e.g.} [RETURN] or [CTRL]).
+
+Keystroke combinations are combined with a `-' symbol ({\em e.g.} [CTRL]-C means
+press [CTRL] and the `C' key) simultaneously.
+
+Menu options are given as a path from the menu
+that contains them - for example {\sl File $\Rightarrow$ Input Alignment
+$\Rightarrow$ From URL} means to select the `From URL' option from the `Input
+Alignment' submenu of a window's `File' dropdown menu.
+
+\section{Launching the Jalview Desktop Application}
+\label{startingjv}
+\begin{figure}[htbp]
+\begin{center}
+\includegraphics[width=4.5in]{images/download.pdf}
+\caption{\bf Download page on the Jalview web site at www.jalview.org.}
+\label{download}
+\end{center}
+\end{figure}
+
+This tutorial is based on the Jalview
+Desktop application. Much of the information will also be useful for users of
+the JalviewLite applet, which has the same core editing, analysis and visualization capabilities (see the
+\href{http://www.jalview.org/examples/applets.html}{JalviewLite Applet Examples}
+page for examples). The Jalview Desktop, however, is much more powerful, and
+includes additional support for interaction with external web services, and
+production of publication quality graphics.
+
+The Jalview Desktop can be run in two ways; as an application launched from the
+web {\sl via} Java webstart, or as an application loaded onto your hard drive.
+The webstart version is launched from the pink `Launch Jalview Desktop
+button' at the top right hand side of pages of the website
+\href{http://www.jalview.org}{(www.jalview.org)}.
+To download the locally installable version, follow the links on the download
+page
+\href{http://www.jalview.org/download}{(www.jalview.org/download) }
+ (Figure \ref{download}).
+These links will launch the latest release of Jalview.\par
+
+%% this paragraph needs to be rewritten for the new signed certificate from Certum.
+
+When the application is launched with webstart, two dialogs may appear before
+the application starts. If your browser is not set up to handle webstart, then
+clicking the launch link may download a file that needs to be opened
+manually, or prompt you to select the program to handle the webstart
+file. If that is the case, then you will need to locate the {\bf javaws} program
+on your system\footnote{The file that is downloaded will have a type of {\bf
+application/x-java-jnlp-file} or {\bf .jnlp}. The {\bf javaws} program that can run
+this file is usually found in the {\bf bin} directory of your Java
+installation}. Once java webstart has been launched, you may also be prompted to
+accept a security certificate signed by the Barton Group.\footnote{On some
+systems, the certificate may be signed by 'UNKNOWN'. In this case, clicking
+through the dialogs to look at the detailed information about the certificate
+should reveal it to be a Barton group certificate.} You can always trust us, so
+click trust or accept as appropriate. The splash screen (Figure \ref{splash})
+gives information about the version and build date that you are running,
+information about later versions (if available), and the paper to cite in your
+publications. This information is also available on the Jalview web site at
+\url{http://www.jalview.org}.

+\caption{{\bf Jalview splash screen.}}
+\label{splash}
+\end{center}
+\end{figure}
+
+When Jalview starts it will automatically load an example alignment from the
+Jalview site. This behaviour can be switched off in the Jalview Desktop
+preferences dialog by unchecking the open file option.
+This alignment will look like the one in Figure \ref{startpage} (taken
+from Jalview version 2.7).

+\end{figure}
+
+
+\subsubsection{Jalview News RSS Feed}
+
+Announcements are made available to users of the
+Jalview Desktop {\sl via} the Jalview Newsreader. This window will open
+automatically when new news is available, and can also be accessed {\sl via} the
+Desktop's {\sl Tools $\Rightarrow$ Show Jalview News} menu entry.

+dialogue box opens, untick the box adjacent to the `Open file' entry in the
+`Visual' preferences tab.
+Click OK to save the preferences.}
+\exstep{Launch another Jalview workbench from the web site by clicking on the
+pink Launch button.
+The example alignment should not be loaded as Jalview starts up.}
+\exstep{To reload the original demo file select the
+{\em File$\Rightarrow$ From URL} entry in the Desktop menu. Click on
+the URL history button on the right hand side of the dialog box to view the
+files, select exampleFile\_2\_7.jar, then click OK.}
+{\bf Note:} Should you want to reload the example alignment or load your own
+sequence during the launch process, then go
+to the {\sl Tools $\Rightarrow$
+Preferences...} menu on the desktop. The tick the `Open file' entry of `Visual'
+preferences tab, type in the URL of the sequence you want to load. This
+file will load during the start up process.
+As the jalview.jnlp file launches Jalview on your desktop, you
+may want to move this from the downloads folder to another folder.
+Opening from this file will allow Jalview to be launched offline.

+
+\section{Navigation}
+\label{jvnavigation}
+The major features of the Jalview Desktop are illustrated in Figure \ref{anatomy}. The alignment window is the primary window for editing and visualization, and can contain several independent views of the alignment being worked with. The other windows (Trees, Structures, PCA plots, etc) are linked to a specific alignment view. Each area of the alignment window has a separate context menu accessed by clicking the right mouse button.
+
+ Jalview has two navigation and editing modes: {\bf normal mode}, where
+ editing and navigation is performed using the mouse, and {\bf cursor mode}
+ where editing and navigation are performed using the keyboard. The {\bf F2 key}
+ is used to switch between these two modes. With a Mac as the F2 is
+ often assigned to screen brightness, one may often need to type {\bf function
+ [Fn] key with F2} function
+ [Fn]-F2.
+
+\begin{figure}[htb]
+\begin{center}
+\includegraphics[width=6.5in]{images/jalview_anatomy.pdf}
+\caption{{\bf The anatomy of Jalview.} The major features of the Jalview Desktop Application are labeled.}
+% TODO: modify text labels to be clearer - black on grey and black border for clarity
+\label{anatomy}
+\end{center}
+\end{figure}
+
+\subsection{Navigation in Normal Mode}
+
+Jalview always starts up in Normal mode, where the mouse is used to interact
+with the displayed alignment view. You can move about the alignment by clicking
+and dragging the ruler scroll bar to move horizontally, or by clicking and
+dragging the alignment scroll bar to the right of the alignment to move
+vertically. If all the rows or columns in the alignment are displayed, the
+scroll bars will not be visible.
+
+ Each alignment view shown in the alignment window presents a window onto the
+ visible regions of the alignment. This means that with anything more than a few
+ residues or sequences, alignments can become difficult to visualize on the
+ screen because only a small area can be shown at a time. It can help,
+ especially when examining a large alignment, to have an overview of the whole
+ alignment. Select {\sl View $\Rightarrow$ Overview Window} from the Alignment
+ window menu bar (Figure \ref{overview}\footnote{the menu shown in this figure
+ is from Jalview 2.2, later versions have more options.}).
+% (Figure4)
+\begin{figure}[htbp]
+\begin{center}
+\includegraphics[width=4.5in]{images/overview.pdf}
+\caption{{\bf Alignment Overview Window.} The overview window for a view is opened from the {\em View} menu.}
+\label{overview}
+\end{center}
+\end{figure}
+
+The red box in the overview window shows the current view in the alignment
+window. A percent identity histogram is plotted below the alignment overview.
+Shaded parts indicate rows and columns of the alignment that are hidden (in this
+case, a single row at the bottom of the alignment - see Section
+\ref{hidingregions}). You can navigate around the alignment by dragging the red
+box.
+
+%Try this now and see how the view in the alignment window changes.
+
+\parbox[c]{3in}{Alignment and analysis windows are closed by clicking on the
+usual `close' icon (indicated by arrows on Mac OS X). If you want to close all
+the alignments and analysis windows at once, then use the {\sl Window
+$\Rightarrow$ Close All} option from the Jalview desktop.
+
+{\bf \em{Warning: make sure you have saved your work because this cannot be
+undone!}} }
+\parbox[c]{3in}{\centerline{\includegraphics[width=2.5in]{images/start_closeall.pdf}
+}}
+
+\subsection{Navigation in Cursor Mode}
+\label{cursormode}
+\parbox[c]{5in}{Cursor mode navigation enables the user to quickly
+and precisely navigate, select and edit parts of an alignment. On pressing F2 to
+enter cursor mode the position of the cursor is indicated by a black background
+and white text. The cursor can be placed using the mouse or moved by pressing
+the arrow keys ($\uparrow$, $\downarrow$, $\leftarrow$, $\rightarrow$).
+}\parbox[c]{1.25in}{\centerline{\includegraphics[width=0.8in]{images/cursor1.pdf}}}
+
+Rapid movement to specific positions is accomplished as listed below:
+\begin{list}{$\circ$}{}
+\item {\bf Jump to Sequence {\sl n}:} Type a number {\sl n} then press [S] to
+move to sequence (row). {\sl n}
+\item {\bf Jump to Column {\sl n}:} Type a number {\sl n} then press [C] to move to column {\sl n} in the alignment.
+\item {\bf Jump to Residue {\sl n}:} Type a number {\sl n} then press [P] to move to residue number {\sl n} in the current sequence.
+\item {\bf Jump to column {\sl m} row {\sl n}:} Type the column number {\sl m}, a comma, the row number {\sl n} and press [RETURN].
+\end{list}
+\subsection{The Find Dialog Box}
+\label{searchfunction}
+A further option for navigation is to use the {\sl Select $\Rightarrow$
+Find\ldots} function. This opens a dialog box into which can be entered regular
+expressions for searching sequences and sequence IDs, or sequence numbers.
+Hitting the [Find next] button will highlight the first (or next) occurrence of
+that pattern in the sequence ID panel or the alignment, and will adjust the view
+in order to display the highlighted region. The Jalview Help provides
+comprehensive documentation for this function, and a quick guide to the regular
+expressions that can be used with it.
+%TODO insert a figure for the Find dialog box
+
+\exercise{Navigation}{
+Jalview has two navigation and editing modes: {\bf normal} mode (where editing
+and navigation are via the mouse) and the {\bf cursor} mode (where editing and
+navigation are via the keyboard).
+The {\bf F2 key} is used to switch between these two modes. With a Mac often
+need to type function {\bf Fn key and F2}, as button is often assigned to
+screen brightness. Jalview always starts up in {\bf normal mode}.
+
+\exstep{Load an example alignment from its URL
+(\url{http://www.jalview.org/examples/exampleFile_2_7.jar}) via the Desktop
+using {\sl File $\Rightarrow$ Input Alignment $\Rightarrow$ From URL} dialog
+box.
+(The URL should be stored in its history and clicking on the {\sl down arrow} is
+an easy way to access it.)}
+\exstep{Scroll around the alignment using the alignment (vertical) and ruler (horizontal) scroll bars.}
+\exstep{Find the Overview Window, {\sl Views
+$\Rightarrow$ Overview Window} and open it. Move around the
+alignment by clicking and dragging the red box in the overview window.}
+\exstep{Return to the alignment window. Look at the status bar (lower left hand
+corner of the alignment window) as you move the mouse over the alignment. It indicates information about the
+sequence and residue under the cursor.}
+\exstep{Press [F2] key (or [Fn]/[F2] on Mac) to enter {\bf Cursor mode}. Use
+the direction keys to move the cursor around the alignment.}
+\exstep{Move to sequence 7 by pressing {\bf 7 S}. Move to column 18 by pressing
+{\bf 1 8 C}. Move to residue 18 by pressing {\bf 1 8 P}. Note that these can be
+two different positions if gaps are inserted into the sequence. Move to sequence 5,
+column 13 by typing {\bf 1 3 , 5 [RETURN]}.}
+
+{\bf Note:} To view Jalview's comprehensive on-line help documentations select
+Help on desktop menu, clicking on Documentation will open a Documentation
+window. Select topic from the navigation panel on the left hand side or use the
+Search tab to select specific key words.

+\section{Loading Sequences and Alignments}
+\label{loadingseqs}
+%Jalview provides many ways to load your own sequences. %For this section of the
+% tutorial you will need to download the file http://www.jalview.org/tutorial/alignment.fa to a suitable location on your hard drive.
+\subsection{Drag and Drop}
+ In most operating systems you can just drag a file icon from a file browser
+ window and drop it on an open Jalview application window. The file will then be opened as a new alignment window. %You can try this with the tutorial file you have downloaded. When you have opened the file, close it again by selecting the close control on the window. If you drop an alignment file onto an open alignment window it will be appended.
+ Drag and drop also works when loading data from a URL -
+simply drag the link or url from the address panel of your browser on to an
+alignment or the Jalview desktop background and Jalview will load data from the
+URL directly.

+\subsection{From a File}
+Jalview can read sequence alignments from a sequence alignment file. This is a
+text file, {\bf not} a word processor document. For entering sequences from a
+wordprocessor document see Cut and Paste (Section \ref{cutpaste}) below. Select
+{\sl File $\Rightarrow$ Input Alignment $\Rightarrow$ From File} from the main
+menu (Figure \ref{loadfile}). You will then get a file selection window where
+you can choose the file to open. Remember to select the appropriate file type.
+Jalview can automatically identify some sequence file formats.

+
+\subsection{From a URL}
+Jalview can read sequence alignments directly from a URL. Please note that the
+files must be in a sequence alignment format - an HTML alignment or graphics
+file cannot be read by Jalview.
+Select {\sl File $\Rightarrow$ Input Alignment $\Rightarrow$ From URL} from the
+main menu and a window will appear asking you to enter the URL (Figure
+\ref{loadurl}). Jalview will attempt to automatically discover the file format.

+\end{center}
+\end{figure}
+
+\subsection{Cut and Paste}
+\label{cutpaste}
+Documents such as those produced by Microsoft Word cannot be readily understood
+by Jalview. The way to read sequences from these documents is to select the
+data from the document and copy it to the clipboard. There are two ways to
+do this. One is to right-click on the desktop background, and select the
+`Paste to new alignment' option in the menu that appears. The other is to select
+{\sl File $\Rightarrow$ Input Alignment $\Rightarrow$ From Textbox} from the
+main menu, and paste the sequences into the textbox window that will appear
+(Figure \ref{loadtext}). In both cases, presuming that they are in the right
+format, Jalview will happily read them into a new alignment window.

+\end{figure}
+
+
+\subsection{From a Public Database}
+\label{fetchseq}
+Jalview can retrieve sequences and sequence alignments from the public databases
+housed at the European Bioinformatics Institute, including Uniprot, Pfam, Rfam
+and the PDB, as well as any DAS sequence server registered at the configured DAS
+registry. Jalview's sequence fetching capabilities allow you to avoid having to
+manually locate and save sequences from a web page before loading them into
+Jalview. It also allows Jalview to gather additional metadata provided by the
+source, such as annotation and database cross-references.
+Select {\sl File $\Rightarrow$ Fetch Sequence(s) \ldots} from the main menu and
+a window will appear (Figure \ref{loadseq}). Pressing the database selection
+button in the dialog box opens a new window showing all the database sources
+Jalview can access (grouped by the type of database). Once you've selected the
+appropriate database, hit OK close the database selection window, and then enter
+one or several database IDs or accession numbers separated by a semicolon and
+press OK. Jalview will then attempt to retrieve them from the chosen database.
+Example queries are provided for some databases to test that a source is
+operational, and can also be used as a guide for the type of accession numbers
+understood by the source.\footnote{Most DAS sources support {\em range queries}
+that can be used to download just a particular range from a sequence database
+record.}

+\subsection{Memory Limits}
+\label{memorylimits}
+Jalview is a Java program. One unfortunate implication of this is that Jalview
+cannot dynamically request additional memory from the operating system. It is
+important, therefore, that you ensure that you have allocated enough memory to
+work with your data. On most occasions, Jalview will warn you when you have
+tried to load an alignment that is too big to fit in to memory (for instance,
+some of the PFAM alignments are {\bf very} large). You can find out how much
+memory is available to Jalview with the desktop window's {\sl $\Rightarrow$
+Tools $\Rightarrow$ Show Memory Usage} function, which enables the display of
+the currently available memory at the bottom left hand side of the Desktop
+window's background. Should you need to increase the amount of memory available
+to Jalview, full instructions are given in the built in documentation (opened by
+selecting {\sl Help $\Rightarrow$ Documentation}) and on the JVM memory
+parameters page (\url{http://www.jalview.org/jvmmemoryparams.html}).

+\section{Saving Sequences and Alignments}
+\label{savingalignments}
+\subsection{Saving Alignments} Jalview allows the
+current sequence alignments to be saved to file so they can be restored at a
+later date, passed to colleagues or analysed in other programs. From the
+alignment window menu select {\sl File $\Rightarrow$ Save As} and a dialog box
+will appear (Figure \ref{savealign}). You can navigate to an appropriate
+directory in which to save the alignment. Jalview will remember the last filename
+and format used to save (or load) the alignment, enabling you to quickly save
+the file during or after editing by using the {\sl File $\Rightarrow$ Save} entry.
+
+Jalview offers several different formats in which an alignment can be saved. The
+jalview format (.jar) is the only format which will preserve the colours,
+groupings and other additional information in the alignment. The other formats
+produce text files containing just the sequences with no visualization information, although some
+allow limited annotation and sequence features to be stored (e.g. AMSA).
+Unfortunately only Jalview program can read Jalview files. The {\sl File
+$\Rightarrow$ Output To Textbox} menu option allows the alignment to be copied and pasted into
+other documents or web servers.

+\chapter{Selecting and Editing Sequences }
+\label{jalviewediting}
+
+\label{selectingandediting}
+Jalview makes extensive use of selections - most of the commands available from
+its menus operate on the {\sl currently selected region} of the alignment, either to
+change their appearance or perform some kind of analysis. This section
+illustrates how to make and use selections and groups.
+
+\section{Selecting Parts of an Alignment}
+Selections can be of arbitrary regions in an alignment, one or more complete columns, or one or
+more complete sequences.
+A selected region can be copied and pasted as a new alignment
+using the {\sl Edit $\Rightarrow$ Copy} and {\sl Edit $\Rightarrow$ Paste $\Rightarrow$ To New
+Alignment} in the alignment window menu options.
+{\bf To clear (unselect) the selection press the [ESC] (escape) key.}
+
+\subsection{Selecting Arbitrary Regions}
+To select part of an alignment, place the mouse at the top left corner of the region you wish to select. Press and hold the mouse button and drag the mouse to the bottom right corner of the chosen region then release the mouse button. A dashed red box appears around the selected region (Figure \ref{select}).
+%[fig 12]
+
+\begin{figure}[htbp]
+\begin{center}
+\includegraphics[width=4in]{images/select1.pdf}
+\caption{{\bf Selecting a region in an alignment.}}
+\label{select}
+\end{center}
+\end{figure}
+
+\subsection{Selecting Columns}
+To select the same residues in all sequences, click and drag along the alignment ruler.
+This selects the entire column of the alignment. Ranges of positions from the
+alignment ruler can also be selected by clicking on the first position and then
+holding down the [SHIFT] key whilst clicking the other end of the selection.
+Discontinuous regions can be selected by holding down [CTRL] and clicking on positions to add to the column selection. Note that each [CTRL]-Click changes the current selected sequence region to that column, but adds to the column selection. Selected columns are indicated by red highlighting in the ruler bar (Figure \ref{selectcols}).
+%[fig 13]
+
+\begin{figure}[htbp]
+\begin{center}
+\includegraphics[width=4in]{images/select2.pdf}
+\caption{{\bf Selecting multiple columns in an alignment.} The red highlighting
+on the alignment ruler marks the selected columns. Note that only the most
+recently selected column has a dashed-box around it to indicate a region
+selection. }
+\label{selectcols}
+\end{center}
+\end{figure}
+
+\subsection{Selecting Sequences}
+
+\begin{figure}[htb]
+\begin{center}
+\includegraphics[width=4in]{images/select3.pdf}
+\caption{{\bf Selecting multiple sequences in an alignment.} Use [CTRL] or [SHIFT] to select many sequences at once.}
+\label{selectrows}
+\end{center}
+\end{figure}
+
+To select multiple complete sequences, click and drag the mouse down the
+sequence ID panel. The same techniques as used for columns (above) can be used
+with [SHIFT]-Click for continuous and [CTRL]-Click to select discontinuous
+ranges of sequences (Figure \ref{selectrows}).
+%[fig 14]
+
+\subsection{Making Selections in Cursor Mode}
+
+To define a selection in cursor mode (which is enabled by pressing [F2] when the alignment window is selected),
+navigate to the top left corner of the proposed selection (using the mouse, the arrow keys, or the keystroke
+commands described in Section \ref{cursormode}). Pressing the [Q] key marks this as the
+corner. A red outline appears around the cursor (Figure \ref{cselect}).
+
+Navigate to the bottom right corner of the proposed selection and press the [M] key. This marks the bottom right corner of the selection. The selection can then be treated in the same way as if it had been created in normal mode.
+

+\caption{{\bf Creating a new group from a selection.}}
+\label{makegroup}
+\end{center}
+\end{figure}
+
+\subsection{Inverting the Current Selection}
+The current sequence or column selection can be inverted, using {\sl Select
+$\Rightarrow$ Invert Sequence/Column Selection} in the alignment window.
+Inverting the selection is useful when selecting large regions in an alignment,
+simply select the region that is to be kept unselected, and then invert the selection.
+This may also be useful when hiding large regions in an alignment (see Section \ref{hidingregions}
+below).
+Instead of selecting the columns and rows that are to be hidden, simply select the
+region that is to be kept
+visible, invert the selection, then select {\sl View $\Rightarrow$ Hide
+$\Rightarrow$ Selected Region}.
+
+\section{Creating Groups}
+Selections are lost as soon as a different region is selected. Groups can be
+created which are labeled regions of the alignment. To create a group, first
+select the region which is to comprise the group. Then click the right mouse
+button on the selection to bring up a context menu. Select {\sl Selection
+$\Rightarrow$ Group $\Rightarrow$ Edit name and description of
+current group}\footnote{In earlier versions of Jalview, this entry was variously
+`Group', `Edit Group Name', or `JGroupXXXXX' (Where XXXXX was some serial
+number).} then enter a name for the group in the dialogue box which appears.
+
+By default the new group will have a box drawn around it. The appearance of the group can be changed (see Section \ref{colours} below). This group will stay defined even when the selection is removed.
+
+\exercise{Making Selections and Groups}{

+
+\section{Exporting the Current Selection}
+The current selection can be copied to the clipboard (in PFAM format). It can
+also be output to a textbox using the output functions in the pop-up menu
+obtained by right clicking the current selection. The textbox enables quick
+manual editing of the alignment prior to importing it into a new window (using
+the [New Window] button) or saving to a file with the {\sl File $\Rightarrow$
+Save As } pulldown menu option from the text box.
+
+\section{Reordering an Alignment}
+Sequence reordering is simple. Highlight the sequences to be moved then press the up or down arrow keys as appropriate (Figure \ref{reorder}). If you wish to move a sequence up past several other sequences it is often quicker to select the group past which you want to move it and then move the group rather than the individual sequence.

+this will not work in cursor mode)}
+\exstep{To select and move multiple

+
+
+\section{Hiding Regions}
+\label{hidingregions}
+It is sometimes convenient to exclude some sequences or residues in the alignment without actually deleting them. Jalview allows sequences or alignment columns within a view to be hidden, and this facility has been used to create the several different views in the example alignment file that is loaded when Jalview is first started (See Figure \ref{startpage}).
+
+To hide a set of sequences, select them and right-click the mouse on the
+selected sequence IDs to bring up the context pop-up menu. Select {\sl Hide
+Sequences} and the sequences will be concealed, with a small blue triangle indicating their position (Figure \ref{hideseq}). To unhide (reveal) the sequences, right click on the triangle and select {\sl Reveal Sequences} from the context menu.
+
+
+ \begin{figure}[htbp]
+\begin{center}
+\includegraphics[width=1.5in]{images/hide1.pdf}
+\includegraphics[width=2.5in]{images/hide2.pdf}
+\includegraphics[width=1.75in]{images/hide3.pdf}
+\caption{{\bf Hiding Sequences} Hidden sequences are represented by a small blue
+triangle in the sequence ID panel.}
+\label{hideseq}
+\end{center}
+\end{figure}
+
+A similar mechanism applies to columns (Figure \ref{hidecol}). Selected columns
+(indicated by a red marker) can be hidden and revealed in the same way {\sl via}
+the context pop-up menu by right clicking on the ruler bar. The hidden column
+selection is indicated by a small blue triangle in the ruler bar.
+
+ \begin{figure}[htbp]
+\begin{center}
+\includegraphics[width=2in]{images/hide4.pdf}
+\includegraphics[width=3in]{images/hide5.pdf}
+\includegraphics[width=1in]{images/hide6.pdf}
+\caption{{\bf Hiding Columns} Hidden columns are represented by a small blue
+triangle in the ruler bar.}
+\label{hidecol}
+\end{center}
+\end{figure}
+
+It is often easier to select the region that you intend to work with, rather
+than the regions that you want to hide. In this case, select the required region and use the {\sl View $\Rightarrow$ Hide
+$\Rightarrow$ All but Selected Region } menu entry, or press [Shift]+[Ctrl]+H
+to hide the unselected region.
+
+\subsection{Representing a Group with a Single Sequence}
+
+Instead of hiding a group completely, it is sometimes useful to work with just one representative sequence. The {\sl $<$Sequence ID$>$ $\Rightarrow$ Represent group with $<$Sequence ID$>$ } option from the sequence ID pop-up menu enables this variant of the hidden groups function. The remaining representative sequence can be visualized and manipulated like any other. However, any alignment edits that affect the sequence will also affect the whole sequence group.
+
+\exercise{Hiding and Revealing Regions}{
+\exstep{Close all windows, open the PFAM accession PF03460. Select a
+contiguous set of sequences by clicking and dragging on the sequence ID panel.
+Right click on the selected sequence IDs to bring up the sequence ID pop-up
+menu, select {\sl Hide Sequences}.
+}
+\exstep{
+Right click on the blue triangle indicating hidden sequences and select {\sl
+Reveal Sequences} in the panel. (If you have hidden all sequences then you will
+need to use the alignment window menu option {\sl View $\Rightarrow$ Show $\Rightarrow$
+All Sequences.}) }
+\exstep{
+Repeat the process but use a non-contiguous set of sequences. Note that when
+multiple regions are hidden there are two options, {\sl Reveal Sequences} and {\sl Reveal All}.
+}
+\exstep{Repeat the above using columns to hide and reveal columns
+instead of sequences.}
+\exstep{Select a region of the alignment, then add in some additional columns to
+the selection, and experiment with the `Hide all but selected region' function
+in {\sl View $\Rightarrow$ Hide $\Rightarrow$ All but selected region.}}
+\exstep{Select some sequences and pick one to represent the rest by hovering
+the mouse over this sequence. Bring up the Sequence ID pop-up menu by right
+clicking and then select {\sl (Sequence ID name) $\Rightarrow$ Represent group
+with (Sequence ID name )}. To reveal these hidden sequences, right click on the
+Sequence ID and in the pop-up menu select Reveal All.}

+\end{center}
+\end{figure}
+
+\section{Introducing and Removing Gaps}
+The alignment view provides an interactive editing interface, allowing gaps to be inserted or deleted to the left of any position in a sequence or sequence group. Alignment editing can only be performed whilst in keyboard editing mode (entered by pressing [F2]) or by clicking and dragging residues with the mouse when [SHIFT] or [CTRL] is held down (which differs from earlier versions of Jalview).
+
+\subsection{Locked Editing}
+\label{lockededits}
+The Jalview alignment editing model is different to that used in other alignment
+editors. Because edits are restricted to the insertion and deletion of gaps to the left of a particular sequence position,
+editing has the effect of shifting the rest of the sequence(s) being edited down or up-stream with respect to the rest of
+alignment. The {\sl Edit $\Rightarrow$ Pad Gaps} option can be enabled to eliminate `ragged edges' at the end of the alignment,
+but does not avoid the `knock-on' effect which is sometimes undesirable.
+However, its effect can be limited by performing the edit within a selected region.
+In this case, gaps will only be removed or inserted within the selected region.
+Edits are similarly constrained when they occur adjacent to a hidden column.
+
+\subsection{Introducing Gaps in a Single Sequence}
+To introduce a gap, first select the sequence in the sequence ID panel and
+then place the cursor on the residue to the immediate right of where the gap
+should appear. Hold down the SHIFT key and the left mouse button, then drag the sequence to the right until the required number of gaps has been inserted.
+
+One common error is to forget to hold down [SHIFT]. This results in a selection which is one sequence high and one residue long. Gaps cannot be inserted in such a selection. The selection can be cleared and editing enabled by pressing the [ESC] key.
+
+\subsection{Introducing Gaps in all Sequences of a Group}
+To insert gaps in all sequences in a selection or group, select the
+required sequences in the sequence ID panel and then place the mouse cursor on
+any residue in the selection or group to the immediate right of the position in which a gap should appear. Hold down the CTRL key and the left mouse button, then drag the sequences to the right until the required number of gaps has appeared.
+
+Gaps can be removed by dragging the residue to the immediate right of the gap
+leftwards whilst holding down [SHIFT] (for single sequences) or [CTRL] (for a group of sequences).
+
+\subsection{Sliding Sequences}
+Pressing the [$\leftarrow$] or [$\rightarrow$] arrow keys when one or more
+sequences are selected will ``slide'' the entire selected sequences to the left
+or right (respectively). Slides occur regardless of the region selection -
+which, for example, allows you to easily reposition misaligned subfamilies
+within a larger alignment.

+\chapter{Colouring Sequences and Figure Generation}
+\label{colouringfigures}
+\section{Colouring Sequences}
+\label{colours}
+
+Colouring sequences is a key aspect of alignment presentation. Jalview allows
+you to colour the whole alignment, or just specific groups. Alignment and
+group colours are rendered
+{\sl below} any other colours, such as those arising from sequence features
+(these are described in Section \ref{featannot}). This means that if you
+try to apply one of the colourschemes described in this section, and nothing
+appears to happen, it may be that you have sequence feature annotation
+displayed, and you may have to disable it using the {\sl View $\Rightarrow$
+Show Features} option before you can see your colourscheme.
+
+There are two main types of colouring styles: {\bf simple static residue}
+colourschemes and {\bf dynamic schemes} which use conservation and consensus
+analysis to control colouring. {\bf Hybrid colouring} is also possible, where
+static residue schemes are modified using a dynamic scheme. The individual schemes are described in Section \ref{colscheme} below.
+
+\subsection{Colouring the Whole Alignment}
+
+\parbox[c]{3.75in}{The alignment can be coloured {\sl via} the {\sl Colour} menu option in the alignment window. Selecting the colour scheme causes all residues to be coloured. The menu is divided into three sections. The first section gives options for the behaviour of the menu options, the second lists static and dynamic colourschemes available for selection. The last gives options for making hybrid colourschemes using conservation shading or colourscheme thresholding.
+
+}\parbox[c]{3in}{
+\centerline {
+\includegraphics[width=2.5in]{images/colour2.pdf}
+}
+}
+
+\subsection{Colouring a Group or Selection}
+
+Selections or groups can be coloured in two ways. The first is {\sl via} the Alignment Window's {\sl Colour} menu as stated above,
+ after first ensuring that the {\sl Apply Colour To All Groups} flag is {\bf
+ not} selected.
+ This must be turned {\sl off} specifically as it is {\sl on} by default.
+ When unticked, selections from the Colours menu will only change the colour for residues in the current selection,
+ or the alignment view's ``background colourscheme'' when no selection exists.
+
+The second method is to select sequences and right click mouse to open pop-up
+menu and select {\sl Selection $\Rightarrow$ Edit New Group $\Rightarrow$ Group
+Colour} from context menu options
+(Figure \ref{colgrp}). This only changes the colour of the current selection or group.
+

+\caption{{\bf Colouring a group via the context menu.}}
+\label{colgrp}
+\end{center}
+\end{figure}
+
+\subsection{Shading by Conservation}
+For many colour schemes, the intensity of the colour in a column can be scaled
+by the degree of amino acid property conservation. Selecting {\sl Colour
+$\Rightarrow$ By Conservation} enables this mode, and {\sl Modify
+Conservation Threshold...} brings up a selection box (the {\sl Conservation
+Colour Increment} dialog box) allowing the alignment colouring to be modified.
+Selecting a higher value limits colouring to more highly conserved columns (Figure \ref{colcons}).
+
+ \begin{figure}[htbp]

+}
+\label{colcons}
+\end{center}
+\end{figure}
+
+\subsection{Thresholding by Percentage Identity}
+
+`Thresholding' is another hybrid colour model where a residue is only coloured
+if it is not excluded by an applied threshold. Selecting {\sl Colour $\Rightarrow$ Above Identity Threshold} brings up a selection box with a slider controlling the minimum percentage identity threshold to be applied. Selecting a higher threshold (by sliding to the right) limits the colouring to columns with a higher percentage identity (as shown by the Consensus histogram in the annotation panel).
+
+\subsection{Colouring by Annotation}
+\label{colourbyannotation}
+\parbox[c]{3.2in}{
+Any of the {\bf quantitative} annotations shown on an alignment can be used to
+threshold or shade the whole alignment.\footnote{Please remember to turn off
+Sequence Feature display to see the shading}
+
+The {\sl Colour $\Rightarrow$ By
+Annotation} option opens a dialog which allows you to select which annotation
+to use, the minimum and maximum shading colours or whether the original
+colouring should be thresholded (the `Use original colours' option).
+
+Default settings for minimum and maximum colours can be set in the Jalview
+Desktop's preferences.
+}\parbox[c]{3in}{
+\centerline{\includegraphics[width=2.8in]{images/col_byannot.pdf}}}
+
+The {\bf per Sequence} option in the {\bf Colour By Annotation} dialog
+allows each sequence to be shaded according to sequence associated annotation
+rows, such as protein disorder scores. This functionality is described further
+in Section \ref{protdisorderpred}.
+
+\subsection{Colour Schemes}
+
+\label{colscheme}
+Full details on each colour scheme can be found in the Jalview on-line help. A brief description of each one is provided below:
+
+\subsubsection{ClustalX}
+
+
+ \parbox[c]{3.5in}{This is an emulation of the default colourscheme used for alignments in ClustalX, a graphical interface for the ClustalW multiple sequence alignment program.

+
+\subsubsection{Blosum62}
+
+\parbox[c]{3.5in}{Gaps are coloured white. If a residue matches the consensus sequence residue at that position it is coloured dark blue. If it does not match the consensus residue but the Blosum62 matrix gives a positive score, it is coloured light blue.}

+
+\subsubsection{Percentage Identity}
+\parbox[c]{3.5in}{

+\section{Formatting and Graphics Output}
+\label{layoutandoutput}
+Jalview is a WYSIWIG alignment editor. This means that for most kinds of graphics output,
+the layout that is seen on screen will be the same as what is outputted in an
+exported graphics file.
+It is therefore important to pick the right kind of display layout prior to generating figures.
+
+\subsection{Multiple Alignment Views}
+
+Jalview is able to create multiple independent visualizations of the same underlying alignment - these are called {\sl Views}. Because each view displays the same underlying data, any edits performed in one view will update the alignment or annotation visible in all views.
+
+\parbox[c]{4in}{Alignment views are created using the {\sl View $\Rightarrow$ New View} option of the alignment window or by Pressing [CTRL]-T. This will create a new view with the same groups, alignment layout and display options as the current one. Pressing G will gather together Views as named tabs on the alignment window, and pressing X will expand gathered Views so they can be viewed simultaneously in their own separate windows. To delete a group, press [CTRL]-W.}\parbox[c]{2.75in}{

+
+% JBPNote make an excercise on views ?
+
+\subsection{Alignment Layout}
+Jalview provides two screen layout modes, unwrapped (the default) where the alignment is in one long line across the window, and wrapped, where the alignment is on multiple lines, each the width of the window. Most layout options are controlled by the Format menu option in the alignment window, and control the overall look of the alignment in the view (rather than just a selected region).
+
+\subsubsection{Wrapped Alignments}
+Wrapped alignments can be toggled on and off using the {\sl Format $\Rightarrow$ Wrap} menu option (Figure \ref{wrap}). Note that the annotation lines are also wrapped. Wrapped alignments are great for publications and presentations but are of limited use when working with large numbers of sequences.
+
+If annotations are not all visible in wrapped mode, expand the alignment window to view them. Note that alignment annotation (see Section \ref{featannot}) cannot be interactively created or edited in wrapped mode, and selection of large regions is difficult.
+\begin{figure}[htbp]

+\end{figure}
+
+
+\subsubsection{Fonts}
+
+\parbox[c]{4in}{The text appearance in a view can be modified {\sl via} the {\sl Format $\Rightarrow$ Font\ldots} alignment window menu. This setting applies for all alignment and annotation text except for that displayed in tool-tips. Additionally, font size and spacing can be adjusted rapidly by clicking the middle mouse button and dragging across the alignment window.}
+\parbox[c]{2in}{\centerline{\includegraphics[width=1.75in]{images/font.pdf}}}
+
+\subsubsection{Numbering and Label Justification}
+Options in the {\sl Format} menu are provided to control the alignment view, and provide a range of options to control the display of sequence and alignment numbering, the justification of sequence IDs and annotation row column labels on the annotation rows shown below the alignment.
+
+\subsubsection{Alignment and Group Colouring and Appearance}
+The display of hidden row/column markers and gap characters can be turned off with {\sl Format $\Rightarrow$ Hidden Markers} and {\sl Format $\Rightarrow$ Show Gaps}, respectively. The {\sl Text} and {\sl Colour Text} option controls the display of sequence text and the application of alignment and group colouring to it. {\sl Boxes } controls the display of the background area behind each residue that is coloured by the applied coloursheme.
+
+\subsubsection{Highlighting Nonconserved Symbols}
+The alignment layout and group sub-menu both contain an option to hide
+conserved symbols from the alignment display ({\sl Format $\Rightarrow$ Show
+nonconserved } in the alignment window or {\sl Selection $\Rightarrow$ Group
+$\Rightarrow$ Show Nonconserved} by right clicking on a group). This mode is useful when working with
+alignments that exhibit a high degree of homology, because Jalview will only
+display gaps or sequence symbols that differ from the consensus for each
+column, and render all others with a `.'.
+%TODO add a graphic to illustrate this.
+\subsection{Annotation Ordering and Display}
+% TODO: describe consensus, conservation, quality user preferences, and group
+% annotation preferences.
+The annotation lines which appear below the sequence alignment are described in
+detail in Section \ref{featannot}. They can be hidden by toggling the {\sl View
+$\Rightarrow$ Show Annotations} menu option. Additionally, each annotation line
+can be hidden and revealed in the same way as sequences {\sl via} the
+pop-up context menu on the annotation name panel (Figure \ref{annot}).
+Annotations can be reordered by dragging the annotation line label on the annotation label panel. Placing the
+mouse over the top annotation label brings up a resize icon on the left. When this is
+displayed, Click-dragging up and down provides more space in the alignment window for viewing the annotations, and less space for the sequence alignment.

+\chapter{Annotation and Features}
+\label{featannot}
+Features and annotations are additional information that is overlaid on the sequences and the alignment. Generally speaking, annotations are associated with columns in the alignment. Features are associated with specific residues in the sequence.
+
+Annotations are shown below the alignment in the annotation panel, and often reflect properties of the alignment as a whole.
+Conversely, sequence features are properties of the individual sequences, so they do not change with the alignment,
+but are shown mapped on to specific residues within the alignment.
+
+Features and annotation can be interactively created, or retrieved from external
+data sources. DAS (the Distributed Annotation System) is the primary source of
+sequence features, whilst webservices like JNet (see \ref{jpred} above) can be used to analyse a
+given sequence or alignment and generate annotation for it.
+
+
+\section{Conservation, Quality and Conservation Annotation}
+\label{annotationintro}
+Jalview automatically calculates several quantitative alignment annotations
+which are displayed as histograms below the multiple sequence alignment columns.
+Conservation, quality and conservation scores are examples of dynamic
+annotation, so as the alignment changes, they change along with it.
+The scores can be used in the hybrid colouring options to shade the alignments.
+Mousing over a conservation histogram reveals a tooltip with more information.
+
+These annotations can be hidden and deleted via the context menu linked to the
+annotation row; but they are only created on loading an alignment. If they are
+deleted then the alignment should be saved and then reloaded to restore them.
+Jalview provides a toggle to autocalculate a consensus sequence upon editing. This is normally selected by default, but can be turned off for
+large alignments {\sl via} the {\sl Calculate $\Rightarrow$ Autocalculate
+Consensus} menu option if the interface is too slow.
+
+\subsubsection{Conservation Annotation}
+
+Alignment conservation annotation is quantitative numerical index reflecting the
+conservation of the physico-chemical properties for each column of the alignment.
+The calculation is based on AMAS method of multiple sequence alignment analysis (Livingstone C.D. and Barton G.J. (1993) CABIOS Vol. 9 No. 6 p745-756),
+with identities scoring highest, and amino acids with substitutions in the same physico-chemical class have next highest score.
+The score for each column is shown below the histogram.
+The conserved columns with a score of 11 are indicated by '*'.
+Columns with a score of 10 have mutations but all properties are conserved are marked with a '+'.
+
+\subsubsection{Consensus Annotation}
+
+Alignment consensus annotation reflects the percentage of the different residue
+per column. By default this calculation includes gaps in columns, gaps can be ignored via the Consensus label context
+menu to the left of the consensus bar chart.
+The consensus histogram can be overlaid
+with a sequence logo that reflects the symbol distribution at each column of
+the alignment. Right click on the Consensus annotation row and select the {\sl Show
+Logo} option to display the Consensus profile for the group or alignment.
+Sequence logos can be enabled by default for all new alignments {\sl via} the
+Visual tab in the Jalview desktop's preferences dialog box.
+
+\subsubsection{Quality Annotation}
+
+Alignment quality annotation is an ad-hoc measure of the likelihood of observing
+the mutations (if any) in a particular column of the alignment. The quality score is calculated for each column in an alignment by summing,
+for all mutations, the ratio of the two BLOSUM 62 scores for a mutation pair and each residue's conserved BLOSUM62 score (which is higher).
+This value is normalised for each column, and then plotted on a scale from 0 to 1.
+
+\subsubsection{Group Associated Annotation}
+\label{groupassocannotation}
+Group associated consensus and conservation annotation rows reflect the
+sequence variation within a particular group. Their calculation is enabled
+by selecting the {\sl Group Conservation} or {\sl Group Consensus} options in
+the {\sl Annotation $\Rightarrow$ Autocalculated Annotation } submenu of the
+alignment window.
+
+\subsection{Creating User Defined Annotation}
+
+Annotations are properties that apply to the alignment as a whole and are visualized on rows in the annotation panel.
+To create a new annotation row, right click on the annotation label panel and select the {\sl Add New Row} menu option (Figure \ref{newannotrow}).
+A dialogue box appears. Enter the label to use for this row and a new row will appear.
+
+To create a new annotation, first select all the positions to be annotated on the appropriate row.
+Right-clicking on this selection brings up the context menu which allows the insertion of graphics for secondary structure ({\sl Helix} or {\sl Sheet}),
+text {\sl Label} and the colour in which to present the annotation (Figure \ref{newannot}). On selecting {\sl Label} a dialogue box will appear,
+requesting the text to place at that position. After the text is entered, the selection can be removed and the annotation becomes clearly
+visible\footnote{When annotating a block of positions, the text can be partly obscured by the selection highlight. Pressing the [ESC] key clears
+the selection and the label is then visible.}. Annotations can be coloured or deleted as desired.

+
+\section{Importing Features from Databases}
+\label{featuresfromdb}
+Jalview supports feature retrieval from public databases either directly or {\sl
+via} the Distributed Annotation System (DAS\footnote{http://www.biodas.org/}).
+It includes built in parsers for Uniprot and ENA (or EMBL) records retrieved
+from the EBI. Sequences retrieved from these sources using the sequence fetcher (see
+Section \ref{fetchseq}) will already possess features.
+
+\subsection{Sequence Database Reference Retrieval}
+\label{fetchdbrefs}
+Jalview maintains a list of external database references for each sequence in
+an alignment. These are listed in a tooltip when the mouse is moved over the
+sequence ID when the {\sl View $\Rightarrow$ Sequence ID Tooltip $\Rightarrow$
+Show Database Refs } option is enabled. Sequences retrieved using the sequence
+fetcher will always have at least one database reference, but alignments
+imported from an alignment file generally have no database references.
+
+\subsubsection{Database References and Sequence Coordinate Systems}
+
+Jalview displays features in the local sequence's coordinate system which is
+given by its `start' and `end'. Any sequence features on the sequence will be
+rendered relative to the sequence's start position. If the start/end positions
+do not match the coordinate system from which the features were defined, then
+the features will be displayed incorrectly.
+
+\subsubsection{Viewing and Exporting a Sequence's Database Annotation}
+
+You can export all the database cross references and annotation terms shown in
+the sequence ID tooltip for a sequence by right-clicking and selecting the {\sl
+[Sequence ID] $\Rightarrow$ Sequence details \ldots} option from the popup menu.
+A similar option is provided in the {\sl Selection} sub-menu allowing you to
+obtain annotation for the sequences currently selected.
+
+\parbox[l]{3.4in}{
+The {\sl Sequence Details
+\ldots} option will open a window containing the same text as would be shown in
+the tooltip window, including any web links associated with the sequence. The
+text is HTML, and options on the window allow the raw code to be copied and
+pasted into a web page.}
+\parbox[c]{3in}{
+\centerline{\includegraphics[width=2.2in]{images/seqdetailsreport.pdf}}}
+
+\subsubsection{Automatically Discovering a Sequence's Database References}
+Jalview includes a function to automatically verify and update each sequence's
+start and end numbering against any of the sequence databases that the {\sl
+Sequence Fetcher} has access to. This function is accessed from the {\sl
+Webservice $\Rightarrow$ Fetch DB References} sub-menu in the Alignment
+window. This menu allows you to query either the set of {\sl Standard
+Databases}, which includes EMBL, Uniprot, the PDB, and the currently selected
+DAS sequence sources, or just a specific datasource from one of the submenus.
+When one of the entries from this menu is selected, Jalview will use the ID
+string from each sequence in the alignment or in the currently selected set to
+retrieve records from the external source. Any sequences that are retrieved are
+matched against the local sequence, and if the local sequence is found to be a
+sub-sequence of the retrieved sequence then the local sequence's start/end
+numbering is updated. A new database reference mapping is created, mapping the
+local sequence to the external database, and the local sequence inherits any
+additional annotation retrieved from the database sequence.
+
+The database retrieval process terminates when a valid mapping is found for a
+sequence, or if all database queries failed to retrieve a matching sequence.
+Termination is indicated by the disappearance of the moving progress indicator
+on the alignment window. A dialog box may be shown once it completes which
+lists sequences for which records were found, but the sequence retrieved from
+the database did not exactly contain the sequence given in the alignment (the
+{\sl ``Sequence not 100\% match'' dialog box}).
+
+\exercise{Retrieving Database References}{
+\exstep{Load the example alignment at http://www.jalview.org/tutorial/alignment.fa}
+\exstep{Verify that there are no database references for the sequences by first
+checking that the {\sl View $\Rightarrow$ Sequence ID Tooltip $\Rightarrow$ Show

+\exstep{Use the {\sl Webservice $\Rightarrow$ Fetch DB References} menu option to retrieve database IDs for the sequences.}
+\exstep{Examine the tooltips for each sequence in the alignment as the retrieval progresses - note the appearance of new database references.}

+\exstep{View the {\sl Sequence details \ldots} report for the FER1\_SPIOL sequence and for the whole alignment. Which sequences have web links associated with them ?}
+
+}
+
+\subsection{Retrieving Features {\sl via} DAS}
+\label{dasfretrieval}
+Jalview includes a client to retrieve features from DAS annotation servers. To
+retrieve features, select {\sl View $\Rightarrow$ Feature Settings\ldots} from the alignment window menu. Select the {\sl DAS Settings} tab in the Sequence Feature Settings Window (Figure \ref{das}). A list of DAS sources compiled from the currently configured DAS registry\footnote{By default, this will be the major public DAS server registry maintained by the Sanger Institute: http://www.dasregistry.org} is shown in the left hand pane. Highlighting an entry on the left brings up information about that source in the right hand panel.
+
+\begin{figure}[htbp]
+\begin{center}
+\includegraphics[width=2.5in]{images/das1.pdf}

+\caption{{\bf Retrieving DAS annotations.} DAS features are retrieved using the {\sl DAS Settings} tab (left) and their display customised using the {\sl Feature Settings} tab (right).}
+\label{das}
+\end{center}
+\end{figure}
+
+Select appropriate DAS sources as required then click on {\sl Fetch DAS
+Features}. If you know of additional sources not listed in the configured
+registry, then you may add them with the {\sl Add Local Source} button. Use
+the {\sl Authority},{\sl Type}, and {\sl Label} filters to restrict the list
+of sources to just those that will return features for the sequences in the
+alignment.
+
+Following DAS feature retrieval, the {\sl Feature Settings} panel takes on a
+slightly different appearance (Figure \ref{das} (right)). Each data source is
+listed and groups of features from one data source can be selected/deselected
+by checking the labelled box at the top of the panel.
+
+\exercise{Retrieving Features with DAS}{
+\label{dasfeatretrexcercise}
+\exstep{Load the alignment at
+\textsf{http://www.jalview.org/tutorial/alignment.fa}. Select {\sl View

+}
+\exstep{Reorder the features by dragging feature types up and down the order in the Feature Settings panel. e.g. Click on {\sl CHAIN} then move the mouse downwards to drag it below {\sl DOMAIN}.

+% TODO: describe working with features files and GFF
+}
+}
+
+\subsubsection{The Fetch Uniprot IDs Dialog Box}
+\label{discoveruniprotids}
+If any sources are selected which refer to Uniprot coordinates as their reference system,
+then you may be asked if you wish to retrieve Uniprot IDs for your sequence. Pressing OK instructs Jalview to verify the sequences against Uniprot records retrieved using the sequence's ID string. This operates in much the same way as the {\sl Web Service $\Rightarrow$ Fetch Database References } function described in Section \ref{fetchdbrefs}. If a sequence is verified, then the start/end numbering will be adjusted to match the Uniprot record to ensure that features retrieved from the DAS source are rendered at the correct position.
+
+\subsubsection{Rate of Feature Retrieval}
+Feature retrieval can take some time if a large number of sources is selected and if the alignment
+contains a large number of sequences. This is because Jalview only queries a particular DAS source with one sequence at a time, to avoid overloading it. As features are retrieved, they are immediately added to the current alignment view. The retrieved features are shown on the sequence and can be customised as described previously.
+
+
+\subsection{Colouring Features by Score or Description
+Text}
+\label{featureschemes}
+Sometimes, you may need to visualize the differences in information carried by
+sequence features of the same type. This is most often the case when features
+of a particular type are the result of a specific type of database query or calculation. Here, they may also carry information within their textual description, or most commonly for calculations, a score related to the property being investigated. Jalview can shade sequence
+features using a graduated colourscheme in order to highlight these variations.
+In order to apply a graduated scheme to a feature type, select the `Graduated
+colour' entry in the Sequence {\sl Feature Type}'s popup menu, which is opened by
+right-clicking the {\sl Feature Type} or {\sl Color} in the {\sl Sequence Feature Settings} dialog box. Two types
+of colouring styles are currently supported: the default is quantitative
+colouring, which shades each feature based on its score, with the highest
+scores receiving the `Max' colour, and the lowest scoring features coloured
+with the `Min' colour. Alternately, you can select the `Colour by label'
+option to create feature colours according to the description text associated
+with each feature. This is useful for general feature types - such as
+Uniprot's `DOMAIN' feature - where the actual type of domain is given in the
+feature's description.
+
+Graduated feature colourschemes can also be used to exclude low or
+high-scoring features from the alignment display. This is done by choosing your
+desired threshold type (either above or below), using the drop-down menu in the
+dialog box. Then, adjust the slider or enter a value in the text box to set the
+threshold for displaying this type of feature.
+
+The feature settings dialog box allows you to toggle between a graduated and
+simple feature colourscheme using the pop-up menu for the feature type. When a
+graduated scheme is applied, it will be indicated in the colour column for
+that feature type - with coloured blocks or text to indicate the colouring
+style and a greater than ($>$) or less than ($<$) symbol to indicate when a
+threshold has been defined.
+
+\subsection{Using Features to Re-order the Alignment}
+\label{featureordering}
+The presence of sequence features on certain sequences or in a particular
+region of an alignment can quantitatively identify important trends in
+the aligned sequences. In this case, it is more useful to
+re-order the alignment based on the number of features or their associated scores, rather than simply re-colour the aligned sequences. The sequence feature settings
+dialog box provides two buttons: `Seq sort by Density' and `Seq sort by
+Score', that allow you to reorder the alignment according to the number of
+sequence features present on each sequence, and also according to any scores
+associated with a feature. Each of these buttons uses the currently displayed
+features to determine the ordering, but
+if you wish to re-order the alignment using a single type of feature, then you can do this from the {\sl Feature Type}'s
+popup menu. Simply right-click the type's style in the Sequence Feature Settings dialog
+box, and select one of the {\sl Sort by Score} and {\sl Sort by Density}
+options to re-order the alignment. Finally, if a specific region is selected,
+then only features found in that region of the alignment will be used to
+create the new alignment ordering.

+
+\subsection{Creating Sequence Features}
+Sequence features can be created simply by selecting the area in a sequence (or sequences) to form the feature and selecting {\sl Selection $\Rightarrow$ Create Sequence Feature } from the right-click context menu (Figure \ref{features}). A dialogue box allows the user to customise the feature with respect to name, group, and colour. The feature is then associated with the sequence. Moving the mouse over a residue associated with a feature brings up a tool tip listing all features associated with the residue.
+
+\begin{figure}[htbp]
+\begin{center}
+\includegraphics[width=2in]{images/feature1.pdf}
+\includegraphics[width=2.5in]{images/feature2.pdf}
+\includegraphics[width=1.5in]{images/feature3.pdf}
+\caption{{\bf Creating sequence features.} Features can readily be created from selections via the context menu and are then displayed on the sequence. }
+\label{features}
+\end{center}
+\end{figure}
+
+Creation of features from a selection spanning multiple sequences results in the creation of one feature per sequence.
+Each feature remains associated with its own sequence.
+
+\subsection{Customising Feature Display}
+
+Feature display can be toggled on or off by selecting the {\sl View
+$\Rightarrow$ Show Sequence Features} menu option. When multiple features are
+present it is usually necessary to customise the display. Jalview allows the
+display, colour, rendering order and transparency of features to be modified
+{\sl via} the {\sl View $\Rightarrow$ Feature Settings\ldots} menu option. This
+brings up a dialogue window (Figure \ref{custfeat}) which allows the
+visibility of individual feature types to be selected, colours changed (by
+clicking on the colour of each sequence feature type) and the rendering order
+modified by dragging feature types to a new position in the list. Dragging the
+slider alters the transparency of the feature rendering. The Feature
+Settings dialog also includes functions for more advanced feature shading
+schemes and buttons for sorting the alignment according to the distribution of
+features. These capabilities are described further in sections
+\ref{featureschemes} and \ref{featureordering}.

+\subsection{Sequence Feature File Formats}
+
+Jalview supports the widely used GFF tab delimited format\footnote{see
+http://www.sanger.ac.uk/resources/software/gff/spec.html} and its own Jalview
+Features file format for the import of sequence annotation. Features and
+alignment annotation are also extracted from other formats such as Stockholm,
+and AMSA. URL links may also be attached to features. See the online
+documentation for more details of the additional capabilities of the Jalview
+features file.
+
+\exercise{Creating Features}{
+\exstep{Open the alignment at \textsf{http://www.jalview.org/tutorial/alignment.fa}.
+We know that the Cysteine residues at columns 97, 102, 105 and 135 are involved in
+iron binding so we will create them as features. Navigate to column 97, sequence 1.
+Select the entire column by clicking in the ruler bar. Then right-click on the selection
+to bring up the context menu and select {\sl Selection $\Rightarrow$ Create Sequence Feature}.
+A dialogue box will appear.
+}
+\exstep{
+Enter a suitable Sequence Feature Name (e.g. ``Iron binding site") in the
+appropriate box. Click on the Feature Colour bar to change the colour if
+desired, add a short description (``One of four Iron binding Cysteines") and press OK. The features will then appear on the sequences. } \exstep{Roll the mouse cursor over the new features. Note that the position given in the tool tip is the residue number, not the column number. To demonstrate that there is one feature per sequence, clear all selections by pressing [ESC] then insert a gap in sequence 3 at column 95. Roll the mouse over the features and you will see that the feature has moved with the sequence. Delete the gap you created.
+}
+\exstep{
+Add a similar feature to column 102. When the feature dialogue box appears, clicking the Sequence Feature Name box brings up a list of previously described features. Using the same Sequence Feature Name allows the features to be grouped.}
+\exstep{Select {\sl View $\Rightarrow$ Feature Settings\ldots} from the
+alignment window menu. The Sequence Feature Settings window will appear. Move
+this so that you can see the features you have just created. Click the check
+box for ``Iron binding site" under {\sl Display} and note that display of this
+feature type is now turned off. Click it again and note that the features are
+now displayed. Close the sequence feature settings box by clicking OK or
+Cancel.} }

+\chapter{Multiple Sequence Alignment}
+\label{msaservices}
+Sequences can be aligned using a range of algorithms provided by JABA web
+services. These include ClustalW\footnote{{\sl ``CLUSTAL W: improving the
+sensitivity of progressive multiple sequence alignment through sequence
+weighting, position specific gap penalties and weight matrix choice."} Thompson
+JD, Higgins DG, Gibson TJ (1994) {\sl Nucleic Acids Research} {\bf 22},
+4673-80}, Muscle\footnote{{\sl ``MUSCLE: a multiple sequence alignment method
+with reduced time and space complexity"} Edgar, R.C.
+(2004) {\sl BMC Bioinformatics} {\bf 5}, 113}, MAFFT\footnote{{\sl ``MAFFT: a
+novel method for rapid multiple sequence alignment based on fast Fourier
+transform"} Katoh, K., Misawa, K., Kuma, K. and Miyata, T. (2002) {\sl Nucleic
+Acids Research} {\bf 30}, 3059-3066. and {\sl ``MAFFT version 5:
+improvement in accuracy of multiple sequence alignment"} Katoh, K., Kuma, K.,
+Toh, H. and Miyata, T. (2005) {\sl Nucleic Acids Research} {\bf 33}, 511-518.},
+ProbCons,\footnote{PROBCONS: Probabilistic Consistency-based Multiple Sequence
+Alignment.
+Do, C.B., Mahabhashyam, M.S.P., Brudno, M., and Batzoglou, S.
+(2005) {\sl Genome Research} {\bf 15} 330-340.} T-COFFEE\footnote{T-Coffee:
+A novel method for multiple sequence alignments. (2000) Notredame, Higgins and
+Heringa {\sl JMB} {\bf 302} 205-217} and Clustal Omega.\footnote{Fast, scalable

+Systems Biology} {\bf 7} 539
+\href{http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/msb.2011.75}{doi:10.1038/msb.2011.75}} Of these,
+T-COFFEE is the slowest, but also the most accurate. ClustalW is historically
+the most widely used. Muscle is faster than ClustalW and probably the most
+accurate for smaller alignments and MAFFT is probably the best for large
+alignments, however {\bf Clustal Omega}, which was released in 2011, is
+arguably the fastest and most accurate tool for protein multiple alignment.
+
+
+To run an alignment web service, select the appropriate method from the {\sl
+Web Service $\Rightarrow$ Alignment $\Rightarrow$ \ldots} submenu (Figure
+\ref{webservices}). For each service you may either perform an alignment with
+default settings, use one of the available presets, or customise the parameters
+with the `{\sl Edit and Run ..}' dialog box. Once the job is submitted, a
+progress window will appear giving information about the job and any errors that
+occur. After successful completion of the job, a new alignment window is opened
+with the results, in this case an alignment. By default, the new alignment will be
+ordered in the same way as the input sequences. Note: many alignment
+programs re-order the input to place homologous sequences close together, the
+original ordering can be recovered using the `Original ordering' entry within
+the {\sl Calculate $\Rightarrow$ Sort } sub menu.

+\label{webservices}
+\end{center}
+\end{figure}
+
+\subsubsection{Realignment}
+
+The re-alignment option is currently only supported by ClustalW and Clustal
+Omega. When performing a re-alignment, Jalview submits the current selection to
+the alignment service complete with any existing gaps. This approach is useful
+when one wishes to align additional sequences to an existing alignment without
+any further optimisation to the existing alignment. The re-alignment service
+provided by ClustalW in this case is effectively a simple form of profile
+alignment.
+
+\subsubsection{Alignments of Sequences that include Hidden Regions}
+
+If the view or selected region that is submitted for alignment contains hidden
+regions, then {\bf only the visible sequences will be submitted to the service}.
+Furthermore, each contiguous segment of sequences will be aligned independently
+(resulting in a number of alignment `subjobs' appearing in the status window).
+Finally, the results of each subjob will be concatenated with the hidden regions
+in the input data prior to their display in a new window. This approach ensures
+that 1) hidden column boundaries in the input data are preserved in the
+resulting alignment - in a similar fashion to the constraint that hidden columns
+place on alignment editing (see Section \ref{lockededits} and 2) hidden
+columns can be used to preserve existing parts of an alignment whilst the
+visible parts are locally refined.
+

+\exstep{Use [CTRL]-Z to recover the alignment of the last three sequences in the MAFFT alignment.
+Once the Clustal re-alignment has completed, compare the results of re-alignment of the
+three sequences with their alignment in the original MAFFT result.}
+\exstep{Select columns 60 to 125 in the original MAFFT alignment and hide them.
+Select {\sl Web Services $\Rightarrow$ Alignment $\Rightarrow$ Mafft with Defaults} to

+note that there are now two alignment job status panes shown in the window.}
+\exstep{When the MAFFT job has finished, compare the alignment of the N-terminal visible
+region in the result with the corresponding region of the original alignment. If you wish,
+select and hide a few more columns in the N-terminal region, and submit the alignment to the
+service again and explore the effect of local alignment on the non-homologous parts of the
+N-terminal region.}
+}
+
+
+\subsection{Customising the Parameters used for Alignment}
+
+JABA web services allow you to vary the parameters used when performing a
+bioinformatics analysis. For JABA alignment services, this means you are
+usually able to modify the following types of parameters:
+\begin{list}{$\bullet$}{}
+\item Amino acid or nucleotide substitution score matrix
+\item Gap opening and widening penalties
+\item Types of distance metric used to construct guide trees
+\item Number of rounds of re-alignment or alignment optimisation
+\end{list}
+
+
+\subsubsection{Getting Help on the Parameters for a Service}
+Each parameter available for a method usually has a short description, which
+Jalview will display as a tooltip, or as a text pane that can be opened under
+the parameter's controls. In the parameter shown in Figure
+\ref{clustalwparamdetail}, the description was opened by selecting the button on the left hand side. Online help for the
+service can also be accessed, by right clicking the button and selecting a URL
+from the pop-up menu that will open.
+
+\begin{figure}[htbp]
+\begin{center}
+\includegraphics[width=2.5in]{images/clustalwparamdetail.pdf}
+\caption{{\bf ClustalW parameter slider detail}. From the ClustalW {\sl Clustal $\Rightarrow$ Edit settings and run ...} dialog box. }
+\label{clustalwparamdetail}
+\end{center}
+\end{figure}
+
+\subsection{Alignment Presets}
+The different multiple alignment algorithms available from JABA vary greatly in
+the number of adjustable parameters, and it is often difficult to identify what
+are the best values for the sequences that you are trying to align. For these
+reasons, each JABA service may provide one or more presets -- which are
+pre-defined sets of parameters suited for particular types of alignment
+problem. For instance, the Muscle service provides the following presets:
+\begin{list}{$\bullet$}{}
+\item Large alignments (balanced)
+\item Protein alignments (fastest speed)
+\item Nucleotide alignments (fastest speed)
+\end{list}
+
+The presets are displayed in the JABA web services submenu, and can also be
+accessed from the parameter editing dialog box, which is opened by selecting
+the `{\sl Edit settings and run ...}' option from the web services menu. If you have used
+a preset, then it will be mentioned at the beginning of the job status file shown
+in the web service job progress window.
+
+\subsubsection{Alignment Service Limits}
+Multiple alignment is a computationally intensive calculation. Some JABA server
+services and service presets only allow a certain number of sequences to be
+aligned. The precise number will depend on the server that you are using to
+perform the alignment. Should you try to submit more sequences than a service
+can handle, then an error message will be shown informing you of the maximum
+number allowed by the server.
+
+\subsection{User Defined Presets}
+Jalview allows you to create your own presets for a particular service. To do
+this, select the `{\sl Edit settings and run ...}' option for your service,
+which will open a parameter editing dialog box like the one shown in Figure
+\ref{jwsparamsdialog}.
+
+The top row of this dialog allows you to browse the existing presets, and
+when editing a parameter set, allows you to change its nickname. As you
+adjust settings, buttons will appear at the top of the parameters dialog that
+allow you to Revert or Update the currently selected user preset with your changes, Delete the current preset, or Create a new preset, if none exists with the given name. In addition to the parameter set name, you can also provide a short
+description for the parameter set, which will be shown in the tooltip for the
+parameter set's entry in the web services menu.
+

+\label{jwsparamsdialog} }
+\end{figure}
+
+\subsubsection{Saving Parameter Sets}
+When creating a custom parameter set, you will be asked for a file name to save
+it. The location of the file is recorded in the Jalview user preferences in the
+same way as a custom alignment colourscheme, so when Jalview is launched again,
+it will show your custom preset amongst the options available for running the
+JABA service.

+\section{Protein Alignment Conservation Analysis}
+\label{aacons}
+The {\sl Web Service $\Rightarrow$ Conservation} menu controls the computation
+of up to 17 different amino acid conservation measures for the current alignment
+view. The JABAWS AACon Alignment Conservation Calculation Service, which is used
+to calculate these scores, provides a variety of standard measures described by
+Valdar in 2002\footnote{Scoring residue conservation. Valdar (2002) {\sl
+Proteins: Structure, Function, and Genetics} {\bf 43} 227-241.} as well as an efficient implementation of the SMERFs
+score developed by Manning et al. in 2008.\footnote{SMERFS Score Manning et al. {\sl BMC
+Bioinformatics} 2008, {\bf 9} 51 \href{http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/1471-2105-9-51}{doi:10.1186/1471-2105-9-51}}
+
+\subsubsection{Enabling and Disabling AACon Calculations}
+When the AACon Calculation entry in the {\sl Web Services $\Rightarrow$
+Conservation} menu is ticked, AACon calculations will be performed every time
+the alignment is modified. Selecting the menu item will enable or disable
+automatic recalculation.
+
+\subsubsection{Configuring which AACon Calculations are Performed}
+The {\sl Web Services $\Rightarrow$ Conservation $\Rightarrow$ Change AACon
+Settings ...} menu entry will open a web services parameter dialog for the
+currently configured AACon server. Standard presets are provided for quick and
+more expensive conservation calculations, and parameters are also provided to
+change the way that SMERFS calculations are performed.
+AACon settings for an alignment are saved in Jalview projects along with the
+latest calculation results.
+
+\subsubsection{Changing the Server used for AACon Calculations}
+If you are working with alignments too large to analyse with the public JABAWS
+server, then you will most likely have already configured additional JABAWS
+servers. By default, Jalview will chose the first AACon service available from
+the list of JABAWS servers available. If available, you can switch to use
+another AACon service by selecting it from the {\sl Web Services $\Rightarrow$
+Conservation $\Rightarrow$ Switch Server} submenu.
+
+
+\chapter{Analysis of Alignments}
+\label{alignanalysis}
+Jalview provides support for sequence analysis in two ways. A number of
+analytical methods are `built-in', these are accessed from the {\sl Calculate}
+alignment window menu. Computationally intensive analyses are run outside
+Jalview {\sl via} web services - these are typically accessed {\sl via} the {\sl
+Web Service} menu, and described in chapter \ref{jvwebservices}.
+In this section, we describe the built-in analysis capabilities common to both
+the Jalview Desktop and the JalviewLite applet.
+
+\section{PCA}
+This calculation creates a spatial representation of the similarities within the
+current selection or the whole alignment if no selection has been made. After
+the calculation finishes, a 3D viewer displays the each sequence as a point in
+3D `similarity space'. Sets of similar sequences tend to lie near each other in
+this space.
+Note: The calculation is computationally expensive, and may fail for very large
+sets of sequences - because the JVM has run out of memory. Memory issues, and
+how to overcome them, were discussed in Section \ref{memorylimits}.
+
+\subsubsection{What is PCA?}
+Principal components analysis is a technique for examining the structure of
+complex data sets. The components are a set of dimensions formed from the
+measured values in the data set, and the principle component is the one with the
+greatest magnitude, or length. The sets of measurements that differ the most
+should lie at either end of this principle axis, and the other axes correspond
+to less extreme patterns of variation in the data set.
+In this case, the components are generated by an eigenvector decomposition of
+the matrix formed from the sum of pairwise substitution scores at each aligned
+position between each pair of sequences. The basic method is described in the
+1995 paper by {\sl G. Casari, C. Sander} and {\sl A. Valencia} \footnote{{\sl
+Nature Structural Biology} (1995) {\bf 2}, 171-8.
+PMID: 7749921} and implemented at the SeqSpace server at the EBI.
+
+Jalview provides two different options for the PCA calculation. Protein PCAs are
+by default computed using BLOSUM 62 pairwise substitution scores, and nucleic
+acid alignment PCAs are computed using a score model based on the identity
+matrix that also treats Us and Ts as identical, to support analysis of both RNA
+and DNA alignments. The {\sl Change Parameters} menu also allows the calculation
+method to be toggled between SeqSpace and a variant calculation that is detailed
+in Jalview's built in documentation.\footnote{See
+\url{http://www.jalview.org/help/html/calculations/pca.html}.}
+
+\subsubsection{The PCA Viewer}
+
+PCA analysis can be launched from the {\sl Calculate $\Rightarrow$ Principle
+Component Analysis} menu option. {\bf PCA requires a selection containing at
+least 4 sequences}. A window opens containing the PCA tool (Figure \ref{PCA}).
+Each sequence is represented by a small square, coloured by the background
+colour of the sequence ID label. The axes can be rotated by clicking and
+dragging the left mouse button and zoomed using the $\uparrow$ and $\downarrow$
+keys or the scroll wheel of the mouse (if available). A tool tip appears if the
+cursor is placed over a sequence. Sequences can be selected by clicking on them.
+[CTRL]-Click can be used to select multiple sequences.

+
+Labels will be shown for each sequence by toggling the {\sl View $\Rightarrow$
+Show Labels} menu option, and the plot background colour changed {\sl via} the
+{\sl View $\Rightarrow$ Background Colour..} dialog box. A graphical
+representation of the PCA plot can be exported as an EPS or PNG image {\sl via}
+the {\sl File $\Rightarrow$ Save As $\Rightarrow$ \ldots } submenu.

+\exstep{ Click on the tree window. Careful selection of the tree partition
+location will divide the alignment into a number of groups, each of a different
+colour. Note how the colour of the sequence ID label matches both the colour of
+the partitioned tree and the points in the PCA plot.
+} }
+
+\subsubsection{PCA Data Export}
+Although the PCA viewer supports export of the current view, the plots produced
+are rarely suitable for direct publication. The PCA viewer's {\sl File} menu
+includes a number of options for exporting the PCA matrix and transformed points
+as comma separated value (CSV) files. These files can be imported by tools such
+as {\bf R} or {\bf gnuplot} in order to graph the data.
+
+\section{Trees}
+\label{trees}
+Jalview can calculate and display trees, providing interactive tree-based
+grouping of sequences though a tree viewer. All trees are calculated {\sl via}
+the {\sl Calculate $\Rightarrow$ Calculate Tree $\Rightarrow$ \ldots} submenu.
+Trees can be calculated from distance matrices determined from \% identity or
+aggregate BLOSUM 62 score using either {\sl Average Distance} (UPGMA) or {\sl
+Neighbour Joining} algorithms. The input data for a tree is either the selected
+region or the whole alignment, excluding any hidden regions.
+
+On calculating a tree, a new window opens (Figure \ref{trees1}) which contains
+the tree. Various display settings can be found in the tree window {\sl View}
+menu, including font, scaling and label display options, and the {\sl File
+$\Rightarrow$ Save As} submenu contains options for image and Newick file
+export. Newick format is a standard file format for trees which allows them to
+be exported to other programs. Jalview can also read in external trees in
+Newick format {\sl via} the {\sl File $\Rightarrow$ Load Associated Tree} menu
+option. Leaf names on imported trees will be matched to the associated alignment
+- unmatched leaves will still be displayed, and can be highlighted using the
+{\sl View $\Rightarrow$ Mark Unlinked Leaves} menu option.
+
+

+\end{center}
+\end{figure}
+
+
+Clicking on the tree brings up a cursor across the height of the tree. The
+sequences are automatically partitioned and coloured (Figure \ref{trees2}). To
+group them together, select the {\sl Calculate $\Rightarrow$ Sort $\Rightarrow$
+By Tree Order $\Rightarrow$ \ldots} alignment window menu option and choose the
+correct tree. The sequences will then be sorted according to the leaf order
+currently shown in the tree view. The coloured background to the sequence IDs
+can be removed with {\sl Select $\Rightarrow$ Undefine Groups} from the
+alignment window menu. Note that tree partitioning will also remove any groups
+and colourschemes on a view, so create a new view ([CTRL-T]) if you wish to
+preserve these.

+\subsection{Tree Based Conservation Analysis}
+\label{treeconsanaly}
+
+Trees reflect the pattern of global sequence similarity exhibited by the
+alignment, or region within the alignment, that was used for their calculation.
+The Jalview tree viewer enables sequences to be partitioned into groups based
+on the tree. This is done by clicking within the tree viewer window. Once subdivided, the
+conservation between and within groups can be visually compared in order to

+\subsection{Redundancy Removal}
+
+The redundancy removal dialog box is opened using the {\sl Edit $\Rightarrow$ Remove Redundancy\ldots} option in the alignment menu. As its menu option placement suggests, this is actually an alignment editing function, but it is convenient to describe it here. The redundancy removal dialog box presents a percentage identity slider which sets the redundancy threshold. Aligned sequences which exhibit a percentage identity greater than the current threshold are highlighted in black. The [Remove] button can then be used to delete these sequences from the alignment as an edit operation\footnote{Which can usually be undone. A future version of Jalview may allow redundant sequences to be hidden, or represented by a chosen sequence, rather than deleted.}.

+
+\subsection{Subdividing the Alignment According to Specific Mutations}
+
+It is often necessary to explore variations in an alignment that may correlate
+with mutations observed in a particular region; for example, sites exhibiting
+single nucleotide polymorphism, or residues involved in substrate recognition in
+an enzyme. One way to do this would be to calculate a tree using the specific
+region, and subdivide it in order to partition the alignment.
+However, calculating a tree can be slow for large alignments, and the tree may
+be difficult to partition when complex mutation patterns are being analysed. The
+{\sl Select $\Rightarrow$ Make groups for selection } function was introduced to
+make this kind of analysis easier. When selected, it will use the characters in
+the currently selected region to subdivide the alignment. For example, if a
+single column is selected, then the alignment (or each group defined on the
+alignment) will be divided into groups based on the residue or nucleotide found
+at that position. These new groups are annotated with the characters in the
+selected region, and Jalview's group based conservation analysis annotation and
+colourschemes can then be used to reveal any associated pattern of sequence
+variation across the whole alignment.
+
+\subsection{Automated Annotation of Alignments and Groups}
+
+On loading a sequence alignment, Jalview will normally\footnote{Automatic
+annotation can be turned off in the {\sl Visual } tab in the {\sl Tools
+$\Rightarrow$ Preferences } dialog box.} calculate a set of automatic annotation
+rows which are shown below the alignment. For nucleotide sequence alignments,
+only an alignment consensus row will be shown, but for amino acid sequences,
+alignment quality (based on BLOSUM 62) and physicochemical conservation will
+also be shown. Conservation is calculated according to Livingstone and
+Barton\footnote{{\sl ``Protein Sequence Alignments: A Strategy for the
+Hierarchical Analysis of Residue Conservation." } Livingstone C.D. and Barton
+G.J. (1993) {\sl CABIOS } {\bf 9}, 745-756}.
+Consensus is the modal residue (or {\tt +} where there is an equal top residue).
+The inclusion of gaps in the consensus calculation can be toggled by
+right-clicking on the the Consensus label and selecting {\sl Ignore Gaps in
+Consensus} from the pop-up context menu located with consensus annotation row.
+Quality is a measure of the inverse likelihood of unfavourable mutations in the alignment. Further details on these
+calculations can be found in the on-line documentation.
+
+% These annotations can be hidden and deleted via the context menu linked to the
+% annotation row; but they are only created on loading an alignment. If they are
+% deleted then the alignment should be saved and then reloaded to restore them.
+% Jalview provides a toggle to autocalculate a consensus sequence upon editing.
+% This is normally selected by default, but can be turned off for large alignments {\sl via} the {\sl Calculate $\Rightarrow$ Autocalculate
+% Consensus} menu option if the interface is too slow.
+
+% \subsubsection{Group Associated Annotation}
+% \label{groupassocannotation}
+% Group associated consensus and conservation annotation rows reflect the
+% sequence variation within a particular group. Their calculation is enabled
+% by selecting the {\sl Group Conservation} or {\sl Group Consensus} options in
+% the {\sl Annotation $\Rightarrow$ Autocalculated Annotation } submenu of the
+% alignment window.
+
+% \subsubsection{Alignment and Group Sequence Logos}
+% \label{seqlogos}
+
+% The consensus annotation row that is shown below the alignment can be overlaid
+% with a sequence logo that reflects the symbol distribution at each column of
+% the alignment. Right click on the Consensus annotation row and select the {\sl
+% Show Logo} option to display the Consensus profile for the group or alignment.
+% Sequence logos can be enabled by default for all new alignments {\sl via} the
+% Visual tab in the Jalview desktop's preferences dialog box.
+

+
+\section{Working with Structures}
+\label{wkwithstructure}
+Jalview facilitates the use of protein structures for the analysis of alignments
+by providing a linked view of structures associated with sequences in
+the alignment. The Java based molecular viewing program Jmol\footnote{See the
+Jmol homepage \url{http://www.jmol.org} for more information.} has been
+incorporated\footnote{Earlier versions of Jalview included MCView - a simple
+main chain structure viewer. Structures are visualized as an alpha carbon trace
+and can be viewed, rotated and coloured in a structure viewer and the results
+interpreted on a sequence alignment.} which enables sophisticated molecular
+visualizations to be prepared and investigated alongside an analysis of
+associated sequences.
+PDB format files can be imported directly or structures can be retrieved from
+the European Protein Databank (PDBe) using the Sequence Fetcher (see
+\ref{fetchseq}).
+
+\subsection{Automatic Association of PDB Structures with Sequences}
+Jalview can automatically determine which structures are associated with a
+sequence in a number of ways.
+\subsubsection{Discovery of PDB IDs from Sequence Database Cross-references}
+If a sequence has an ID from a public database that contains cross-references to
+the PDB, such as Uniprot. Right-click on any sequence ID and select {\sl Structure $\Rightarrow$
+Associate Structure with Sequence $\Rightarrow$ Discover PDB IDs } from the context menu (Figure \ref{auto}). Jalview will attempt to associate the
+sequence with a Uniprot sequence and from there discover any associated PDB
+structures. This takes a few seconds and applies to all sequences in the
+alignment which have valid Uniprot IDs. On moving the cursor over the sequence
+ID the tool tip\footnote{Tip: The sequence ID tooltip can often become large for
+heavily cross referenced sequence IDs. Use the {\sl View $\Rightarrow$ Sequence
+ID Tooltip $\Rightarrow$ } submenu to disable the display of database cross
+references or non-positional features. } now shows the Uniprot ID and any
+associated PDB structures.
+

+After PDB ID discovery (center) the tool tip now indicates the Uniprot ID and
+any associated PDB structures (right).}
+\label{auto}
+\end{center}
+\end{figure}
+
+\subsubsection{Drag-and-Drop Association of PDB Files with Sequences by Filename
+Match}
+\label{multipdbfileassoc}
+If one or more PDB files stored on your computer are dragged from their location
+on the file browser onto an alignment window, Jalview will search the alignment
+for sequences with IDs that match any of the files dropped onto the alignment.
+If it discovers matches, a dialog like the one in Figure
+\ref{multipdbfileassocfig} is shown, giving the option of creating associations
+for the matches.
+
+If no associations are made, then sequences extracted
+from the structure will be simply added to the alignment. However, if only
+some of the PDB files are associated, Jalview will raise another dialog box
+giving you the option to add any remaining sequences from the PDB structure files not present in
+the alignment. This allows you to easily decorate sequences in a newly imported
+alignment with any corresponding structures you've already collected in a directory
+accessible from your computer.\footnote{We plan to extend this facility in
+future so Jalview will automatically search for PDB files matching your
+sequence within a local directory. Check out
+\href{http://issues.jalview.org/browse/JAL-801}{Jalview issue 801}}
+
+% there is no mention of the other footnote (#3) that appears saying: Tip: The sequence ID tooltip can often become large for heavily cross-referenced sequence IDs. Use the ...
+% JBP: yes there is - under 'Discovery of ' subsection.

+\label{multipdbfileassocfig}
+\end{center}
+\end{figure}
+
+
+\subsection{Viewing Structures}
+\label{viewAllStructures}
+The structure viewer can be launched in two ways from the sequence ID context
+menu. To view a particular structure associated with a sequence in the
+alignment, simply select it from popup menu's associated structures submenu in
+{\sl Structure $\Rightarrow$ View Structure $\Rightarrow$ $<$PDB ID$>$}. The
+second way is most useful if you want to view all structural data available for
+a set of sequences in an alignment. If any of the {\bf currently selected}
+sequences have structures associated, the {\sl Structure } submenu of the
+sequence ID popup menu will include an option to {\sl View {\bf N}
+structures}. Selecting this option will open a new structure view containing
+the associated structures superposed according to the alignment.
+
+In both cases, each structure to be displayed will be downloaded or loaded from
+the local file system, and shown as a ribbon diagram coloured according to the
+associated sequence in the current alignment view (Figure \ref{structure}
+(right)). The structure can be rotated by clicking and dragging in the structure
+window. The structure can be zoomed using the mouse scroll wheel or by
+[SHIFT]-dragging the structure.
+Moving the mouse cursor over a sequence to which the structure is linked in the
+alignment view highlights the respective residue's sidechain atoms. The
+sidechain highlight may be obscured by other parts of the molecule. Similarly,
+moving the cursor over the structure shows a tooltip and highlights the
+corresponding residue in the alignment. Clicking the alpha carbon or phosphorous
+backbone atom will toggle the highlight and residue label on and off. Often, the
+position highlighted in the sequence may not be in the visible portion of the
+current alignment view and the sliders will scroll automatically to show the
+position. If the alignment window's {\sl View $\Rightarrow$ Automatic Scrolling
+} option is not selected, however, then the automatic adjustment will be
+disabled for the current view.
+

+\label{structure}
+\end{center}
+\end{figure}
+
+\subsection{Customising Structure Display}
+
+Structure display can be modified using the {\sl Colour} and {\sl View} menus
+in the structure viewer. The background colour can be modified by selecting the
+{\sl Colours $\Rightarrow$ Background Colour\ldots} option.
+
+By default, the structure will be coloured in the same way as the associated
+sequence(s) in the alignment view from which it was launched. The structure can
+be coloured independently of the sequence by selecting an appropriate colour
+scheme from the {\sl Colours} menu. It can be coloured according to the
+alignment using the {\sl Colours $\Rightarrow$ By Sequence } option. The image
+in the structure viewer can be saved as an EPS or PNG with the {\sl File
+$\Rightarrow$ Save As $\Rightarrow$ \ldots} submenu, which also allows the raw
+data to be saved as PDB format. The mapping between the structure and the
+sequence (How well and which parts of the structure relate to the sequence) can
+be viewed with the {\sl File $\Rightarrow$ View Mapping} menu option.
+
+\subsubsection{Using the Jmol Visualization Interface }
+
+Jmol has a comprehensive set of selection and visualization functions that are
+accessed from the Jmol popup menu (by right-clicking in the Jmol window or by
+clicking the Jmol logo). Molecule colour and rendering style can be manipulated,
+and distance measurements and molecular surfaces can be added to the view. It
+also has its own ``Rasmol\footnote{See \url{http://www.rasmol.org}}-like'' scripting
+language, which is described elsewhere\footnote{Jmol Wiki:
+\url{http://wiki.jmol.org/index.php/Scripting}
+
+Jmol Scripting reference:
+\url{http://www.stolaf.edu/academics/chemapps/jmol/docs/}}. Jalview utilises the
+scripting language to interact with Jmol and to store the state of a Jmol
+visualization within Jalview archives, in addition to the PDB data file
+originally loaded or retrieved by Jalview. To access the Jmol scripting
+environment directly, use the {\sl Jmol $\Rightarrow$ Console} menu option.
+
+If you would prefer to use Jmol to manage structure colours, then select the
+{\sl Colours $\Rightarrow$ Colour with Jmol} option. This will disable any
+automatic application of colour schemes when new structure data is added, or
+when associated alignment views are modified.

+
+\subsection{Superimposing Structures}
+\label{superposestructs}
+Many comparative biomolecular analysis investigations aim to determine if the
+biochemical properties of a given molecule are significantly different to its
+homologues. When structure data is available, comparing the shapes of molecules
+by superimposing them enables substructure that may impart different behaviour
+to be quickly identified. The identification of optimal 3D superpositions
+involves aligning 3D data rather than sequence symbols, but the result can
+still be represented as a sequence alignment, where columns indicate positions
+in each molecule that should be superposed to recreate the optimal 3D alignment.
+
+Jalview can employ Jmol's 3D fitting routines\footnote{See
+\href{http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/docs/?ver=12.2$\#$compare}{http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/docs/?ver=12.2$\#$compare}
+for more information.} to recreate 3D structure superpositions based on the
+correspondences defined by one or more sequence alignments involving structures shown in the Jmol display. Superposition based on the currently displayed alignment view happens automatically if a
+structure is added to an existing Jmol display using the {\sl Structure
+$\Rightarrow$ View PDB Structure $\Rightarrow$ ..}. A new Jmol view containing
+superposed structures can also be created using the {\sl Structure
+$\Rightarrow$ View all {\bf N} PDB Structures} option (when {\bf {\sl N}}
+$>$ 1) if the current selection contains two or more sequences with associated
+structures.
+
+\subsubsection{Obtaining the RMSD for a Superposition}
+The RMSD (Root Mean Square Deviation) is a measure of how similar the structures
+are when they are superimposed. Figure \ref{mstrucsuperposition} shows a
+superposition created during the course of Exercise \ref{superpositionex}. The
+parts of each molecule used to construct the superposition are rendered using
+the cartoon style, with other parts of the molecule drawn in wireframe. The Jmol
+console, which has been opened after the superposition was performed, shows the
+RMSD report for the superposition.
+Full information about the superposition is also outputed to the Jalview
+console.\footnote{The Jalview Java Console is opened from {\sl Tools
+$\Rightarrow$ Java Console} option in the Desktop's menu bar} This output also
+includes the precise atom pairs used to superpose structures.
+
+\subsubsection{Choosing which part of the Alignment is used for Structural
+Superposition} Jalview uses the visible part of each alignment view to define
+which parts of each molecule are to be superimposed. Hiding a column in a view
+used for superposition will remove that correspondence from the set, and will
+exclude it from the superposition and RMSD calculation.
+This allows the selection of specific parts of the alignment to be used for
+superposition. Only columns that define a complete set of correspondences for
+all structures will be used for structural superposition, and as a consequence,
+the RMSD values generated for each pair of structures superimposed can be
+directly compared.
+
+In order to recompute a superposition after changing a view or editing the
+alignment, select the {\sl Jmol $\Rightarrow$ Align sequences } menu option. The {\sl
+Jmol $\Rightarrow$ Superpose with ..} submenu allows you to choose which of the
+associated alignments and views are to be used to create the set of
+correspondences. This menu is useful when composing complex superpositions
+involving multi-domain and multi-chain complexes, when correspondences may be
+defined by more than one alignment.
+
+Note that these menu options appear when you have two or more structures in one Jmol viewer.
+
+

+
+\subsection{Colouring Structure Data Associated with Multiple Alignments and
+Views} Normally, the original view from which a particular structure view was
+opened will be the one used to colour structure data. If alignments involving
+sequences associated with structure data shown in a Jmol have multiple views, Jalview gives you full control
+over which alignment, or alignment view, is used to colour the structure
+display. Sequence-structure colouring associations are
+changed {\sl via} the {\sl View $\Rightarrow$ Colour by ..} menu, which lists all
+views associated with data shown in the embedded Jmol view. A tick is shown beside
+views currently used as colouring source, and moving the
+mouse over each view will bring it to the front of the alignment display,
+allowing you to browse available colour sources prior to selecting one. If the
+{\sl Select many views} option is selected, then multiple views can be selected as sources for colouring the
+structure data. {\sl Invert selection} and {\sl Select all views} options are also provided to quickly change between multi-view selections.
+
+Note that the {\sl Select many views} option is useful if you have different
+views that colour different areas or domains of the alignment. This option is
+further explored in Section \ref{complexstructurecolours}.

+The ability to control which multiple alignment view is used to colour

+
+In these situations, each chain identified in the structure may have a different
+evolutionary history, and a complete picture of functional variation can
+only be gained by integrating data from different alignments on the same
+structure view. An example of this is shown in Figure
+\ref{mviewalcomplex}, based on data from Song et. al.\footnote{Structure of

+\section{Protein Secondary Structure Prediction}
+\label{protsspredservices}
+Protein secondary structure prediction is performed using the
+Jpred\footnote{{\sl ``The Jpred 3 Secondary Structure Prediction Server''} Cole, C., Barber, J. D. and Barton, G. J. (2008) {\sl Nucleic Acids Research} {\bf 36}, (Web Server Issue) W197-W201

+{\sl ``Jpred: A Consensus Secondary Structure Prediction Server''} Cuff, J. A.,
+Clamp, M. E., Siddiqui, A. S., Finlay, M. and Barton, G. J. (1998) {\sl
+Bioinformatics} {\bf 14}, 892-893} server at the University of
+Dundee\footnote{http://www.compbio.dundee.ac.uk/www-jpred/}. The behaviour of
+this calculation depends on the current selection:
+\begin{list}{$\circ$}{}
+\item If nothing is selected, Jalview will check the length of each alignment row to determine if the visible sequences in the view are aligned.
+\begin{list}{-}{}
+ \item If all rows are the same length (often due to the
+ application of the {\sl Edit $\Rightarrow$ Pad Gaps} option), then
+ a JPred prediction will be run for the first sequence in the
+ alignment, using the current alignment as the profile to use for prediction.
+ \item Otherwise, just the first sequence will be submitted for a
+ full JPred prediction.
+\end{list}
+\item If just one sequence (or a region in one sequence) has been selected, it
+will be submitted to the automatic JPred prediction server for homolog detection
+and prediction.
+\item If a set of sequences are selected, and they appear to be aligned using
+the same criteria as above, then the alignment will be used for a JPred
+prediction on the first sequence in the set (that is, the one that appears first in the alignment window).
+\end{list}
+Jpred is launched in the same way as the other web services. Select {\sl Web
+Services $\Rightarrow$ Secondary Structure Prediction $\Rightarrow$ JNet
+Secondary Structure Prediction}\footnote{JNet is the Neural Network based
+secondary structure prediction method that the JPred server uses.} from the
+alignment window menu (Figure \ref{jpred}).
+A status window opens to inform you of the progress of the job. Upon completion, a new alignment window opens and the Jpred
+predictions are included as annotations. Consult the Jpred documentation for
+information on interpreting these results.

+\end{figure}
+
+\subsubsection{Hidden Columns and JNet Predictions}
+\label{hcoljnet}
+Hidden columns can be used to exclude parts of a sequence or profile from the
+input sent to the JNet service. For instance, if a sequence is known to include
+a large loop insertion, hiding that section prior to submitting the JNet
+prediction can produce different results. In some cases, these secondary structure predictions can be more reliable for sequence on either side of the insertion\footnote{This, of course, cannot be guaranteed.}. Prediction results returned from the service will
+be mapped back onto the visible parts of the sequence, to ensure a single frame
+of reference is maintained in your analysis.
+
+\section{Protein Disorder Prediction}
+\label{protdisorderpred}
+
+Disordered regions in proteins were classically thought to correspond to
+``linkers'' between distinct protein domains, but disorder can also play a role in
+function. The {\sl Web Services $\Rightarrow$ Disorder} menu in the alignment window
+allows access to protein disorder prediction services provided by the configured
+JABAWS servers.
+
+\subsection{Disorder Prediction Results}
+Each service operates on sequences in the alignment to identify regions likely
+to be unstructured or flexible, or alternately, fold to form globular domains.
+As a consequence, disorder predictor results include both sequence features and
+sequence associated alignment annotation rows. Section \ref{featannot} describes
+the manipulation and display of these data in detail, and Figure
+\ref{alignmentdisorder} demonstrates how sequence feature shading and
+thresholding (described in Section \ref{featureschemes}) can be used to
+highlight differences in disorder prediction across aligned sequences.

A status window will appear and after some time (about 2-4 min) a new window with the JPred prediction will appear.

+\subsection{Disorder Predictors provided by JABAWS 2.0}
+For full details of each predictor and the results that Jalview can display,
+please consult
+\href{http://www.jalview.org/help/html/webServices/proteinDisorder.html}{Jalview's
+protein disorder service documentation}. Short descriptions of the methods provided in JABAWS 2.0 are given below:
+
+\subsubsection{DisEMBL}
+\href{http://dis.embl.de/}{DisEMBL (Linding et al., 2003)} is a set of machine-learning based predictors trained to
+recognise disorder-related annotation found on PDB structures.
+
+\textbf{COILS} Predicts
+loops/coils according to DSSP
+definitions\footnote{DSSP Classifications of secondary structure are: $\alpha$-helix (H), 310-helix (G), $\beta$-strand (E)
+are ordered, and all other states ($\beta$-bridge (B), $\beta$-turn (T), bend (S),
+$\pi$-helix (I), and coil (C)) considered loops or coils.}. Features mark range(s) of
+residues predicted as loops/coils, and annotation row gives raw value
+for each residue. Value over 0.516 indicates loop/coil.
+
+\textbf{HOTLOOPS} constitute a refined subset of \textbf{COILS}, namely those loops with
+a high degree of mobility as determined from C$\alpha$ temperature factors (B
+factors). It follows that highly dynamic loops should be considered
+protein disorder. Features mark range(s) of residues predicted to
+be hot loops and annotation row gives raw value for each
+residue. Values over 0.6 indicates hot loop.
+
+\textbf{REMARK465} ``Missing
+coordinates in X-ray structure as defined by remark465 entries in PDB.
+Nonassigned electron densities most often reflect intrinsic disorder,
+and have been used early on in disorder prediction.'' Features give
+range(s) of residues predicted as disordered, and annotation rows gives
+raw value for each residue. Values over 0.1204 indicates disorder.
+
+\subsubsection{RONN {\sl a.k.a.} Regional Order Neural Network}
+\href{http://www.strubi.ox.ac.uk/RONN}{RONN} employs an approach
+known as the `bio-basis' method to predict regions of disorder in
+sequences based on their local similarity with a gold-standard set of
+disordered protein sequences. It yields a set of disorder prediction
+scores, which are shown as sequence annotation below the alignment.
+
+\textbf{JRonn}\footnote{JRonn denotes the score for this server because JABAWS
+runs a Java port of RONN developed by Peter Troshin and distributed as
+part of \href{http://www.biojava.org/}{Biojava 3}} Annotation Row gives RONN score for each residue in
+the sequence. Scores above 0.5 identify regions of the protein likely
+to be disordered.
+
+\subsubsection{IUPred}
+\href{http://iupred.enzim.hu/Help.php}{IUPred} employs
+an empirical model to estimate likely regions of disorder. There are
+three different prediction types offered, each using different
+parameters optimized for slightly different applications. It provides
+raw scores based on two models for predicting regions of `long
+disorder' and `short disorder'. A third predictor identifies regions
+likely to form structured domains.
+
+\textbf{Long disorder} Annotation rows predict
+context-independent global disorder that encompasses at least 30
+consecutive residues of predicted disorder. A 100 residue
+window is used for calculation. Values above 0.5 indicates the residue is
+intrinsically disordered.
+
+\textbf{Short disorder} Annotation rows predict for short, (and
+probably) context-dependent, disordered regions, such as missing
+residues in the X-ray structure of an otherwise globular protein.
+Employs a 25 residue window for calculation, and includes adjustment
+parameter for chain termini which favors disorder prediction at the
+ends. Values above 0.5 indicate short-range disorder.
+
+\textbf{Structured domains} are marked with sequence Features. These highlight
+likely globular domains useful for structure genomics investigation. Post-analysis of disordered region profile to find continuous regions
+confidently predicted to be ordered. Neighbouring regions close to
+each other are merged, while regions shorter than the minimal domain
+size of at least 30 residues are ignored.
+
+\subsubsection{GLOBPLOT}
+\href{http://globplot.embl.de/}{GLOBPLOT} defines regions of
+globularity or natively unstructured regions based on a running sum of
+the propensity of residues to be structured or unstructured. The
+propensity is calculated based on the probability of each amino acid
+being observed within well defined regions of secondary structure or
+within regions of random coil. The initial signal is smoothed with a
+Savitzky-Golay filter, and its first order derivative
+computed. Residues for which the first order derivative is positive
+are designated as natively unstructured, whereas those with negative
+values are structured.
+
+{\bf Disordered region} sequence features are created marking mark range(s) of residues with positive first order derivatives, and
+\textbf{Globular Domain} features mark long stretches of order. \textbf{Dydx} annotation rows gives the first order derivative of smoothed score. Values above 0 indicates
+residue is disordered.
+
+\textbf{Smoothed Score and Raw Score} annotation rows give the smoothed and raw scores used to create the differential signal that
+indicates the presence of unstructured regions. These are hidden
+by default, but can be shown by right-clicking on the alignment
+annotation panel and selecting \textbf{Show hidden annotation}.

+\label{dnarna}
+\section{Working with DNA}
+\label{workingwithnuc}
+Jalview was originally developed for the analysis of protein sequences, but
+now includes some specific features for working with nucleic acid sequences
+and alignments. Jalview recognises nucleotide sequences and alignments based on
+the presence of nucleotide symbols [ACGT] in greater than 85\% of the
+sequences. Built in codon-translation tables can be used to translate ORFs
+into peptides for further analysis. EMBL nucleotide records retrieved {\sl via} the
+sequence fetcher (see Section \ref{fetchseq}) are also parsed in order to
+identify codon regions and extract peptide products. Furthermore, Jalview
+records mappings between protein sequences that are derived from regions of a
+nucleotide sequence. Mappings are used to transfer annotation between
+nucleic acid and protein sequences, and to dynamically highlight regions in
+one sequence that correspond to the position of the mouse pointer in another.
+%TODO Working with Nucleic acid sequences and structures.
+\subsection{Alignment and Colouring}
+
+Jalview provides a simple colourscheme for DNA bases, but does not apply any
+specific conservation or substitution score model for the shading of
+nucleotide alignments. However, pairwise alignments performed using the {\sl Calculate $\Rightarrow$ Pairwise Alignment
+\ldots} option will utilise an identity score matrix to calculate alignment
+score when aligning two nucleotide sequences.
+
+\subsubsection{Aligning Nucleic Acid Sequences}
+
+Jalview has limited knowledge of the capabilities of the programs that
+are made available to it {\sl via} web services, so it is up to you, the user,
+to decide which service to use when working with nucleic acid sequences. The
+table shows which alignment programs are most appropriate
+for nucleotide alignment. Generally, all will work, but some may be more suited
+to your purposes than others. We also note that none of these include
+support for taking RNA secondary structure prediction into account when aligning
+sequences (but will be providing services for this in the future!)

+\end{table}
+
+\subsection{Translate cDNA}
+
+The {\sl Calculate $\Rightarrow$ Translate cDNA} function in the alignment
+window is only available when working with a nucleic acid alignment. It uses the standard codon translation table given in the online help documentation to translate a nucleotide alignment, or the currently selected region, into a set of aligned peptide sequences. Any features or annotation present on the nucleotide alignment will also be translated, allowing DNA alignment analysis results to be transferred on to peptide products for further investigation.
+
+\subsection{Linked DNA and Protein Views}
+
+\parbox{3.5in}{
+Views of alignments involving DNA sequences are linked to views of alignments containing their peptide products in a similar way to views of protein sequences and views of their associated structures. Peptides translated from cDNA that have been fetched from EMBL records for DNA contigs are linked to their `parent' coding regions. Mousing over a region of the peptide highlights codons in views showing the original coding region.

+\end{center}
+}
+
+
+\subsection{Coding Regions from EMBL Records}
+
+Many EMBL records that can be retrieved with the sequence fetcher contain exons.
+Coding regions will be marked as features on the EMBL nucleotide sequence, and
+Uniprot database cross references will be listed in the tooltip displayed when
+the mouse hovers over the sequence ID. Uniprot database cross references
+extracted from EMBL records are sequence cross references, and associate a
+Uniprot sequence's coordinate system with the coding regions annotated on the
+EMBL sequence. Jalview utilises cross-reference information in two ways.
+\subsubsection{Retrieval of Protein or DNA Cross References}
+The {\sl Calculate $\Rightarrow$ Get Cross References } function is only available when Jalview recognises that there are protein/DNA cross-references present on sequences in the alignment. When selected, it retrieves the cross references from the alignment's dataset (a set of sequence and annotation metadata shared between alignments) or using the sequence database fetcher. This function can be used for EMBL sequences containing coding regions to open the Uniprot protein products in a new alignment window. The new alignment window that is opened to show the protein products will also allow dynamic highlighting of codon positions in the EMBL record for each residue in the protein product(s).
+
+\subsubsection{Retrieval of Protein DAS Features on Coding Regions}
+
+The Uniprot cross-references derived from EMBL records can be used by Jalview to visualize protein sequence features directly on nucleotide alignments. This is because the database cross references include the sequence coordinate mapping information to correspond regions on the protein sequence with that of the nucleotide contig. Jalview will use the Uniprot accession numbers associated with the sequence to retrieve features, and then map them onto the nucleotide sequence's coordinate system using the coding region location.

+\chapter{Webservices}
+\label{jvwebservices}
+The term ``Webservices'' refers to a variety of data exchange
+mechanisms based on HTTP.\footnote{HTTP: Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol.}
+
+\parbox[c]{4.5in}{Jalview can exploit public webservices to access databases
+remotely, and also submit data to public services by opening pages with your web browser. These types of
+services are `one-way', {\sl i.e.} data is either sent to the webservice or
+retrieved from it by Jalview. The desktop application can also interact
+with `two-way' remote analysis services in order to offload computationally
+intensive tasks to High Performance Computing facilities. Most of these two-way
+services are provided by {\bf Ja}va {\bf B}ioinformatics {\bf A}nalysis {\bf
+W}eb {\bf S}ervice (JABAWS) servers\footnote{See
+http://www.compbio.dundee.ac.uk/jabaws for more information and to download
+your own server.}, which provides an easily installable system for performing
+a range of bioinformatics analysis tasks. }
+\parbox[c]{1.75in}{\includegraphics[width=1.65in]{images/wsmenu.pdf}}
+
+\subsection{One-Way Web Services}
+
+There are two types of one way service in Jalview. Database services,
+which were introduced in in Section \ref{fetchseq}, provide sequence and
+alignment data. They can also be used to add sequence IDs to an alignment
+imported from a local file, prior to further annotation retrieval, as described
+in Section \ref{featuresfromdb}. A second type of one way service is provided
+by Jalview's DAS sequence feature retrieval system, which is described
+in Section \ref{dasfretrieval}.
+% The final type of one way service are sequence
+% and ID submission services.
+% exemplified by the `Envision2 Services' provided
+% by the ENFIN Consortium\footnote{ENFIN is the European Network for Functional
+% INtegration. Please see http://www.enfin.org for more information. }.
+
+% \subsubsection{One-way submission services}
+% Jalview can use the system's web browser to submit sets of sequences and
+% sequence IDs to web based applications. Single sequence IDs can be passed to
+% a web site using the user definable URL links listed under the {\sl
+% Links} submenu of the sequence ID popup menu. These are configured
+% in the {\sl Connections} tab of the {\sl Preferences} dialog box.
+%
+% The Envision 2 services presented in the webservice menu provides are the first
+% example of one-way services where multiple sequences or sequence IDs can be
+% sent. The {\sl Web service $\Rightarrow$ Envision 2 Services} menu entry
+% provides two sub-menus that enable you to submit the sequences or IDs
+% associated with the alignment or just the currently selected sequences to one
+% of the Envision2 workflows. Selecting any one will open a new browser window on
+% the Envision2 web application. The menu entries and their tooltips provide
+% details of the Envision2 workflow and the dataset set that will be submitted
+% ({\sl i.e.} the database reference type, or associated sequence subset). Please
+% note, due to technical limitations, Jalview can currently only submit small
+% numbers of sequences to the workflows - if no sequence or ID submissions are
+% presented in the submenus, then try to select a smaller number of sequences to
+% submit.
+
+\subsection{Remote Analysis Web Services}
+Remote analysis services enable Jalview to use external computational
+facilities. There are currently three types of service - multiple sequence
+alignment, protein secondary structure prediction, and alignment analysis.
+Many of these are provided by JABA servers, which are described at the end of
+this section. In all cases, Jalview will construct a job based on the alignment
+or currently selected sequences, ask the remote server to run the job, monitor
+status of the job and, finally, retrieve the results of the job and display
+them. The Jalview user is kept informed of the progress of the job through a
+status window.
+
+Currently, web service jobs and their status windows are not stored in Jalview
+Project Files\footnote{This may be rectified in future versions.}, so it is
+important that you do not close Jalview whilst a job is running. It is also
+essential that you have a continuous network connection in order to
+successfully use web services from Jalview, since it periodically checks the
+progress of running jobs.
+
+
+\subsection{JABA Web Services for Sequence Alignment and Analysis}
+\label{jabaservices}
+JABA stands for ``JAva Bioinformatics Analysis'', which is a system developed
+by Peter Troshin and Geoff Barton at the University of Dundee for running
+computationally intensive bioinformatics analysis programs. A JABA installation
+typically provides a range of JABA web services (JABAWS) for use by other
+programs, such as Jalview.
+
+Exercises in the remainder of this section will demonstrate the simplest way of
+installing JABA on your computer, and configuring Jalview so it can access the JABA services. If you
+need any further help or more information about the services, please go to the
+\href{http://www.compbio.dundee.ac.uk/jabaws}{JABAWS home page}.
+%% \subsubsection{Aims}
+%% \begin{list}{$\bullet$}{}
+%% \item Gain experience using the different alignment services provided by
+% JABA
+%%\item Learn about the way that Jalview stores user presets for JABA services
+%%\item Learn how to install JABA services and configure Jalview to access them
+%%\end{list}
+
+\subsection{Changing the Web Services Menu Layout}
+\label{changewsmenulayout}
+If you are working with a lot of different JABA services, you may wish to change
+the way Jalview lays out the web services menu. You can do this from the Web
+Services tab of the {\sl Preferences} dialog box.
+
+\exercise{Changing the Layout of the Web Services Menu}{
+\label{changewsmenulayoutex}
+\exstep{Make sure you have loaded an alignment into Jalview, and examine the
+current layout of the alignment window's {\sl Web Service} menu.}
+\exstep{Open the preferences dialog box and select the web services tab.}
+\exstep{Ensure the {\sl Enable JABAWS services} checkbox is selected, and unselect
+the {\sl Enable Enfin Services} checkboxes.}
+\exstep{Hit {\sl Refresh Services} to update the web services menu -- once the
+progress bar has completed, open the {\sl Web Service} menu to view the changes.}
+\exstep{Select the {\sl Index by host} checkbox and refresh the services once again.
+
+{\sl Observe the way the layout of the JABAWS Alignment submenu changes.}
+}
+\exstep{Do the same with the {\sl Index by type} checkbox.}
+}
+
+Jalview provides these options for configuring the layout of the {\sl Web Service}
+menu because different Jalview users may have access to a different number of
+JABA services, and each will have their own preference regarding the layout of
+the menu.
+
+\begin{figure}[htbc]

+\caption{{\bf The Jalview Web Services preferences panel.} Options are provided
+for configuring the list of JABA servers that Jalview will use, enabling and
+disabling Enfin services, and configuring the layout of the web services
+menu.}
+\label{jvjabawsconfig}
+\end{center}
+\end{figure}
+
+
+\subsubsection{Testing JABA services}
+The JABAWS configuration dialog shown in Figure \ref{jvjabawsconfig} has colour
+codes to indicate whether the Desktop can access the server, and whether all
+services advertised by the server are functional. The colour codes are:
+
+\begin{list}{$\bullet$}{}
+ \item Red - Server cannot be contacted or reports a connection error.
+ \item Amber - Jalview can connect, but one or more services are non-functional.
+ \item Green - Server is functioning normally.
+\end{list}
+ %TODO green and a tick, red and a cros, amber and a value indicating whether its all going
+
+Test results from JABAWS are reported on Jalview's console output (opened from
+the Tools menu). Tests are re-run every time Jalview starts, and when the
+[Refresh Services] button is pressed on the Jalview JABAWS configuration panel.
+
+\subsubsection{Resetting the JABA Services Setting to their Defaults}
+Once you have configured a JABAWS server and selected the OK button of the
+preferences menu, the settings will be stored in your Jalview preferences file,
+along with any preferences regarding the layout of the web services menu. If
+you should ever need to reset the JABAWS server list to its defaults, use the
+`Reset Services' button on the Web Services preferences panel.
+
+\subsection{Running your own JABA Server}
+You can download and run JABA on your own machine using the `VMWare' or
+VirtualBox virtual machine environments. If you would like to learn how to do
+this, there are full instructions at the
+\href{http://www.compbio.dundee.ac.uk/jabaws/}{JABA web site}.
+
+\exercise{Installing a JABA Virtual Machine on your Computer}{
+\label{jabawsvmex}{\sl This tutorial will demonstrate the simplest way of
+installing JABA on your computer, and configuring Jalview so it can access the JABA services.
+
+{\bf Prerequisites}
+
+You will need a copy of VMWare Player/Workstation/Fusion on your machine.
+}
+
+\exstep{If you do not have VMWare player installed, download it from

+}
+\exstep{Unpack the archive's contents to a place on your machine with at least
+2GB of free space.
+
+(On Windows, right click on the archive, and use the 'Extract archive..' option).
+}
+\exstep{Open the newly extracted directory and double click the VMWare virtual
+machine configuration file (jabaws.vcf). This will launch the VMWare player.
+}
+\exstep{Once VMWare player has started up, it may ask the question ``Did you move or copy
+this virtual appliance?'' -- select `Copy'.}
+\exstep{You may be prompted to download the VMWare linux tools. These are not
+necessary, so close the window or click on `Later'.}
+\exstep{You may also be prompted to install support for one or more devices (USB
+or otherwise). Say `No' to these options.}
+\exstep{Once the machine has loaded, it will display a series of IP addresses
+for the different services provided by the VM. Make a note of the JABAWS URL --
+this will begin with `http:' and end with `/jabaws''.}
