+<body>
+
+ <strong>PDB Sequence Fetcher</strong>
+ <p>From Jalview 2.x.x a speciliased interface was introduced for
+ fast and efficient discovery/retrieval of sequence data from the PDB
+ database. The introduced interface enables live querying of PDB data
+ on-the-fly thereby eliminating the need to memorise database accession
+ or to cross-reference other bioinformatics websites before retrieving
+ a sequence data in jalview. The underlying technology is provided by
+ EBI and is based on Apache Solr which is a text based search engine.</p>
+
+ <p>
+ The PDB Sequence Fetcher interface can be opened by selecting <strong>PDB</strong>
+ as the choice database from the <strong>'Select Database
+ Retrieval Source'</strong> interface of <a href="seqfetch.html">Sequence
+ Fetcher</a>.

+ <p>
+ <strong>Searching the PDB Database</strong><br> Once the
+ interface is opened, typing in the search text box will execute a live
+ query to the PDB database and display the results on-the-fly as seen
+ in the screen-shot above. Use the drop-down menu to select a specific
+ field to search by in the PDB database, the default option is <strong>'ALL'</strong>.
+ <br>
+
+ <br>Wild card searching: The PDB sequence fetcher also provides support for wild card querying of the PDB database.
+ <br>Single character (matches a single character) - ?
+ The search string te?t would match both test and text.
+
+<br>Multiple characters (matches zero or more sequential characters) - *
+
+The wildcard search:
+tes* - would match test, testing, and tester.
+
+
+You can also use wildcard characters in the middle of a term. For
+example:
+te*t - would match test and text.
+*est - would match pest and test.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ <strong>Customising displayed meta-data</strong> <br>To change the
+ displayed meta-data in the search result, click the <strong>'Configure
+ Displayed Columns'</strong> tab, then tick off the options wanted.
+ </p>
+ <p><strong>Importing Sequence</strong><br>
+ After querying the PDB database, to import the found data into Jalview, select the entries you wish to import then click the ok button at the bottom of the interface.</p>

+ 2.x.x.</em>
