JABAWS 2

JABAWS is free software which provides web services for prediction of protein disorder, multiple sequence alignment and amino acid conservation conveniently packaged to run on your local computer, server or cluster. JABAWS v2.0 includes new disorder prediction services based on DisEMBL, IUPred, Ronn, GlobPlot and protein sequence alignment conservation measures calculated by AACon.

What is JABAWS client?

A JABAWS client is a program that lets you run the bioinformatics methods for which a JABAWS server provides web services.

This client has the same functionality as the command line client, but instead allows JABAWS services to be accessed in a more user-friendly manner, through a graphical user interface.

JABAWS versions compatibility and Jalview support

JABAWS version 2 is fully backward compatible with JABAWS version 1. That means that all JABAWS 1 clients should be able to use JABAWS 2 instead. However, they will be limited to the multiple sequence alignment web services only. To benefit of new web services introduced in JABAWS 2 the clients have to be updated.

Programmatic access to JABAWS

JABA Web Services are WS-I basic profile compliant, which means they can be accessed using any programming language or system that can utilize standard SOAP web services.

JABAWS Command Line Client Usage

The command line client comes as a part of client package which you are welcome to download. The command line client can be used to align sequences using any of JABAWS supported web services. The client is OS independent and supports most of the functions which can be accessed programmatically via JABAWS API. Using this client you could align sequences using presets or custom parameters, please see examples of this below. Here is the list of options supported by the command line client.

Usage: java -jar <path_to_jar_file> -h=host_and_context -s=serviceName ACTION [OPTIONS]
