Editing

Jalview 2.08 Enhancements - Editing can be restricted to the current - selection area. This allows the user to "Lock" the alignment either - side of the selection area. Any gap insertions or deletions will only affect - the current selection area.

In this example, if Sequence IL2RA_MACMU has gaps removed from position 98-104, - the same number of gaps will be inserted at position 116, (between M and L). -

Editing is possible via the keyboard by toggling the Cursor mode on / off with - F2. A full list of keyboard editing actions is found here. -

There are two major ways to edit alignments - in 'Normal mode', +gaps are inserted and deleted at the mouse pointer in various ways by +clicking the left mouse button and pressing a combination of either +shift and control (or the apple key on Macs) and dragging the mouse. Pressing +F2 toggles the alternative 'Cursor +mode' keyboard editing facility, where the space bar and delete +keys add and remove gaps at the current editing position. The key +strokes for both these modes are summarised in the keystrokes table.

Tip: For large alignments, deselect "Calculate -> Autocalculate Consensus" to prevent the alignment performing lengthy calculations after every edit.

Alignment Annotations File Format
-
- Note: This format is primarily intended to be used for the applet, which does - not have an XML parser and where file size must be kept to a minimum to reduce - download time.

A precalculated annotations fiile can read onto an alignment from the command - line ("-annotations"), by drag and dropping the the annotations file - onto an alignment or by selecting from the File menu "Load Features / Annotations".

The File is in tab delimited format. The file must have the line JALVIEW_ANNOTATION - as an identifier. Then a block of annotations are added in the form GRAPH_TYPE - Label Values

GRAPH_TYPE can be either BAR_GRAPH, LINE_GRAPH or NO_GRAPH. The values are - per alignment column, separated by "|". Multiple content per column - can be separated with commas, Jalview will display the content if it interprates - the content as a text label, or secondary structure character (H or E)

You can optionally associate an annotation with a sequence by adding a line - SEQUENCE_REFseq_namestartIndex All Annotations after a SEQUENCE_REF will be - associated with that sequence. Use SEQUENCE_REF ALIGNMENT to cancel the associtations.

The visual graphs can be coloured or combined with other graphs, or have an - arbitrary line drawn at a certain value using the following lines.

COLOUR<tab>graph name<tab>colour
- COMBINE<tab>graph 1 name<tab>graph 2 name
- GRAPHLINE<tab>graph name<tab>value<tab>label<tab>colour

An example Annotation file may look like this:

The Alignment Annotations File

Alignment annotations can be imported onto an alignment since + version 2.08 of Jalview, via an annotations file. It is a simple + ASCII text file consisting of tab + delimited records similar to the Sequence Features File, and + introduced primarily for use with the Jalview applet.

Alignment annotations files are imported into Jalview in the +following ways:
+

from the command line
+ -annotations <Annotations filename>
Dragging an annotations file onto an alignment window
Via the "Load Features / Annotations" entry in the +File menu of an alignment window.

Annotations File Format

The File consists of lines containing an instruction followed by + tab delimited fields, and any lines starting with "#" are + ignored. The first non-commented out line of a valid Annotations file must begin with :

JALVIEW_ANNOTATION

A row of annotation is added with a line like +

GRAPH_TYPE	Label	Values

GRAPH_TYPE
This is can be either of "BAR_GRAPH", + "LINE_GRAPH" or "NO_GRAPH", defining the type of + annotation row that is being described. +
Values
This field is a series + of symbols and/or quantities separated by the pipe symbol "|", + mapped onto the columns of the alignment.
Some types of annotation + can display both text, symbols and quantities at each column, and these are + separated with commas within the pipe-delimited Value field. Jalview + will display the content if it's values are appropriate for the type + of the annotation being defined:
- BAR_GRAPH
  text + character,number
- LINE_GRAPH
  number
- NO_GRAPH
  text label,H or E for helix or strand + symbol
+

You can associate an annotation with a sequence by preceding its + definition with the line: +

SEQUENCE_REF	seq_name	[startIndex]

+All Annotations defined after a SEQUENCE_REF command will then be + associated with that sequence, and the first field in the Value + field list will (optionally) be + placed at the startIndex'th column.

Sequence associations + are turned off for subsequent annotation definitions by: +

SEQUENCE_REF	ALIGNMENT

LINE_GRAPH type annotations can be given a colour, + combined onto the same vertical axis, and have abscissa (lines of + constant value - so they are horizontal) at particular + values using the following lines (respectively): +

COLOUR	graph name	colour
+COMBINE	graph 1 name	graph 2 name
+GRAPHLINE	graph name	value	label	colour

Sequence Features File

The Sequence features file (which used to be known as the "Groups +file" prior to version 2.08) is a simple way of getting +your own sequence annotations into Jalview. It was introduced to allow +sequence features to be rendered in the Jalview applet, and so is +intentionally lightweight and minimal because the applet is often used +in situations where data file size must be kept to a minimum, and no +XML parser is available.

Features files are imported into Jalview in the following ways:
+

from the command line
+ -features <Features filename>
Dragging a features file onto an alignment window
Via the "Load Features / Annotations" entry in the +File menu of an alignment window.

Sequence Features File Format

Note: This format is primarily intended to be used for the applet, which does - not have an XML parser and where file size must be kept to a minimum to reduce - download time.

(Prior to version 2.08 known as the "Groups file")
- A precalculated Features file can read onto an alignment from the command line - ("-features"), by drag and dropping the features file onto an alignment - or by selecting from the File menu "Load Features / Annotations".

Specify the feature types first, then refer to the feature type for each sequence.

featureType<tab>colour
- description<tab>sequenceId<tab>sequenceIndex<tab>start<tab>end<tab>featureType

eg
- domain red
- metal ion-binding site 00ff00
- transit peptide 0,105,215
- chain 225,105,0
- modified residue 105,225,35
- signal peptide 0,155,165

- Your Own description here Q93XJ9_SOLTU -1 1 48 signal peptide
- Your Own description here Q93XJ9_SOLTU -1 49 144 chain

An additional option in Jalview 2.08 is to group features in the following - way:

STARTGROUP<tab>My feature groupA
- ....Many Feature descriptions here
- ENDGROUP<tab>My feature groupA
+

A features file is a simple ASCII text file, where each line +contains tab separated text fields. No comments are +allowed.

The first set of lines contain type definitions: +

Feature label	Feature Colour

+A feature type has a text label, and a colour (specified as a +red,green,blue 24 bit triplet either in hexadecimal (eg. 00ff00) or as comma +separated numbers (ranging from 0 to 255)). +

The remaining lines in the file are the sequence annotation +definitions, where the now defined features are attached to regions on +particular sequences, optionally with some descriptive text (displayed +in a tooltip when the mouse is near the feature on that sequence). There are two alternate ways of referring to a +sequence, either by its text ID, or its index in an associated +alignment.

+description	sequenceId	sequenceIndex	start	end	featureType

Normally, +sequence features are associated with sequences rather than +alignments, and the sequenceIndex field is given as "-1". In +order to specify a sequence by its index in a particular alignment, the +sequenceId should be given as "ID_NOT_SPECIFIED", otherwise the +sequenceId field will be used in preference to the sequenceIndex field.

+Feature annotations can be collected into named groups by prefixing +definitions with lines of the +form:

startgroup	groupname

.. and +subsequently post-fixing the group +with:endgroup groupname
Feature grouping +was introduced in version 2.08, and used to control whether a set of features +are either hidden or shown together in the sequence Feature settings +dialog box.

+domain	red
+metal ion-binding site	00ff00
