- Shows a dialog window in which you can select known ids from
- Uniprot, EMBL, EMBLCDS or PDB database using Web Services provided by
- the European Bioinformatics Institute. See Sequence Fetcher.
- Add sequences to the visible alignment from file, URL, or cut &
- paste window
- Reloads the alignment from the original file, if available.
- Warning: This will delete any edits, analyses and
- colourings applied since the alignment was last saved, and cannot be
- undone.
- Saves the alignment to the file it was loaded from (if available), in
- the same format, updating the original in place.
- Save the alignment to local file. A file selection window
- will open, use the "Files of type:" selection box to
- determine which alignment format to
- save as.
- The alignment will be displayed in plain text in a new
- window, which you can "Copy and Paste" using the pull down
- menu, or your standard operating system copy and paste keys. The
- output window also has a "New Window"
- button to import the (possibly edited) text as a new alignment.
- Select the format of the text by selecting one of the following menu
- items.
-
-
-
- Jalview will print the alignment using the current fonts and
- colours of your alignment. If the alignment has annotations visible,
- these will be printed below the alignment. If the alignment is wrapped
- the number of residues per line of your alignment will depend on the
- paper width or your alignment window width, whichever is the smaller.
-
- Creates an alignment graphic with the current view's annotation,
- alignment background colours and group colours. If the alignment is wrapped, the output will also be
- wrapped and will have the same visible residue width as the open
- alignment.
-
-
-
- Create a web page from your
- alignment.
- Create an Encapsulated
- Postscript file from your alignment.
- Create a Portable Network
- Graphics file from your alignment.
- All features visible on the alignment can be saved to file or
- displayed in a textbox in either Jalview or GFF format
- All annotations visible on the alignment can be saved to file or
- displayed in a textbox in Jalview annotations format.
- Jalview can view
- trees stored in the Newick file format, and associate them with the
- alignment. Note: the ids of the tree file and your alignment MUST be
- the same.
- Load files describing precalculated sequence features or alignment annotations.
- Close the alignment window. Make sure you have saved your
- alignment before you close - either as a Jalview project or by using
- the Save As menu.
-
-
- This will undo any edits you make to the alignment. This applies to
- insertion or deletion of gaps, cutting residues or sequences from the
- alignment or pasting sequences to the current alignment or sorting the
- alignment. NOTE: It DOES NOT undo colour changes,
- adjustments to group sizes, or changes to the annotation panel.
- Any actions which you undo can be redone using redo.
- This will make a copy of the currently selected residues
- before removing them from your alignment. Click on a sequence name if
- you wish to select a whole sequence.
- Use <CTRL> and X (<APPLE> and X on MacOSX) to cut.
- Copies the currently selected residues to the system
- clipboard - you can also do this by pressing <CTRL> and C
- (<APPLE> and C on MacOSX).
- If you try to paste the clipboard contents to a text editor, you will
- see the format of the copied residues FASTA.
-
-
- A new alignment window will be created from sequences
- previously copied or cut to the system clipboard.
- Use <CTRL> and <SHIFT> and V(<APPLE> and
- <SHIFT;> and and V on MacOSX) to paste.
- Copied sequences from another alignment window can be added
- to the current Jalview alignment.
- This will delete the currently selected residues without
- copying them to the clipboard. Like the other edit operations, this
- can be undone with Undo.
- If the alignment has marked columns, the alignment will be
- trimmed to the left of the leftmost marked column. To mark a column,
- mouse click the scale bar above the alignment. Click again to unmark a
- column, or select "Deselect All" to deselect all columns.
- If the alignment has marked columns, the alignment will be
- trimmed to the left of the leftmost marked column. To mark a column,
- mouse click the scale bar above the alignment. Click again to unmark a
- column, or select "Deselect All" to deselect all columns.
- All columns which only contain gap characters ("-",
- ".") will be deleted.
- You may set the default gap character in preferences.
- Gap characters ("-", ".") will be deleted
- from the selected area of the alignment. If no selection is made, ALL
- the gaps in the alignment will be removed.
- You may set the default gap character in preferences.
- Selecting this option brings up a window asking you to select
- a threshold. If the percentage identity between any two sequences
- (under the current alignment) exceeds this value then one of the
- sequences (the shorter) is discarded. Press the "Apply"
- button to remove redundant sequences. The "Undo" button will
- undo the last redundancy deletion.
- When selected, the alignment will be kept at minimal width
- (so there no empty columns before or after the first or last aligned
- residue) and all sequences will be padded with gap characters to the
- before and after their terminating residues.
- This switch is useful when making a tree using unaligned sequences and
- when working with alignment analysis programs which require 'properly
- aligned sequences' to be all the same length.
- You may set the default for Pad Gaps in the preferences.
-
-
- Opens the Find dialog box to search for residues, sequence name or
- residue position within the alignment and create new sequence features
- from the queries.
- Selects all the sequences and residues in the alignment.
- Use <CTRL> and A (<APPLE> and A on a MacOSX) to select
- all.
- Removes the current selection box (red dashed box) from the
- alignment window. All selected sequences, residues and marked columns
- will be deselected.
- Use <ESCAPE> to deselect all.
- Any sequence ids currently not selected will replace the
- current selection.
- Any columns currently not selected will replace the current
- column selection.
- The alignment will be reset with no defined groups.
- WARNING: This cannot be undone.
-
-
- Creates a new view from the current alignment view.
- Display each view associated with the alignment in its own alignment
- window, allowing several views to be displayed simultaneously.
- Each view associated with the alignment will be displayed within its
- own tab on the current alignment window.
- All hidden Columns / Sequences will be revealed.
- Hides the all the currently selected Columns / Sequences
- If this is selected the "Annotation Panel" will be
- displayed below the alignment. The default setting is to display the
- conservation calculation, quality calculation and consensus values as
- bar charts.
- Show or hide sequence features on this alignment.
- Opens the Sequence Feature Settings dialog box to control the
- colour and display of sequence features on the alignment, and
- configure and retrieve features from DAS annotation servers.
- A scaled version of the alignment will be displayed in a
- small window. A red box will indicate the currently visible area of
- the alignment. Move the visible region using the mouse.
-
-
-

+
+
- Opens the "Choose Font" dialog box, in order to
- change the font of the display and enable or disable 'smooth fonts'
- (anti-aliasing) for faster alignment rendering.
- When ticked, the alignment display is "wrapped" to the width of the
- alignment window. This is useful if your alignment has only a few
- sequences to view its full width at once.
- Additional options for display of sequence numbering and scales are
- also visible in wrapped layout mode:
-
-
-
- Show the alignment column position scale.
- Show the sequence position for the first aligned residue in each row
- in the left column of the alignment.
- Show the sequence position for the last aligned residue in each row
- in the right-most column of the alignment.
- If this box is selected the sequence name will have the start
- and end position of the sequence appended to the name, in the format
- NAME/START-END
- If this box is selected then the sequence names displayed in
- the sequence label area will be aligned against the left-hand edge of
- the alignment display, rather than the left-hand edge of the alignment
- window.
- When this box is selected, positions in the alignment where
- rows and columns are hidden will be marked by blue arrows.
- If this is selected the background of a residue will be coloured using
- the selected background colour. Useful if used in conjunction with
- "Colour Text."
- If this is selected the residues will be displayed using the
- standard 1 character amino acid alphabet.
- If this is selected the residues will be coloured according
- to the background colour associated with that residue. The colour is
- slightly darker than background so the amino acid symbol remains
- visible.
- When this is selected, gap characters will be displayed as
- "." or "-". If unselected, then gap characters
- will appear as blank spaces.
- You may set the default gap character in preferences.
-
-
- If this is selected, any changes made to the background
- colour will be applied to all currently defined groups.
-
- Opens the Colour Text dialog box to set a different text colour for
- light and dark background, and the intensity threshold for transition
- between them.
- See colours for a
- description of all colour schemes.
-
- See Colouring
- by Conservation.
-
- Use this to display the conservation threshold slider window.
- Useful if the window has been closed, or if the 'by conservation'
- option appears to be doing nothing!
-
- See Above
- Percentage Identity.
-
- Use this to set the threshold value for colouring above
- Identity. Useful if the window has been closed.
-
- Colours the alignment on a per-column value from a specified
- annotation. See Annotation
- Colouring.
