From: jprocter Sequence Fetcher Jalview can retrieve sequences from certain databases using either the
-WSDBFetch service provided by the European Bioinformatics Institute, and, since Jalview 2.4, DAS servers capable of the sequence command (configured in DAS settings). The Sequence Fetcher dialog box can be opened via the "File"
- menu on the main desktop in order to retrieve sequences as a new
- alignment, or opened via the "File" menu of an existing alignment
- to import additional sequences. Please note, there will be a short delay when the sequence fetcher is first opened,
- whilst Jalview compiles the list of available sequence datasources from the
- currently defined DAS server registry.
+ Jalview can retrieve sequences from certain databases using
+either the WSDBFetch service provided by the European Bioinformatics
+Institute, and, since Jalview 2.4, DAS servers capable of the sequence
+command (configured in DAS settings). The Sequence Fetcher dialog box can be opened via the
+"File" menu on the main desktop in order to retrieve sequences
+as a new alignment, or opened via the "File" menu of an
+existing alignment to import additional sequences. Please note, there
+will be a short delay when the sequence fetcher is first opened, whilst
+Jalview compiles the list of available sequence datasources from the
+currently defined DAS server registry. First, select the database you want to retrieve sequences from.
+Then, enter one or more accession ids (as a semi-colon separated list),
+or press the "Example" button to paste the example accession
+for the currently selected database into the retrieval box. Finally,
+press "OK" to initiate the retrieval. Fetching Individual PDB Chains
+If you are retrieving sequences from the PDB, you can retrieve specific
+chains by appending a colon and the chain id to the PDB id. For example
+:
+ 1GAQ:A
+
+When retrieving from DAS sequence sources, coordinate range arguments
+can be passed to the server using the standard DAS sequence command
+format (
+:<start>,<end>
+)
+
Retrieving parts of large sequence records
+Some sequence sources allow a range query to be appended to the sequence
+ID - e.g. 'Mito:1,85779'. If you know a source understands this type of
+query format, then you should untick the checkbox for 'replace commas
+with semi-colons' so the range query can be passed to the server
+(otherwise the query will be split up into two 'Mito:1' and '85779'). In
+some cases, a source that supports range queries usually include a range
+qualification in its example query. In this case, Jalview will
+automatically disable the 'replace commas with semi-colons' option.
+Support for range queries was added in Jalview 2.6
