+It is designed to be platform independent (running on Mac, MS Windows, Linux
and any other platforms that support Java). Jalview is capable of editing and
analysing large alignments (thousands of sequences) with minimal degradation in

Sequences, alignments, trees, structures, features and alignment annotation may also be exchanged with the local filesystem.

figure generation capabilities for the preparation of alignments for publication.

basic operation of Jalview and should be sufficient for those who want to
launch Jalview (Section \ref{startingjv}), open an alignment (Section
\ref{loadingseqs}), perform basic editing (Section
\ref{selectingandediting}), colouring (Section \ref{colours}), and produce
publication and presentation quality graphical output (Section \ref{layoutandoutput}).

the Jalview Desktop's webservices is given in Section \ref{jvwebservices}, and
the alignment and secondary structure prediction services are described
in detail in Sections \ref{msaservices} and \ref{protsspredservices}
respectively.

\section{Navigation}
\label{jvnavigation}
The major features of the Jalview Desktop are illustrated in Figure \ref{anatomy}. The alignment window is the primary window for editing and visualization, and can contain several independent views of the alignment being worked with. The other windows (Trees, Structures, PCA plots, etc) are linked to a specific alignment view. Each area of the alignment window has a separate context menu accessed by clicking the right mouse button.
Jalview has two navigation and editing modes: {\bf normal mode}, where
editing and navigation is performed using the mouse, and {\bf cursor mode}
where editing and navigation are performed using the keyboard. The {\bf F2 key}
- is used to switch between these two modes. With a Mac as the F2 is

+
+ {\em Note:} On MacBooks and other laptops with compact keyboards, you may need

+ keys. So to toggle between keyboard and normal mode, press [Fn]-[F2].

-The {\sl Calculate $\Rightarrow$ Get Cross References } function is only available when Jalview recognises that there are protein/DNA cross-references present on sequences in the alignment. When selected, it retrieves the cross references from the alignment's dataset (a set of sequence and annotation metadata shared between alignments) or using the sequence database fetcher. This function can be used for EMBL sequences containing coding regions to open the Uniprot protein products in a new alignment window. The new alignment window that is opened to show the protein products will also allow dynamic highlighting of codon positions in the EMBL record for each residue in the protein product(s).
