[Jalview-discuss] Jalview 2.6 Now Available from www.jalview.org

[Jim Procter]

I'm very pleased to announce that a new version of the Jalview multiple 
sequence alignment editor and analysis system is now available for 
download from www.jalview.org.

Jalview 2.6 introduces new web services provided by the JABA web 
services framework (see www.compbio.dundee.ac.uk/jabaws for more 
information), and its structure visualisation system has been updated to 
take advantage of capabilities in the latest version of Jmol.

Highlights in Jalview Version 2.6

  * JABA Web Services for multiple alignment using:
     o ClustalW
     o MAFFT
     o Muscle
     o ProbCons
     o T-COFFEE
  * User modifiable alignment service parameters
  * Visualization of superposed structures associated with protein or 
nucleotide sequence alignments.
  * Export coordinates and projection as CSV from PCA viewer

Some of the issues resolved in this release:
  * Improved layout of Enfin Envision submission service.
  * clustalx colourscheme colours Ds preferentially when a column is 
over 50% acidic
  * Sequence fetcher does not replace ',' for ';' when querying DAS 
sequence sources
  * InstallAnywhere builds fail to launch on certain Mac OS X versions

As usual, please see the release history at 
www.jalview.org/releaseHistory.html for the full details, and should you 
experience any problems with this new version, please send an email to 
the discussion list at jalview-discuss at jalview.org, or file a bug report 
on the jalview bug tracker at issues.jalview.org. (ps. If you've never 
filed a bug report before, then check out the FAQ at 
http://www.jalview.org/faq.html#reportbug ).

Finally, I've also posted the list of Jalview training courses that we 
are running this year. We will be running three courses over the coming 
months, in Oxford (4th Oct), Berkeley (25th Oct), and a 1 dat 
residential course at the EBI. See http://www.jalview.org/training.html 
for the list, and links to the host institution.

Happy Jalviewing!

Jim Procter, for the Jalview Team.
