🖥️ In the right place with the wrong tech?

Worry not - Jalview can be installed on MacOS, Windows and Linux- and Unix-based platforms. It can also be dowloaded via Conda and Homebrew and be run in your favourite web browser, making it an ideal choice for alignment analysis across many devices.

📈 Jalview is cited ~1,000 times/year—but how is it used? A 2024 survey found 70% of studies used Jalview for multiple sequence alignment (MSA). But, it can also be used for secondary structure and disorder prediction, conservation analyses, sequence feature mapping and 3D structure visualization.

💡Beacon of hope!

Did you know Jalview allows you to access thousands of experimental and predicted protein structures programmatically through the 3D Beacons network?

Working in Drug Discovery ? 💊

A whole host of clinically relevant features can be visualised on sequences in Jalview — allowing for pharmacologically important regions to be identified.

Thank you so much for your support, Christian! 💗💗💗

🌍 This week, we had the pleasure of providing training to the new cohort of life sciences postgraduate students at the University of Dundee. An array of topics were covered from the basics of multiple sequence alignment to AlphaFold structure quality in Jalview.

All the best for the future! ✨

🕵️‍♂️ Attention sequence sleuths! 🕵️‍♀️

🔎 Did you know you can detect similar sequences of protein, DNA and RNA in Jalview using PCA? This makes it easier for conserved regions, including functional subgroups, to be identified.

More information about the JPred server, including help resources, can be found here: www.compbio.dundee.ac.uk/jpred4/help....

🗣️ Did someone say secondary structure?

In this training video, Suzanne demonstrates how JPred4 can be used to perform secondary structure prediction jobs on single protein sequences.
