💭 Do JPred’s sequence-based secondary structure predictions agree with AlphaFold’s 3D structure-based ones? Find out with Jalview! Learn how to compare outputs to explore: ✅ Locations of shared helices and sheets ✅ Regions of prediction confidence ▶️ Watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7SH...

This week, we trained new University of Dundee research students exploring areas in 🧫 biology, 🪴plant sciences, 🧬bioinformatics, 🦷 dentistry & 🤰reproductive medicine. From sequence alignment & analysis to 3D structure discovery, we explored how Jalview can support their research. Happy Jalviewing!

📂 Who says iPhones have all the folding fun? If your alignment is wider than your screen, try Jalview’s ‘Wrap’ feature! Fold long alignments neatly into your window — then add scales on the left, right or top to create polished figures for papers, seminars & tutorials. ⬇️ www.jalview.org/download/

📝 Quick tip: You can find the number and length of sequences in your Jalview alignment from the 'View' menu! Select 'Alignment properties' and discover a wealth of information, including: 🧮 Total number of sequences 🧮 Minimum sequence length 🧮 Maximum sequence length 🧮 Average length

📺 Powering off your tech devices for the summer? Learning never stops! You can watch key bioinformatics lectures by Prof. Geoff Barton on the fundamentals of MSA analysis on your TV instead. Plus, a free 1 hour Jalview masterclass by Jalview Co-ordinator, Dr. Jim Procter. 🔗 Links in comments.

⚽ As football fever builds, there’s one competition where every nation is poised to win. 📺 Jalview’s YouTube channel has been watched 250,000+ times by scientists, students and bioinformaticians across 150+ countries. 🧬 Why not tune in too? ⬇️ Link below. 🔗 www.youtube.com/@jalviewtrai...

🏊🏼‍♂️ Dive into molecular structures this summer with Jalview’s integrated 3D viewers. Visualize thousands of protein, DNA and RNA structures with PyMOL, Chimera, ChimeraX and Jmol — whether you're an experienced bioinformatician or just getting started! ▶️ Learn more: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbms...

⚙️Large alignments can be tackled in Jalview by running alignment services using Slivka in Jalview 2.12 (now available via Jalview Develop). Downloading a local copy of JABAWS is another option. ⬇️ See below for links to both.

Protein secondary structure can be inferred using a number of machine learning methods. In our latest training video, we explore how two such methods — AlphaFold and JPred — can be accessed from Jalview to compare and contrast results. ▶️ Watch it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7SH...

🧮 Are you making the most of Jalview’s annotation rows? These visual layers add context for interpreting biological structure & function: conservation, alignment quality, consensus, secondary structure, AlphaFold's pLDDT & PAE. ➡️ Group/user-specific annotations can also be created.

Boost your workflow with Jalview’s 'Find' function! ✅ Locate motifs sequentially or en masse ✅ Designate hits as new features ✅ Copy to other alignments ✅ Visualize rapidly using the 'Overview Window' ⏰ Save time and see the big picture. 📖 Read more: www.jalview.org/help/html/fe...
