Extending The Jalview Resource for Biological Sequence Alignment and Analysis. (360G-Wellcome-101651_Z_13_Z)
Jalview (www.jalview.org) is a free software system for the analysis, editing and visualisation of biological sequence data. It has been developed continuously since 1996. As an applet it is central to hundreds of web resources including those from the EBI and the Sanger Institute. The Jalview Desktop Application is started over 22,000 times per month by users in more than 100 countries. With the massive expansion in sequencing brought about by Next Generation technologies, the need for a too l like Jalview to help interpret the data and put it into functional context has never been higher. In addition to sophisticated multiple sequence alignment editing functions, Jalview provides linked views of phylogenetic trees, DNA and protein sequences, and protein three-dimensional structures. It communicates with remote servers via SOAP and REST protocols for CPU intensive analyses. Jalview currently has funding until Sept 2014 for a single research assistant, who handles software developm ent, support and training/outreach. Here we request additional staff to make Jalview development, bug fixing and dissemination more resilient and responsive so that it can meet the demands of its substantial user community in the face of new sequence analysis challenges.
