💡AlphaFold's pLDDT scores can be visualised in Jalview as annotation tracks at the bottom - useful when comparing regions of high confidence across predicted protein structures in alignments.

🔎 Browse extensive libraries of protein structures in Jalview using the 3D Beacons Network. Once imported, these can be colored, superimposed and viewed in 3D in conjunction with alignments.
👓 Synced views provide precision and clarity, allowing you to hone in on regions of importance.

📝 Alignments are much easier to analyse when you can read the sequences better. Jalview allows you to change alignment font size and type from its 'Format' menu. Choose 'Font' to gain access to more than 100 fonts and make your alignments pop in publications and presentations alike!
You're very welcome 💓
🖥️ 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.

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.
