Jalview is a free-to-use sequence alignment and analysis visualisation software linking genomic variants in DNA, protein alignments and 3D structure (http://www.jalview.org/). This video explains how to orientate and navigate Jalview’s integrated multiple window interface.

Jalview can access a wide range of databases including PFAM, PDB, EMBL and UniProt. It can read a variety of file formats including FASTA, PFAM, MSF, Clustal, BLC, PIR, Stockholm. It utilizes many different multiple sequence analysis tools such as Clustal Omega, Muscle, MAFFT, ProbCons, T-COFFEES, ClustalW, MSA Prob and GLProb.

This exercise can be found in our User Manual, available to download from the Jalview website (http://www.jalview.org/about/documentation). Other Jalview training videos can be viewed in the training section of the website (http://www.jalview.org/training/Training-Videos).
