Hi,
I am wondering whether there is a way to freeze sequences (e.g. reference sequence) in Jalview and search sequences by their sequence id.
Thanks!

Hello Yanan,
Hi,
I am wondering whether there is a way to freeze sequences (e.g. reference sequence) in Jalview and search sequences by their sequence id.
I'm not quite sure what you mean by freeze sequences - do you want to preserve the gaps/positions for a reference sequence ? 'Locked editing' may do what you want - simply select the sequences you want to edit, and the rest of the sequences will be unaffected (see here: http://www.jalview.org/help/html/editing/index.html ).
Regarding your second question, the find box will search sequence IDs as well as sequences. Its instructions are here: http://www.jalview.org/help/html/features/search.html
There is a bug in the 2.4 version regarding sequence ID searching which means that case insensitive matching sometimes fails - it was discussed a few weeks ago on this list. The development version will have this issue fixed, but until then, make sure you use the correct case (if you know it) when using the find box to search for sequence IDs.
Hope that helps!
Jim.
