Improving Jalview

Hello,

I would like to improve the Jalview editor. This mean, I would like to be able to read a fasta-file of an alignment including the secondary structure, the fasta-file looks like this:

Prot_1_sequence:
ABDCGJLLKK
Prot_1_secondary_structure
HHHHBBBTTT
Prot_2_sequence:
ABDCGJLLKK
Prot_2_secondary_structure
HHHHBBBTTT

Prot_n_sequence:
ABDCGJLLKK
Prot_n_secondary_structure
HHHHBBBTTT

This means, we have a number n of differents proteins sequence which are all aligned and in between we have the secondary structure for each sequence. I hope, you understand what I mean.

Any helps are welcome,
Thanks

Massassi.

Hi Massassi.

Thanks very much for this suggestion. The format that you describe would
be quite easy to implement in Jalview - I am also aware that the CBS at
the Danish Technical University developed a very similar model for
annotating sequences with the results of their predictors, and it would
be useful for jalview to read this kind of file.

Are you a java programmer ? I can give you some pointers on how to
implement this, if you are interested in this.

Alternately, you could try generating a Stockholm format file. This
format allows secondary structure to be specified, and is one of the few
formats currently understood by Jalview which also allow features and
secondary structure annotation to be specified in the same file.
