Loading annotations

Hi All,

I wish to use an annotation file to decorate my alignment. I created a dummy file (below) and used File->Load Features/Annotations. The file is called features.txt.

I am greated with an error box saying that jalview,
“Couldn’t load file /tmp/features.txt
Formats currently supported are
Fasta, MSF, Clustal, BLC, PIR, MSP and Pfam”

Can someone enlighten me as to how I can load in my file? The alignment is displayed when I try this.

many thanks

Hi,

I am using Jalview 2.3 (though the about option says 6.1). I do the same thing. I load a .aln file (from clustalw) then from the alignment window in Jalview I choose Load Features/Annotations and it works. An example of the beginning of a features file (which I create automatically in a Java program):

dpa1 111111
d1gv1a1_O d1gv1a1 -1 6 6 dpa1

The main difference I see in my file versus yours (at least as included in the email) is that I used tabs and your snippet appears to have spaces between columns.
Note: I use the numeric designation of a color so that I can get gradations of the same color.

Thanks Judith.

there was a space in the first line instead of a space . Fixed that and it works!
