NEWS: 5th October 2009 - Jalview is now supported by BBSRC for 5 years!

What is Jalview?
Jalview is a multiple alignment editor written in Java. It is used widely in a variety of web pages (e.g. the EBI Clustalw server and the Pfam protein domain database) but is available as a general purpose alignment editor.

Jalview Development is supported from 2009 to 2014 by the BBSRC, and coordinated by Geoff Barton at the University of Dundee. Version 2 arose from the "VAMSAS" Project (BBSRC eScience 2004-2007), with consultancy (blessing :-) from Michele Clamp; the originator of Jalview.

Authors :
Version 2+ Andrew Waterhouse; Jim Procter; David Martin; Geoff Barton
Version 1+ Michele Clamp; James Cuff; Stephen Searle; Geoff Barton

Thanks to Andreas Prlic for code and suggestions for DAS feature capabilities and Benjamin Schuster-Böckler for his Stockholm parsing code, both from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Cambridge.
