Can't see databases in Database Chooser after selecting Fetch Sequences...!


Thank you to everyone who wrote letters of support last year for our application to the BBSRC, we should hear the outcome in the next couple of months.

We are now applying to the Wellcome Trust to renew funding to support Jalview's use in biomedical sequence analysis, including interpretation of genomic variation and long read RNA data (e.g. Nanopore) at the protein coding level. If you would like Jalview to continue to develop and be supported then please take a few minutes to write us a support letter saying how you use Jalview in your research/teaching.

Write as a PDF including your institution's heading and send to:
support_jalview@bartongroup.org by Friday 22nd March 2019.

Thank you!

If you are running Jalview 2.10.0 under Ubuntu or some other (possibly GTK based) Linux desktop, you may find that after opening the Sequence Fetcher, you are presented with a dialog box just showing 'OK' and 'Cancel' buttons, but nothing much else. The empty panel is due to an underlying problem with Java, but you can still choose from the list of databases with the keyboard !

Workaround with the keyboard

There are six databases provided by default in 2.10.0: EMBL, EMBL (CDS), Ensembl, Ensembl Genomes, PDB, and Uniprot. Press the Up or Down arrow keys to select between these, and a message in the dialog box will show which database you have moved to. You can also type the first letter to jump to a particular database. Once you've made your selection, you'll need to click the 'OK' button to proceed to that database's fetcher dialog.
