Jalview development and support is funded by a grant from the UK BBSRC. We are currently seeking renewal of this grant and letters of support are critical to the success of this renewal. If you find Jalview useful, please take a few minutes to write as soon as possible and tell us how you use Jalview and how important it is to your work!

Letters of support, ideally as a PDF on headed paper or as plain text should be sent to: support_jalview@bartongroup.org

Jalview is open source, and primarily written in Java. The Jalview Release History lists all of the previous versions and links to their release notes, and if you want to use an earlier Jalview version, take a look at the Jalview Version Archive.

Jalview development

If you want to report a bug, sugest a new feature, or generally help make Jalview better, then please take a look at the Jalview JIRA bugtracker.
If you're a developer, you'll also want to browse the Jalview GITweb, which provides a view of the Jalview GIT repo at http://source.jalview.org/git/jalview.git

Getting involved

If you want to contribute code to Jalview, then sign up at our issue tracker, and send an email the Jalview coordinator (Jim Procter) to be made a developer on the Jalview project. If you want to add new calculation services to the Jalview desktop, then you might also be interested in working on Jalview's sister project, JABAWS.

We are happy to help out if you want to use Jalview for your own research project, and if you are in full time education, keep an eye out for the Phyloinformatics Summer of Code, which is a way for students who want to work on Jalview to be supported by the Google Summer of Code.
