This week, we trained new University of Dundee research students exploring areas in 🧫 biology, 🪴plant sciences, 🧬bioinformatics, 🦷 dentistry & 🤰reproductive medicine. From sequence alignment & analysis to 3D structure discovery, we explored how Jalview can support their research. Happy Jalviewing!

📂 Who says iPhones have all the folding fun? If your alignment is wider than your screen, try Jalview’s ‘Wrap’ feature! Fold long alignments neatly into your window — then add scales on the left, right or top to create polished figures for papers, seminars & tutorials. ⬇️ www.jalview.org/download/

👓 Visualising sequence alignments in 3D? Jalview enables multiple structures to be visualised with Chimera, ChimeraX, PyMOL and Jmol — helping scientists and educators bring biology to life. 📺 Explore the editor's functionality: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbms... www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRBL...

📝 Quick tip: You can find the number and length of sequences in your Jalview alignment from the 'View' menu! Select 'Alignment properties' and discover a wealth of information, including: 🧮 Total number of sequences 🧮 Minimum sequence length 🧮 Maximum sequence length 🧮 Average length

📣 Calling all sequence sleuths! 📣 Our latest training video investigates how colouring by conservation in Jalview can be used to deduce the locations of intermolecular interactions like salt bridges in a protein family. 📺: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1O34...
