Hi Alessandra.

It's probably better to discuss off list - since we're getting into details of your program, but I suspect you might be most interested in visualising secondary structure as sequence features on the alignment. One way to do this would be to prepare a GFF file containing all Uniprot secondary structure annotation and add a '-features <path to uniprot gff>' command line argument (see http://www.jalview.org/help/html/features/featuresFormat.html for how to add colour/shading specifications for features).

There are also web services that Jalview can access (either Uniprot directly or DAS services)but since you are running a server you may not want Jalview to be querying web services to retrieve annotation.

Hello Jim,
thank you for your explanations! Now I am able to display consensus logo.
In regard to secondary structures, i don't have neither PDB files nor secondary structure annotations..... Since for the moment our program aligns all protein sequences (selected for a certain modification) it can found on a web site, we have not thought to include secondary structure information, and we thought this was something "automatic" for jalview (to find in web secondary structure). Anyway, we are thinking how to modify our program to include secondary structure. As soon as we will have either PDB or annotation I think I will come back to you.....

In the meanwhile, thank you again.

    You're correct, though you may also need some additional data:
    since you
    can only display secondary structure annotation if you actually have
    some secondary structure information for sequences. Jalview can
    extract
    those data automatically from 3D structure, but to do that you'll need
    to have the PDB files available for your sequences. Alternately,
    if you
    have secondary structure annotation, you could turn them into Jalview
    annotation files. Which do you prefer here ?

    Modifying the properties to get the layout/visualisations you need for
    batch mode.
    The easiest way to do this is to launch Jalview in interactive
    mode with
    the '-props' argument pointing to a copy of your current jalview
    properties file. Then configure the default annotation options via
    Tools->Preferences so that consensus sequence logos are displayed
    automatically.

    For what you want, though - the relevant property line for showing
    consensus logos is:
    SHOW_CONSENSUS_LOGO=true

    Let me know what you want to do about secondary structure
    annotation...
    if you have annotation available it might be easiest to create an
    importer with a groovy script.
    Jim.
