Hi Fei.

I'm still not absolutely sure what you are after - groups are temporary in that they're alignment annotation, and the user can delete any annotation on an alignment view, if they want (of course, you could hack jalview to disable the 'remove groups' menu option, ..).

What do you need ? Are you interested in highlighting ranges based on alignment coordinates or according to ranges on specific sequences (e.g. conserved secondary structure), for instance. Some example data would help here :)

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the suggestion.

"you can create a group on the alignment, which is rendered as a box around a set of sequences in a range of columns." This box is temporary right? I want a box that will "highlight" a range (or multiple boxes for multiple ranges), not really changing the coloring of alignment. But if the color of the border can be changed that will be great.

        Hi all, is there anyway to display DSSP with MSA if one of the
        seq has
        a known structure (pdb from RCSB or customized pdb)? I tried
        Jpred 2nd
        structure, but it's way off from the real structure.

    There isn't a direct way in v2.7 to run DSSP over the associated
    structure to annotate sequences in the alignment, but there is
    work in progress that will address this in the next series of
    releases. The relevant bug is
    http://issues.jalview.org/browse/JAL-674


        Also if there a way to highlight or "box" certain range (saying,
        alignment position 50-100)?

    Not sure what you mean - you can create a group on the alignment,
    which is rendered as a box around a set of sequences in a range of
    columns.

    To create a group interactively, select columns 50-100, right
    click on the selected region in the alignment area, follow the
    submenus Edit->Group->.. and pick one of the options to create a
    group.

    Alternately, you could import an annotation file if you are
    generating groups from your program. Take a look at the
    documentation here:
    http://www.jalview.org/help/html/features/annotationsFormat.html
