Jim,
We had hoped to use DAS to expose our InterMine-based plant genomic
data in Jalview (once we invest the modest effort to build a DAS adaptor
for InterMine) but it sounds like we should rethink that. Is Sanger's
planned phase out of DAS support posted/discussed anywhere else? I
didn't see any notices to that effect at
http://www.sanger.ac.uk/resources/software/das/
thanks,

Dear jalview-discuss
I'm interested in finding out who uses Jalview's DAS sequence and
annotation tools.
DAS is the way in which Jalview discovers ENSEMBL and NCBI genome
sequence and annotation tracks. These are shown in the 'Sequence
Fetcher' database dialog, and also listed in the 'DAS Settings' tab of
the 'Sequence Feature Settings' panel in the Desktop.
The reason I ask is that the DAS infrastructure, which is mostly
maintained by the Sanger Centre in the UK, will no longer be supported
after May 2015. Up until that time, DAS services may well become
unreliable. If you rely on certain DAS services, please let us know so
we can look at alternative ways for Jalview to maintain access to those
services!
Hear from you soon!
Jim.
