Hello again, If you get the same error for both programs, it has probably something to do with the configuration of Java Web Start or your computer. From your error I have the impression that it has something to with you network connection. Please make sure that your firewall allows traffic from Java to load the required jar files. Can you get more information about the error? Artemini was tested both with Java 1.5 and 1.6, so the version should be no problem. kind regards, Thomas Claire Gachon schreef:

Hi Thomas, thanks for your swift answer.

1) View alignment: I don't know what goes wrong, but I tried again with Esi0009_0001 and Esi0009_0004: I just get this message

2) I have now tried Artemini, and it gives me the same kind of error message as above An error occurred while launching/running the application.

Title: Artemini: Genome Visualization and Annotation Vendor: VIB :: Plant Systems Biology :: Bioinformatics :: Thomas Abeel Category: Download Error

Unable to load resource: http://bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be/webtools/artemini/artemini-2.11.jar

Could it be that somethign is wrong with my version of Java Web start?

Hello Claire,

...

_1) View alignment:_ when I click on the button, Java web Start gets launched, "Checking for latest version" then I get this message:

Java Web start: Download Error Unable to launch AlignView: a Sequence Alignment Viewer.

Details: An error occurred while launching/running the application.

Title: AlignView: A Sequence Alignment Viewer Vendor: VIB :: Plant Systems Biology :: Thomas Abeel Category: Download Error

Unable to load resource: http://bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be/webtools/alignview/alignview-0.6.jar Which steps should I take to reproduce this error? I have just now tried to view the aligment for Esi0009_0001 and I encountered no problems.

...

_2) ESTs: _EST is incompatible with the predicted model: is there any way to retrieve easily ESTs sequences from the annotation page, in order to check what is wrong with them (or the gene prediction? Should I do it with Artemis (see below)?

_3) Artemis_: I have tried to install it on my computer (PC with Windows). So far I have downloaded the file artemis.jar. My Java version is 1.5.0_08 When I double-click on it, I get the following message: Java Virtual Machine Launcher : Invalid or corrupt jar file c:\Program files\artemis.jar

Can you help?

You should not download the artemis.jar file. The Artemis version within the BOGAS platform, called Artemini, is modified from the original Artemis program. This is again a Java Webstart Application. To launch Artemini for a locus, you can select 'Modify using Artemini' under the header 'Gene Structure' on the page that shows after you click the 'Modify This record' button.

kind regards, Thomas
