This document provides an overview of the Jalview 2.8.2 and JABA 2.1 software for protein and RNA alignment analysis. Key features include an interactive Java alignment viewer and editor, integrated structure viewers, and predictive annotation of secondary structure. Upcoming updates focus on consensus-based RNA structure prediction and utilizing 3D structural data for protein and RNA annotation directly in the alignment. The software continues to be developed and maintained by the Barton Group at the University of Dundee.
