Jalview is a free, open-source bioinformatics application for sequence and structure alignment, analysis and visualization. It is widely used by molecular biologists, bioinformaticians and biochemistry researchers to align protein and nucleic acid sequences, view 3D protein structures, perform phylogenetic analysis, and annotate sequence features. The desktop app bundles a Java Virtual Machine with all necessary components to run on Windows, Linux and macOS, and automatically downloads the latest released version of Jalview when launched. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.

1 suggestionJalview has shipped a native Apple Silicon build since version 2.11.3.0, released in late 2023. The download page at jalview.org automatically detects your Mac's architecture and serves the correct installer — simply visit the macOS download page, download the latest DMG file, and drag the Jalview icon to Applications as you would for any new macOS app. If you prefer, you can also install or update via Homebrew using the command 'brew install jalview' (or 'brew upgrade jalview' if already installed). After upgrading to the native build, you will see noticeably better performance and battery life on Apple Silicon Macs compared to running the Intel version under Rosetta.
