Demo

These examples show how you could embed the MSAViewer into your page.

JSBin clustal JSBin large

Current sniper with different examples

display an MSA

basic MSA

Features

  • runs purely in the Browser
  • import files in format like FASTA, Clustal, ...
  • be interactive and receive Events
  • filter, sort, hide the sequences
  • display sequence features
  • extendable Views for your integration
  • customizable viewport
  • simplicity as design rule
  • export to fASTAb
  • generate the consenus seq
  • more to come ...

Use the MSAViewer

The following examples assume that the msa() constructor is available.

If you have loaded msa as a script in your web page with something like...

<script src="//cdn.bio.sh/msa/latest/msa.min.gz.js"></script>

... then congratulations! You are ready to go.

If you are using npm and are adding msa as a dependency, then you can use the following:

var msa = require("msa");

Import seqs

a) Directly import a url

var opts = {
  el: rootDiv,
  importURL: "./data/fer1.clustal",
};
var m = msa(opts);

-> JSBin example

b) Import your own sequences from a string

// your fasta file (advice: save it in a DOM node)
var fasta = ">seq1\n\
ACTG\n\
>seq2\n\
ACGG\n";

// parsed array of the sequences
var seqs =  msa.io.fasta.parse(fasta);

var m = msa({
     el: rootDiv,
     seqs: seqs
});
m.render();

-> JSBin Example

c) Asynchronously import seqs

var m = msa({
	el: rootDiv,
});
msa.io.clustal.read("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wilzbach/msa/master/test/dummy/samples/p53.clustalo.clustal", function(err, seqs){
	m.seqs.reset(seqs);
	m.render();
});

-> JSBin example

d) Import your sequences from the DOM

var fasta = document.getElementById("fasta-file").innerText;
var seqs = msa.io.fasta.parse(fasta);

var m = msa({
    el: rootDiv,
    seqs: seqs
});
m.render();

with the following data stored in your HTML page:

<pre style="display: none" id="fasta-file">
>seq1
ACTG
>seq2
ACGG</pre>

-> JSBin Example

Basic config parameters

  • bootstrapMenu: automagically show a menu
  • el: the root DOM element
  • importURL: when you want to import a file automagically
  • seqs: if you prefer to pass sequences as object

There also many other option - grouped into these categories. See below for more details.

  • column: hide columns
  • colorscheme: everything about a colorscheme
  • conf: basic configuration
  • vis: visual elements
  • visorder: ordering of the visual elements
  • zoomer: everything that is pixel-based

MSAViewer in Action

Are you using the MSAViewer? Don't hesistate to make a PR and let us know!

Change the colorscheme

Checkout this live example or edit.

var opts = {
  el: rootDiv,
  importURL: "./data/fer1.clustal",
  colorscheme: {"scheme": "hydro"}
};
var m = msa(opts);

Own colorscheme

var opts = {
  el: rootDiv,
  importURL: "./data/fer1.clustal",
  colorscheme: {"scheme": "hydro"}
};
var m = msa(opts);
m.g.colorscheme.addStaticScheme("own",{A: "orange", C: "red", G: "green", T: "blue"});
m.g.colorscheme.set("scheme", "own");

Have a look at the doc for more info.

Add features

Checkout this live example or edit.

var xhr = require("xhr");
var gffParser = require("biojs-io-gff");
var m = msa({el: rootDiv, importURL: "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wilzbach/msa/master/test/dummy/samples/p53.clustalo.clustal");

// add features
xhr("./data/fer1.gff3", function(err, request, body) {
  var features = gffParser.parseSeqs(body);
  m.seqs.addFeatures(features);
});

// or even more
xhr("./data/fer1.gff_jalview", function(err, request, body) {
  var features = gffParser.parseSeqs(body);
  m.seqs.addFeatures(features);
});

Update seqs

m.seqs.at(0).set("hidden", true) // hides the first seq
m.seqs.at(0).get("seq") // get raw seq
m.seqs.at(0).get("seqId") // get seqid
m.seqs.at(0).set("seq", "AAAA") // sets seq
m.seqs.add({seq: "AAA"});  // we add a new seq at the end
m.seqs.unshift({seq: "AAA"});  // we add a new seq at the beginning
m.seqs.pop() // remove and return last seq
m.seqs.shift() // remove and return first seq
m.seqs.length // nr
m.seqs.pluck("seqId") // ["id1", "id2", ..]
m.seqs.remove(m.seqs.at(2)) // remove seq2
m.seqs.getMaxLength() // 200
m.seqs.addFeatures()
m.seqs.removeAllFeatures()
m.seqs.setRef(m.seqs.at(1)) // sets the second seq as reference (default: first)
m.seqs.comparator = "seqId" // sort after seqId
m.seqs.sort() // apply our new comparator
m.seqs.comparator =  function(a,b){ return - a.get("seq").localeCompare(b.get("seq"))} // sort after the seq itself in descending order
m.seqs.sort()

Even more is possible.

Update selection

m.g.selcol.add(new msa.selection.rowsel({seqId: "f1"})); // row-based
m.g.selcol.add(new msa.selection.columnsel({xStart: 10, xEnd: 12})); // column-wise
m.g.selcol.add(new msa.selection.possel({xStart: 10, xEnd: 12, seqId: "f1"})); // union of row and column
m.g.selcol.reset([new msa.selection.rowsel({seqId: "f1"})]); // reset

m.g.selcol.getBlocksForRow() // array of all selected residues for a row
m.g.selcol.getAllColumnBlocks() // array with all selected columns
m.g.selcol.invertRow(@model.pluck "id")
m.g.selcol.invertCol([0,1,2])
m.g.selcol.reset() // remove the entire selection
m.g.user.set("searchText", search) // search

Jump to a column

m.g.zoomer.setLeftOffset(10) // jumps to column 10

Export and save

m.utils.export.saveAsFile(m, "all.fasta") // export seqs
m.utils.export.saveSelection(m, "selection.fasta")
m.utils.export.saveAnnots(m, "features.gff3")
m.utils.export.saveAsImg(m,"biojs-msa.png")

// share the seqs with the public = get a public link
m.utils.export.shareLink(m, function(link){
	window.open(link, '_blank')
})

// share via jalview
var url =  m.g.config.get('url')
if url.indexOf("localhost") || url === "dragimport"
    m.utils.export.publishWeb(m, function(link){
    	m.utils.export.openInJalview(link, m.g.colorscheme.get("scheme"))
    });
}else{
    m.utils.export.openInJalview(url, m.g.colorscheme.get("scheme"))
}

Update attributes

msa.g.vis.set("marker", false); // hides the markers
msa.g.zoomer.set("alignmentHeight", 500) // modifies the default height

Listen to attribute events

All classes

m.g.selcol.on("change", function(prev, new){

})

You can also listen to more specific events

m.g.vis.on("change:alignmentWidth", function(prev, new){

})

Listen to user interactions

msa.g.on("residue:click", function(data){ ... }):
msa.g.on("residue:mousein", function(data){ ... }):
msa.g.on("residue:mouseout", function(data){ ... }):

If you want to listen to mouse events, you need to set the flag: conf.registerMouseHover. There is a plethora of events that you can listen to

msa.g.on("row:click", function(data){ ... }):
msa.g.on("column:click", function(data){ ... }):
msa.g.on("meta:click", function(data){ ... }):
...

FAQ

Q: How can I define my own color scheme?

↝ play in JSBin ↝ read the documentation

Guidelines

  • KISS -> avoid komplexity
  • keep it modular
  • avoid boiler-plate code
  • avoid more than two args for public methods -> accepting a dictionary is more flexible
  • max. 200 lines per file (-> better organization)

Step 1) Setting up

git clone https://github.com/wilzbach/msa
cd msa
npm install
  • npm: You will need the npm package manager (and node) for this. On most distributions there is a package, look here

Step 2) Developing

In the root dir execute:

./w

You can browse the snippets at localhost:9090/snippets.

Compiling for the browser

For most cases using our CDN builds, is the best way to go. If you need to make some changes to the MSA, you can get a minified bundle in the folder dist with:

gulp build

Project structure

  • browser.js main file for browserify - defines the global namespace in the browser
  • css stylesheet folder (previously used for SASS)
  • gulpfile.js task definition file (for gulp
  • package.json npm config
  • examples short coding snippets that are run by sniper
  • src the main source code

Versioning & CDN

New MSA versions are released following semantic versioning. Starting from 1.0.3 git tags match the versions deployed on npm and our CDN. On our CDN we offer four different versions:

https://cdn.bio.sh/msa/1.0.3/msa.min.gz.js // static, won't change
https://cdn.bio.sh/msa/1.0/msa.min.gz.js // will be updated until a new minor version is released
https://cdn.bio.sh/msa/1/msa.min.gz.js // will be updated until a new major version is released
https://cdn.bio.sh/msa/latest/msa.min.gz.js // will be updated on every commit

If you use the MSAViewer in production, we recommend to lock the CDN version to an exact release and update from time to time.
