Low memory footprint and high-performance rendering allow you to display any alignment in the blink of an eye. For your fast user experience a minified, gzipped version is deployed to a CDN.
Just link to our CDN file. For your convenience, the MSAViewer has prebuilt support for different file formats like FASTA or CLUSTAL.
Whether it is just a custom color scheme or a totally different view port. The MSAViewer was designed to be easily adaptable to your use case.
Hand-crafted with love from around the globe. To fit your taste we ship a plethora of predefined color schemes.
Using state-of-the-art technologies everything runs in the browser - you don't need to worry about a backend.
We don't want to break your website. CI tests are run on every commit.
Technologies like CoffeeScript or SASS make it easy to overview and understand the codebase.
Sponsored by Google's open source program the whole codebase is available freely on github for personal and commerical use. Pull requests are welcome.
You can combine the MSAViewer with any other BioJS 2.0 compliant web component.
Enjoy this short presentation.
Just include this JS file
<script src=//cdn.bio.sh/msa/1.0/msa.min.gz.js></script>
Multiple Sequence Alignment Viewer
MSAs help researchers to discover novel differences (or matching patterns) that appear in many sequences. The MSAViewer is a modular, reusable component to visualize large MSAs interactively on the web.
Do you have any questions or want to get involved in the MSA community?
This component wouldn't have been possible without these awesome people.
This project is a subproject of BioJS and started in the GSoC 2014.
