Demo

These examples show how you could embed the MSAViewer into your page.
Current sniper with different examples
#### display an 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 ...
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...`
... 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");
#### a) Directly import a url
`
var opts = {
el: rootDiv,
importURL: "./data/fer1.clustal",
};
var m = msa(opts);
#### b) Import your own seqs
`
var m = msa({
el: rootDiv,
seqs: msa.utils.seqgen.genConservedSequences(10,30, "ACGT-"); // an array of seq files
});
m.render()
#### 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();
});
* bootstrapMenu: automagically show a menuel
* : the root DOM elementimportURL
* : when you want to import a file automagicallyseqs
* : if you prefer to pass sequences as object
There also many other option - grouped into these categories. See below for more details.
* column: hide columnscolorscheme
* : everything about a colorschemeconf
* : basic configurationvis
* : visual elementsvisorder
* : ordering of the visual elementszoomer
* : everything that is pixel-based

All classes

`
You can also listen to more specific events
`
m.g.vis.on("change:alignmentWidth", function(prev, new){
})
`
`
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
-----------------
`bash`
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
Package list
-----------
Project structure
------------------
* browser.js main file for browserify - defines the global namespace in the browsercss
* stylesheet folder (previously used for SASS)gulpfile.js
* task definition file (for gulppackage.json
* npm configexamples
* short coding snippets that are run by sniper
* the main source code
