st-seqviz 0.1.5

DNA, RNA, and protein sequence viewer

Streamlit SeqViz

Streamlit SeqViz 🧬 brings the powerful SeqViz DNA/RNA/protein viewer to Streamlit. It allows you to visualize and explore biological sequences interactively inside your Streamlit apps with support for annotations, primers, restriction sites, translations, and more.

Demo

Installation

pip install st-seqviz

Usage

import streamlit as st

from st_seqviz import SeqViz

sv = SeqViz(
    seq="TTGACGGCTAGCTCAGTCCTAGGTACAGTGCTAGC",
    name="J23100",
    annotations=[
        {"name": "promoter", "start": 0, "end": 34, "direction": 1, "color": "blue"}
    ],
)
