SequenceViewer Properties

Our recommended IDE for writing Dash apps is Dash Enterprise's Data Science Workspaces, which has typeahead support for Dash Component Properties. Find out if your company is using Dash Enterprise.

id (character; optional): The ID used to identify this component in Dash callbacks.

sequence (character; default '-'): The amino acid sequence that will be displayed.

showLineNumbers (logical; default TRUE): The option of whether or not to display line numbers.

wrapAminoAcids (logical; default TRUE): The option of whether or not to display the list of amino acids as broken up into separate lines of a fixed length set by charsPerLine.

charsPerLine (numeric; default 40): The number of amino acids that will display per line.

toolbar (logical; default FALSE): The option of whether or not to display a toolbar at the top that allows the user to choose the number of letters per line.

search (logical; default TRUE): The option of whether or not to include a search bar in the header. This supports regex.

title (character; default ''): A string that displays at the top of the component.

sequenceMaxHeight (character; default '400px'): The maximum height of the sequence.

badge (logical; default TRUE): The option of whether or not to display a badge showing the amino acid count at the top of the component beside the title.

selection (optional): A highlighted section of the sequence; the color of the highlight can also be defined. Takes a list of format [min, max, color] where min is a number that represents the starting index of the selection, max is a number that represents the stopping index of the selection, and color is a string that defines the highlight color. Cannot be used at the same time as coverage.

coverage (list where each item is a named list; optional): A coverage of the entire sequence; each section of the sequence can have its own text color, background color, tooltip (on hover), and an optional underscore. The props start and end represent the beginning and terminating indices of the section in question. Cannot be used at the same time as selection.

coverage is a list where each item is a named list with keys:

legend is a list where each item is a named list with keys:

  • name (character; optional)

  • underscore (logical; optional)

coverageClicked (numeric; optional): Contains the index of the section that was clicked last in the coverage list supplied.

mouseSelection (named list; optional): Contains information about the subsequence selected by the mouse. Start and end refer to the initial and final indices, respectively, of the subsequence, and "selection" contains the string that is selected.

mouseSelection is a named list with keys:

  • end (numeric; optional)

  • selection (character; optional)

  • start (numeric; optional)

subpartSelected (list where each item is a named list; optional): A list of the subparts selected using the "search" function or the "selection" property.

subpartSelected is a list where each item is a named list with keys:

  • end (numeric; optional)

  • sequence (character; optional)

  • start (numeric; optional)

loading_state (named list; optional): Object that holds the loading state object coming from dash-renderer.
