Motivation:
Biological visualization is an important technique for researchers to make sense of complex biological data. Functional prediction and the discovery of novel proteins remain central objectives in biology, as they provide insights into molecular mechanisms with significant applications in health and disease. Visualizing sequence similarity search results and domain predictions is essential for exploring protein function, identifying conserved elements, and drawing meaningful connections between sequences, ultimately accelerating discovery.
Results:
The new website for the EMBL-EBI Job Dispatcher bioinformatics tools framework, was released in 2023. Along with improvements and new features, the website has since integrated interactive visualizations designed to aid researchers further and enrich the user experience. Here, we describe jdispatcher-viewers, a library for the interactive visualization of sequence similarity search results from BLAST and FASTA, and interactive visualizations of domain predictions and annotations provided by InterPro.
Availability And Implementation:
The jdispatcher-viewers library and documentation which includes a demo webpage are available from https://github.com/ebi-jdispatcher/jdispatcher-viewers. Interactive visualizations provided among the result pages of sequence similarity search tools in Job Dispatcher have been implemented using jdispatcher-viewers, and are available at https://www.ebi.ac.uk/jdispatcher/sss. The library is distributed under the Apache 2.0 license.
