MSA figures #10

Hi, Very nice and time saving tool. Is it also possible to do a Multiple Sequence Alignement (MSA) figure? I guess it would be a derivative of the figure for alignments with BAM files?

Hi,

Unfortunately, figeno does not support MSA, and I currently have no plan to implement it. I hope the way I wrote FIGENO: FIGure GENerator for GENOmics as a MSA in the readme is not too misleading. The main problem is that figeno displays data along genomic coordinates, whereas in a MSA the sequences are aligned to each other, not to a reference genome, so this would not really fit with figeno. Also, the existing tool pyMSAviz that you show already looks very good and I don't know how I could improve upon it.

OK. Thanks for the quick response
