Pfam alignment view in Pronto #76

Pronto is a great tool. It will be very useful to add a possibility to see the Pfam alignment (SEED and FULL) in a similar way as on the InterPro website.

Not going to happen.

Pfam alignments are already available in the InterPro website. And in general, web-based MSA viewers aren't so great, especially when dealing with large data sets. Belvu or Jalview do a much better job.

The Pfam alignments available at InterPro site are the public version, Pronto displays data related to the next/future release that as far as I can see can have significant changes not visible on the InterPro site. Jalview has a problem with Xquartz so doesn't run on codon. Jalview however has e web-based version https://www.jalview.org/jalview-js/ . On another note, the SEED alignments are never that big and this ones are the one that could be useful.
