Feature Request: Possibility to enter a key value when using "sequence search track"

[Rhinogradentia]

Hi,

while I was using the "sequence search track" feature a lot lately I thought it would be a huge relief if I could be able to enter a track-key in the pop-up for the search. The sequence can be quite long and will cover the track otherwise and doing it manually afterward is quite cumbersome and time-consuming.

Thanks a lot in advance
Best,
Nadine

This was also requested here #1417

You also have to be careful with long searches using this plugin
#833

I would recommend possibly alternatives to the sequence search track as it does have downsides listed in 833 but if it is sufficient for you we could consider adding this feature

Hi Colin,

thank you for your answer. I'm aware that longer sequences sometimes make problems with the sequence search.
Nonetheless, this would be really helpful - even for shorter sequences.

So, if it isn't very laborious I would be really glad for this to be possible.

Best,
Nadine

Should be fixed on the dev branch of this repo, since indeed it was not too bad. Just wanted to make sure you knew the limitations

If you want to create your own build

git clone https://github.com/GMOD/jbrowse
cd jbrowse
yarn
yarn build

Then the dist folder will contain the build

Thank you very much - this is great!

Hi Colin,

I'm sorry, but I'm stuck a little bit with this - what do I have to do once yarn build created the js files? Do I have to move them somewhere?

The dist directory contains the following after running 'yarn build':

⇒  ls dist 
0.bundle.js           11.bundle.js          14.bundle.js          3.bundle.js           6.bundle.js           9.bundle.js           main.bundle.js
1.bundle.js           12.bundle.js          15.bundle.js          4.bundle.js           7.bundle.js           browser.bundle.js     run_jasmine.bundle.js
10.bundle.js          13.bundle.js          2.bundle.js           5.bundle.js           8.bundle.js           dojo

Thank you a lot in advance.
Best,

@Rhinogradentia it's a little funky, I guess my general thing for doing a proper build would be

make -f build/Makefile release-min

This would generate a zip release like the ones we upload

Note that this requires DateTime and Text::Markdown from cpan so it's a little tricky but ya. I ran this process and here is the latest dev branch

JBrowse-1.16.11-alpha.0.zip
This build above is from commit 99e4bab and includes the regexsequencesearch tracklabel option

Great! Thank you a lot.
