Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

jbrowse-plugin-hgb

ci

JBrowse2 plugin for displaying long-read alignments by hgb.

Screenshots

Prerequisites

  • Rust nightly (cargo)
  • Node.js

Getting Started

The input bam file needs to be attached MD tags by samtools calmd and indexed by samtools index.

  • Docker
docker run --rm -ti -p 9000:9000 -v `pwd`:/data 6thbridge/jbrowse2-hgb:master /data/<input.bam>
  • Singularity
singularity build jb2-hgb.sif docker://6thbridge/jbrowse2-hgb:master
singularity -s run jb2-hgb.sif <input.bam>

Access to http://localhost:9000/static/index.html.

Manual Deploy

STEP1: Serve HGB server

bash -x start_hgb_server.sh $NUM_OF_THREADS $LOCATION_OF_BAM
bash -x start_hgb_server.sh $NUM_OF_THREADS $LOCATION_OF_BAM 0.0.0.0:5000

STEP2: Start JBrowse2

The following command needs to run on another shell.

bash -x start_jbrowse_hgb.sh 
bash -x start_jbrowse_hgb.sh $HGB_SERVER_URL 38
bash -x start_jbrowse_hgb.sh $HGB_SERVER_URL 19

You can specify reference genome as the second argument as 38 or 19 (hg38 or hg19, respectively).

Usage in jbrowse-web

Add to the "plugins" of your JBrowse Web config. The unpkg CDN should be stable, or you can download the js file to your server

{
  "plugins": [
    {
      "name": "hgb",
      "url": "https://unpkg.com/jbrowse-plugin-hgb/dist/jbrowse-plugin-hgb.umd.production.min.js"
    }
  ]
}

This plugin is currently quite basic, and there is no mouseover interactivity or drawn labels on features

For use in jbrowse/react-linear-genome-view
