🔨 Installation

The released version from Bioconductor

if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly=TRUE))
    install.packages("BiocManager")
## BiocManager::install("BiocUpgrade") ## you may need this
BiocManager::install("ggmsa")

Alternatively, you can grab the development version from github using devtools:

if (!requireNamespace("devtools", quietly=TRUE))
    install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("YuLab-SMU/ggmsa")

💡 Quick Example

library(ggmsa)
protein_sequences <- system.file("extdata", "sample.fasta", package = "ggmsa")
ggmsa(protein_sequences, start = 221, end = 280, char_width = 0.5, seq_name = TRUE) + geom_seqlogo() + geom_msaBar()
