ClustalW alignment web app

This is a web app that uses clustal to perform MSA. Backgound color is automatically set (ligth/dark) depending on the preference set of the users browser.

It can take as input:

• UNIPROT IDs (uses API to get sequences from uniprot)
• FASTA formated sequences pasted in the text field
• a file containing the FASTA formated sequences

Once the sequences are aligned, the user is promted to a page where he can see the output and download it.

To run server locally

• Create a conda environment and install the requirements.txt file (note, clustalo uses the conda channel bioconda)
• Inside the project folder run:

python manage.py runserver
