## About

Biological Sequence & Alignment Viewer helps you inspect, analyze, safely edit, and compare FASTA, GenBank, EMBL, FASTQ, multiple sequence alignments, Sanger ABIF/SCF traces, and supported SnapGene DNA files. Navigate linear or circular records, manage annotations, translate with the right genetic code, find ORFs, explore primers and restriction digests, inspect measured chromatogram signals, align or edit copies, build graphical guide trees, load mapped variant/read evidence, export reproducible artifacts, restore sessions, and ask follow-up questions grounded in authoritative live viewer state. Unsupported binary revisions and source metadata are reported explicitly.

## Install

1. **Add it in ChatGPT** Open Plugins in the ChatGPT sidebar (web or desktop), search for “Biological Sequence & Alignment Viewer” and select +. You'll be asked to sign in to any connected service on first use. Then type @ in a chat to call it.

## Disconnect or uninstall

1. **In ChatGPT** Disconnect an account in Settings → Apps or Plugins. To remove the plugin itself, open Biological Sequence & Alignment Viewer in the Plugin Directory and select Uninstall plugin. Uninstalling can disconnect every account connected through it, and plugins your workspace installs may not offer the option.

2. **In Codex** Run /plugins in the Codex CLI, select the plugin and uninstall it, or press Space to turn it off.

> Runs locally: needs the ChatGPT desktop app or Codex with local execution enabled.

## Skills

- **biological-sequence-viewer**: Open, inspect, analyze, safely edit copies of, and export local biological sequences and alignments in Codex's interactive workbench. Use for FASTA/FASTQ, GenBank/EMBL, MSA formats, ABIF/SCF chromatograms, SnapGene DNA, annotations, variants, or regional read evidence.

## Example prompts

- "Fetch ENA DRR037765 first 500 reads to active workspace; open and report live length range, GC, Q30, and subset provenance"
- "Fetch UniProt P01116/P01111/P01112 alignment; map conserved motifs to KRAS, compute distances/tree, publish Newick to workspace"
- "Fetch NCBI NC_001416.1 to active workspace; open it, map cI to OR1–OR3, and translate cI with code 11"
