Proksee Overview

Proksee makes it easy to go from sequence to publication-quality maps. Proksee projects can be started with a genome sequence, sequencing reads or a CGView.js JSON file. Once a project has been started, you will be taken to the Project Page where you can begin to annotate your genome and edit your map.

New Project

On the New Project page choose the tab for the type of data you have: Genome, Reads, or JSON. In addition, there are several examples.

New Project→Genome

Genome

A complete genome sequence in the Genbank, EMBL, or FASTA file formats. Sequences must be between 1,000 and 10 million bases long. The total number of contigs must be less than or equal to 1000. If you have a longer sequence that you would like to make into a map, send your sequence to Proksee Info. However, please note that longer sequence maps may be slow and difficult to work with.

An NCBI accession can be provided instead of a genome file. Accession IDs must be for complete GenBank records with sequence data.

Any features present in the GenBank or EMBL file will be automatically added to the map.

New Project→Reads

Reads

Raw sequencing reads can be provided as 1 or 2 FASTQ files. Each file can be optionally compressed and must be less than 1 GB. Only the following file extensions are allowed: fastq, gz, or zip.

To save space on the servers, uploaded read files will be deleted after the assembly is complete. A summary of the read files will be saved with the project for future reference.

New Project→JSON

JSON

Previously saved CGView.js JSON files can also be loaded. See Download - JSON for how to create these files.

New Project→Examples

Examples

There are several examples on the New Project page including a bacterial map, a plasmid and a map with contigs. Each example is run with a GenBank file using the accession ID indicated.

My Projects

The My Projects page shows tables of your known projects. There are 2 types of projects: Session and User.

My Projects→Session Projects

Session Projects

Session projects are created if you are not logged in. Anyone with the project ID (e.g. 121bc0d4-1b66-469c-a8c6-2aaf9ab9cadc) can access a session project. Session project IDs are stored locally and specifically with the client that started the project. So if you start a project on one browser (e.g. Chrome) it will not be automatically available on another browser (e.g. Safari).

Session projects are deleted 7 days after the Last Save Date. In addition, any jobs associated with a session project are deleted 7 days after they were started, regardless of the project Last Save Date. To save a project go to the project page, make a small change to the map and click Save Changes at the top of the page.

My Projects→User Projects

User Projects

User projects are created if you are logged in. User projects will be available on all devices and browsers as long as you are logged in. Unlike session projects, user projects can not be shared.

My Projects→Claiming Projects

Claiming Projects

Once you have an account, you can claim a project and add it your account. Go to My Projects on the browser/computer where the session project was created. Click Claim beside the project and it will be added to your user projects.

User Accounts

User account on Proksee are completely optional. One of the advantages of having an account are that your user projects will be easily available on other devices and browsers. In addition, your user projects will not be deleted after 7 days.

On your account page you can change your name, email and password. You can also completely delete your account and associated projects and jobs.

User Accounts→Storage Quota

Storage Quota

All user accounts come with 500 MB of storage. We may increase this quota over time as more resources become available.

User Accounts→User Menu

User Menu

When logged in, a User Menu will appear in the top-right of the page. This menu gives you a view of your current storage and the number of projects/jobs you own. There are also links here to logout as well as go to your account page.

Project Page

After a project is created you will be taken to the project page. This page shows your interactive Map and the Sidebar where many options and tools can be found. At the top of the page is the project name which can be edited in place.

Project Page→Saving Changes

Saving Changes

Proksee does not automatically save map changes to the server. When you make any changes to your map the Saved button will change to Save Changes. Click the button and your changes will sync to the server.

If you were to reload the project page before saving any changes, the previously saved version of your map will be loaded. This allows for a basic way to undo changes.

As a precaution, Proksee will warn you when you are about to leave the page without saving.

Project Page→Project Tabs

Project Tabs

Under the project name is a set of tabs. The About and Map tabs are always present. Additional Job Tabs can be added by clicking the expand button for a Job.

Project Page→Project Tabs→About Tab

See Responsive Design for how the Sidebar acts differently on smaller screens.

Sidebar Panels→Display

Sidebar Panels→Display→Tracks

Tracks

Tracks represent a set of features or a plot drawn on the map as one or more slots. Plot tracks are only drawn with one slot while feature tracks are drawn with 1, 2, 6 or n slots depending on the Separate Features By option:

Option	Slots	Description
None	1	All features are drawn on a single slot
Strand	2	Features are drawn separated by strand
Reading Frame	6	Features are drawn separated by reading frame
Type	n	Features are drawn separated by type
Legend	n	Features are drawn separated by legend

Track Features
Instead of explicitly stating which features are on a track, tracks describe the features they contain based on either their source, tags, or type. Features can have one type, one source and multiple tags. Use the Track Contents option to choose what method (e.g. source, tag, type) and what value(s) to use when selecting features for a track. For example:

Method	Values	Features selected for the track
type	CDS	All the features with type equal to CDS
source	card-1.1	All the features with source equal to card-1.1
tag	low	All the features with a tag equal to low
tag	low, med	All the features with a tag equal to low OR med

Track Buttons
	Add a new Track.
	Track is visible or not visible.
	Delete the Track. A dialog will provide options to delete features and/or legends that are exclusive to the track being deleted.

Track Properties
Name	The name of the track.
Position	The position of the track relative to the backbone: Both: the forwards strands/slots will be on the outside of the backbone while the reverse strands will be on the inside Inside: all the strands/slots will be on the inside of the backbone. Outside: all the strands/slots will be on the outside of the backbone.
Separate Features By	Method for separating features onto track slots: None: The features are not separated and all appear on 1 slot. Strand: The features will appear on 2 slots. One slot each for the forward and reverse strands. Reading Frame: The features will appear on 6 slots. One slot each for each reading frame. Type: The features will appear on n slots where n is the number of types. One slot each for each type. Slots are sorted so the most common type is first. Legend: The features will appear on n slots where n is the number of legends. One slot each for each legend. Slots are sorted so the most common legend is first.
Size Ratio	The size ratios all depend on each other. For example: If all the track ratios are the same then all the track slots will be the same width. If one track has a ratio of 2 and all the others are 1, then it will be 2 times wider than the others. If one track has a ratio of 2 and all the others are 0.5, then it will be 4 times wider than the others.
Track Contents	This track contains features with a source, type or tag equal to one of the provided values. See Track Features for details and examples.
Number of Features/Plot points	The number of features or plot points that this track contains. Clicking the count will take you to the Feature Panel.

Sidebar Panels→Display→Legend

Legend

The legend consists of the legend as a whole and a set of legend items. The legend (as well as captions) can be placed on the canvas or the map:

Legend/Caption Positions
Map	Items placed on the map are not static and move when the map is panned or zoomed. The map position is based on the Length Percent of the genome sequence (e.g. 50% would be at the map half way point) and the Offset is a distance from the map. Positive Offsets indicate a distance from the outside ring of the map while a negative Offset indicates a distance from the inner ring of the map.
Canvas	The canvas is static and can be thought of as the window through which the map is viewed. Items placed on the canvas do not move when the map is panned or zoomed. The canvas position can be quickly set by clicking one of the areas in the 9 rectangle grid (e.g. upper-left). Fine tuning of the position can be done with the X/Y Percent inputs.

Legend Buttons
	When the legend is positioned on the map, this button will move the map to show the legend. This button does not appear when positioned on the Canvas.
	Track is visible or not visible.

Legend Properties
Position	Where to place the legend. See Legend/Caption Positions for details. Canvas: Legend is static and does not move. Map: Legend moves with the map.
Anchor	The anchor point describes where the position attaches to the legend/caption bounding box.
Default Font	The default font to use for the legend items. Individual items can override this value. The alignment buttons will align the all the legend items: Left: the color swatches will be on the left Right: the color swatches will be on the right
Default Font Color	The default color to use for the legend items. Individual items can override this value.
Default Minimum Arc Length	The default minimum arc length to use for the legend items. Individual items can override this value. Features are drawn based on their length and therefore small features (e.g. 1 bp) can appear invisible on maps depending on the zoom level. By setting a minimum arc length, small features will be more visible and be darker on the map.
Background Color	The color to use for the legend background.

Sidebar Panels→Display→Legend→Legend Items

Legend Items

Legend items are associated with features or plots. Features and plots will be drawn using the legend item color. Features will also be drawn using the legend item decoration.

Log Card

Every job will have a Log Card. This is a close to real-time log of the job progress. If your job is stalled or has failed, the log may provide some answers.

Job Panel→Report Card

Report Card

Successfully completed jobs will have a Report Card which may have the following sections:

Results: a count of the feature found by the tool and a button to add them to the map.
Features Files: a list of files of interest with quick access buttons to view or download files. If a file is also used as the data source for a Data Card, a button to the Data Card will be available.
Helpful Links: Links to external web pages with information about the tool.
Citation: citation for the underlying software used in this tool. Please cite the software, if you use this tool for a publication.
Some jobs may have additional data tables or plots

Job Panel→Files Card

Files Card

When a job is finished (either complete or failed), the Files Card will be available. This card shows all the input and output files for a job in a File Tree. From here, individual files can be downloaded or viewed with the File Viewer.

Job Panel→Files Card→File Tree

File Tree

The File Tree lists all the job files. Folders can be open/closed by double clicking the row. Each row in the tree shows the name, kind (e.g. Text) and the size of the file or folder. For files, a button on the far right will download the file. Clicking on a file row will open it in the File Viewer. Multiple files can be selected by shift-clicking.

File Tree Properties
	Download this file.

Job Panel→Files Card→File Viewer

File Viewer

The File Viewer shows the selected file from the File Tree. If multiple files are selected, they can be quickly cycled through by clicking the and buttons.

The selected file will be displayed using the default kind/type for the file. The default kind is based on file extensions. File can be formatted differently by selecting a different format from the dropdown (e.g. text, code, csv, JSON, etc).

Some large files can cause issues when downloading to view them. To prevent this, only the first 100 KB of a file is downloaded. At the bottom of the viewer is a status bar which displays the number of lines and bytes downloaded. If the file is incomplete the status bar will have buttons to download More (ie. another 100 KB) or All (ie. the rest of the file). If the viewer stalls while viewing a large file, you may have to reload the page.

File Viewer Properties
	Cycles backward and forward through the selected files. Only available when multiple files are selected.
	Open the settings popup for the currently selected file type. This usually contains settings for fonts and other display options.
	Opens the file viewer full screen, hiding the file tree.
	Opens the file viewer to the bottom of the file tree.
	Opens the file viewer to the right of the file tree.

Job Panel→Data Cards

Data Cards

Data Cards are tool specific. They may be formatted data table using one of the output files as the source. They may also be convenient shortcuts to specific output files. The bottom of each Data Card will contain the path to the file used as a data source.

This section describes some common controls found throughout Proksee

Miscellaneous→Common Controls→Color Picker

Color Picker

The Color Picker provides an interface for choosing colors. Click on the colored square to bring up the picker. The bar on the right picks the hue from 0° (bottom) to 360° (top). The square area lets you set the saturation from left (0%) to right (100%) and brightness from bottom (0%) to top (100%). Directly below the large square is the opacity bar with the current opacity (0-100%) shown on the right.

Under the opacity bar are the Hex and RGB values for the current color and below that are a selection of color swatches. The swatches are paired so that the bottom swatch is a darker version of the top.

The last row of swatches are favorites. Click on the star to add or remove a favorite. Favorites are saved in the browser and will be available the next time you open the color picker.

The 2 squares in the top middle show the previous color (left) and the current color (right). To undo the current color, click on the previous color (left square).
The button in the top left switches modes between the HSV/RGB color picker and a selection of predefined color swatches.

Color Picker Tips

The R, G, and B labels can be dragged left and right to change the value. This is useful for fine tuning the color.
As a shortcut, the Hex input can take a variety of different color values (see examples below). After entering a value, hit Return or click outside the input to update the color.
- Hex code (with or without the #): #AAA, BCD, #A1B4C8, BB88CC
- rgb(a) strings: rgb(255, 0, 0), rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.5)
- Named colors (see list): red, blue, green, LightCoral, SteelBlue

Miscellaneous→Responsive Design

Responsive Design

Proksee has a responsive design that works equally well on computers, phones and tablets. On smaller screens, the sidebar will automatically open and close as needed. For example, clicking the button beside a feature in the sidebar will close the sidebar and show the map zoomed into the feature. Clicking a feature on the map will open the sidebar, select the Feature Panel, and show the clicked feature.

To quickly open and close the sidebar, use the toggle strip on the left side of the sidebar. The toggle strip has a chevron on it. Chevrons can also be found in Job Tabs to shrink/expand areas.
