SUMMARY: The Feature-Viewer is a lightweight library for the visualization of biological data mapped to a protein or nucleotide sequence. It is designed for ease of use while allowing for a full customization. The library is already used by several biological data resources and allows intuitive visual mapping of a full spectra of sequence features for different usages. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: The Feature-Viewer is open source, compatible with state-of-the-art development technologies and responsive, also for mobile viewing. Documentation and usage examples are available online.

SUMMARY: The neXtProt peptide uniqueness checker allows scientists to define which peptides can be used to validate the existence of human proteins, i.e. map uniquely versus multiply to human protein sequences taking into account isobaric substitutions, alternative splicing and single amino acid variants. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: The pepx program is available at https://github.com/calipho-sib/pepx and can be launched from the command line or through a cgi web interface. Indexing requires a sequence file in FASTA format. The peptide uniqueness checker tool is freely available on the web at https://www.nextprot.org/tools/peptide-uniqueness-checker and from the neXtProt API at https://api.nextprot.org/.
