I need to visualize a sequence, with the ability to emphasize certain segments.
For example, take this sequence seq
:
seq = -----------------DTLCIGYHANNSTDTVDTVLEKNVTVTHSVNLLEDKHNGKLCK

The list of segments I want to emphasize: segments = {"AGSGIIISDTPVHDC", "AIDEITNKVNSVIEK", AKSFYKNLIWLVKKG}
.
I'm thinking that something that looks like this would work for the emphasis, where the black line is the length of the sequence, and the blue boxes are the segments:
To get start and ending positions of each segment, we can use StringPosition[seq, #] & /@ segments
.
Now I'm not sure which visualization tool would help me visualize this sequence and emphasize the segment using these start and end positions.
