Dear IGV team,
Thanks for this nice repo. I am exploring ways of showing two types of DNA modifications on the view. My understanding (after exploring with Claude code) is that a mod that is not hard coded in the code is shown as a teal colour, and multiple mods are all given the same teal colour. I want to allow the user to set their own colours. I am preparing a pull request with Claude code but wanted your opinion first on this change as stated in CONTRIBUTING.md.
Here's how a user would configure it:
igv.createBrowser(div, {
tracks: [{
type: "alignment",
url: "my.bam",
colorBy: "basemod", // or "basemod2"
modificationColors: {
"m": "rgb(255, 128, 0)", // override 5mC (normally red)
"h": "rgb(0, 200, 100)", // override 5hmC (normally magenta)
"27552": "rgb(1, 1, 1)" // set color for a modification by ChEBI id
}
}]
})
A few notes:
- You only need to specify the modifications you want to override — anything not in the map falls through to the built-in colors
- Known modifications like m and h can be overridden, not just unknown ones
What do you think? The PR suggested by Claude is fairly short but I haven't tested if it works. I am attaching the diff file here. Thanks!
