[Question] Is there a way to add additional metadata columns to MMseqs2-App browser output?

jolespin opened this issue · comments

I've built a custom database that I'm launching with MMseqs2-App. However, the protein identifiers are just hash identifiers so aren't informative for human readability. I have metadata associated with each of the target sequences in the MMseqs2 database.

Is there any way I can add these additional metadata columns to the MMseqs2 browser table?

Sorry for not answering this. It's quite difficult to add additional columns, involving steps both in the frontend and backend.

The easiest might be to set up your own API endpoint and fix the name in the frontend only, e.g. here:
