Can this function be used on DNA sequences

Great work, thanks for your contribution.

Can this function be used on DNA sequences? Visualizing a specific region of the genome also requires these functions.

Hey there,
Technically it is possible to use nightingale componets with DNA sequences, the components are agnostic if the sequence or features belong to a protein, DNA or RNA.
However, the challenges to represent DNA are different than proteins. As with DNA the length of the sequence is likely way longer when trying to display chromosomes or genomes, and therefor the amount of features can be much bigger.
Most of the components here are developed using SVG, and if the number of features is too big(e.g. displaying features for a full chromosome) the performance in the browser is affected and things like zooming and panning will be frustratingly slow.

But if your case is a gene with a few features to display, Nightingale component should be able to handle that scenario
