+
5
+ ## [Unreleased]
6
+
7
+ ### Added
8
+
9
+ - **Feature deletion** — press `Delete` to remove the selected feature (annotation only,
10
+ sequence is untouched); fully undo/redo-able with `Ctrl+Z` / `Ctrl+Shift+Z`.
11
+
12
+ - **Toggleable linear map view** — press `v` to switch the circular map panel between
13
+ circular and horizontal linear views. Linear view uses the same braille-pixel rendering
14
+ with per-strand feature bars, arrowheads, lane stacking, and feature labels.
15
+
16
+ - **Strand-aware DNA sequence panel layout** — forward-strand features always appear
17
+ *above* the DNA sequence line; reverse-strand features always appear *below*, making
18
+ strand identity immediately apparent. Overlapping features on the same strand stack
19
+ into additional lanes on their respective side.
20
+
21
+ - **Braille feature bars in sequence panel** — annotation bars now use solid braille
22
+ block characters (`⣿`) matching the aesthetic of the map viewer, with `▶`/`◀`
23
+ arrowheads at the true start/end of each feature.
24
+
25
+ - **Single-bp feature triangles** — features that are one base-pair wide render as `▼`
26
+ (above DNA) or `▲` (below DNA), pointing inward toward the sequence line.
27
+
28
+ - **Label-above / label-below layout** — feature names appear outside the bar (above the
29
+ bar for forward features, below for reverse), keeping the braille bar itself clean.
30
+ Multiple non-overlapping features share a single horizontal row pair.
31
+
32
+ - **Feature connector lines** (`l` key toggle) — draws a `┊` connector between each
33
+ feature label and its braille bar in the sequence panel, and a dotted radial leader
34
+ line from the arc to the label in the circular map. Both panels respond to the same
35
+ toggle.
36
+
37
+ - **Full NEB restriction enzyme catalog** — ~200 enzymes from New England Biolabs,
38
+ including Type IIS (BsaI, BsmBI, BbsI, …) with non-palindromic cut sites. Each hit
39
+ is visualized as two distinct overlays:
40
+ - **Recognition sequence bar** (`resite`) — thin braille arc outside the backbone for
41
+ forward-strand hits, inside for reverse-strand hits; same strand-above/below layout
42
+ in the sequence panel.
43
+ - **Cut site marker** (`recut`) — `↓` (forward) or `↑` (reverse) arrow in the
44
+ sequence panel; radial `┼` tick on the circular and linear map at the exact cut
45
+ position. Type IIS cut sites appear displaced from the recognition sequence as
46
+ expected.
47
+ - Recognition sequence IUPAC codes (R, Y, W, S, M, K, B, D, H, V, N) are handled
48
+ via regex; both strands are scanned. Enzyme labels appear in the circular map
49
+ alongside regular feature labels using the same proximity placement algorithm.
50
+
51
+ - **Circular map: inside tick marks** — bp graduation marks and labels now sit *inside*
52
+ the backbone ring rather than outside, keeping the outer ring clean for feature labels.
53
+ Two constants (`TICK_DR_MARK`, `TICK_DR_LABEL`) control the inset depth and scale
54
+ automatically with the `,` / `.` aspect-ratio keys.
55
+
56
+ - **Circular map: full-length feature labels** — removed the 16-character truncation;
57
+ labels now display their full name.
58
+
59
+ - **Circular map: proximity label placement** — labels are placed as close to the arc as
60
+ possible, greedy-stepping radially outward only when a label would overlap an
61
+ already-placed one. `LABEL_DR_MIN` (default `9`) sets the minimum clearance.
62
+
63
+ - **Default library entry** — MW463917.1 (pACYC184) is fetched and added to the library
64
+ automatically on first launch. The NCBI fetch dialog pre-fills with this accession.

+

68
+ ## [0.1.0] — 2026-03-23

+ ![SpliceCraft screenshot](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Binomica-Labs/SpliceCraft/master/screenshot.jpg)
76
+
77
+ A terminal-based circular plasmid map viewer, sequence editor, **primer design
78
+ workbench**, and **Golden Braid parts domesticator** — rendered entirely in your
79
+ shell. Fetch any GenBank record by accession, load local files, annotate features
80
+ with pLannotate, design diagnostic / cloning / Golden Braid primers with Primer3,
81
+ and edit sequences — without ever leaving the terminal.
82
+
83
+ ---
84
+
85
+ ## Features
86
+
87
+ ### Core visualization & editing
88
+ - **Braille dot-matrix circular map** — plasmids rendered as crisp Unicode braille
89
+ rings with per-strand feature arcs, directional arrowheads, and proximity-placed
90
+ labels
91
+ - **Linear map view** — toggle with `v` for a horizontal strip layout
92
+ - **Dithered sequence panel** — per-base DNA viewer with feature bars, restriction
93
+ site overlays, and double-stranded display
94
+ - **Live NCBI fetch** — pull any GenBank record by accession number on demand
95
+ - **Local file support** — open `.gb` / `.gbk` files directly from disk
96
+ - **Free rotation** — spin the origin left or right with `[` / `]`
97
+ - **Restriction enzyme overlay** — 200+ NEB enzymes including Type IIS
98
+ (BsaI, BsmBI, BbsI, SapI) with visible recognition arcs + cut markers
99
+
100
+ ### Libraries (all persist to JSON)
101
+ - **Plasmid library** — SnapGene-style collection, auto-saves on import, survives
102
+ restarts, supports rename and handslip-protected delete
103
+ - **Parts Bin** — Golden Braid L0 parts catalog with user-domesticated parts
104
+ including sequences and primer pairs
105
+ - **Primer library** — all designed primers with Tm, length, date, status
106
+ (Designed / Ordered / Validated), multi-select for batch operations
107
+
108
+ ### Primer design (Primer3)
109
+ - **Detection primers** — diagnostic PCR; Primer3 picks the ideal pair within
110
+ a selected region, 450-550 bp product by default (configurable)
111
+ - **Cloning primers** — RE-site tails + GCGC padding; 30+ common enzymes or
112
+ type a custom recognition sequence
113
+ - **Golden Braid primers** — BsaI domestication for all L0 positions
114
+ (Promoter, 5' UTR, CDS, CDS-NS, C-tag, Terminator)
115
+ - **Generic primers** — simple binding primers, no tails
116
+ - Primers can be added to the plasmid map as `primer_bind` features
117
+ - Scrollable `TextArea` for custom sequence input; highlighted text = target
118
+
119
+ ### Annotation
120
+ - **pLannotate integration** — press `Shift+A` (or use the `◈` library button)
121
+ to auto-annotate a plasmid against pLannotate's curated feature database.
122
+ Optional — see install notes below
123
+
124
+ ### Feature operations
125
+ - **Feature sidebar** — click a row to highlight on map; click the map to
126
+ select the feature under the cursor
127
+ - **Undo/redo** — 50-deep snapshot stack for all sequence edits
128
+ - **Delete protection** — focus-aware Delete key; confirmation modal (default
129
+ focus = No) for library entries
130
+ - **Clipboard** — OSC-52 copy works in Windows Terminal, iTerm2, modern WSL
131
+
132
+ ### Data safety
133
+ - **Atomic saves** — all JSON files written via tempfile + `os.replace`
134
+ - **Automatic backups** — every save writes `*.json.bak` before overwriting
135
+ - **Corrupt-file recovery** — missing files don't crash; corrupt files auto-
136
+ restore from `.bak` with a warning notification on startup
137
+
138
+ ---
139
+
140
+ ## Installation
141
+
142
+ Requires **Python 3.10+**.
143
+
144
+ ### From PyPI (recommended)
145
+
146
+ ```bash
147
+ pip install splicecraft
148
+ splicecraft # empty canvas
149
+ splicecraft L09137 # fetch pUC19 from NCBI
150
+ splicecraft myplasmid.gb # open a local GenBank file
151
+ ```
152
+
153
+ All required dependencies (`textual`, `biopython`, `primer3-py`, `platformdirs`)
154
+ are pulled in automatically. User data (library, parts bin, primers) lives in
155
+ the platform-appropriate data directory:
156
+
157
+ | Platform | Path |
158
+ |---|---|
159
+ | Linux | `~/.local/share/splicecraft/` |
160
+ | macOS | `~/Library/Application Support/splicecraft/` |
161
+ | Windows | `%APPDATA%\splicecraft\` |
162
+
163
+ Override with `SPLICECRAFT_DATA_DIR=/path/to/dir splicecraft`.
164
+
165
+ ### From source
166
+
167
+ ```bash
168
+ git clone https://github.com/Binomica-Labs/SpliceCraft.git
169
+ cd SpliceCraft
170
+ pip install -e .
171
+ ```
172
+
173
+ ### Optional dependencies
174
+
175
+ **pLannotate** (for automatic plasmid annotation via `Shift+A`) — requires conda:
176
+
177
+ ```bash
178
+ conda create -n plannotate -c conda-forge -c bioconda plannotate
179
+ conda activate plannotate
180
+ plannotate setupdb # one-time ~500 MB BLAST database download
181
+ # then run SpliceCraft from the same conda env
182
+ ```
183
+
184
+ SpliceCraft runs fine without pLannotate — the annotation feature just
185
+ notifies the user how to install it if pressed.
186
+
187
+ ---
188
+
189
+ ## Usage
190
+
191
+ ```bash
192
+ # After pip install:
193
+ splicecraft # empty canvas
194
+ splicecraft L09137 # fetch pUC19 from NCBI on launch
195
+ splicecraft myplasmid.gb # open a local GenBank file
196
+ splicecraft --version # print version
197
+ splicecraft --help # quick usage hint
198
+ ```
199
+
200
+ If running from a git clone (`pip install -e .`), the same commands work;
201
+ you can also still run `python3 splicecraft.py` directly.

281
+
282
+ ## Data files
283
+
284
+ All user data persists as human-readable JSON in the repo directory:
285
+
286
+ | File | Purpose |
287
+ |-----------------------|---------------------------------------------|
288
+ | `plasmid_library.json`| Saved plasmid collection (GenBank + metadata) |
289
+ | `parts_bin.json` | User-domesticated Golden Braid parts |
290
+ | `primers.json` | Designed primer library |
291
+ | `*.json.bak` | Automatic backup — written before each save |
292
+
293
+ These files are in `.gitignore` — they're user-local data, not repo content.
294
+ A manual backup rotation happens on every save so accidental data loss is
295
+ always recoverable via the `.bak` file.
296
+
297

298
+

22
+ A terminal-based circular plasmid map viewer, sequence editor, **primer design
23
+ workbench**, and **Golden Braid parts domesticator** — rendered entirely in your
24
+ shell. Fetch any GenBank record by accession, load local files, annotate features
25
+ with pLannotate, design diagnostic / cloning / Golden Braid primers with Primer3,
26
+ and edit sequences — without ever leaving the terminal.
27
+

29
+
30
+ ## Features
31
+
32
+ ### Core visualization & editing
33
+ - **Braille dot-matrix circular map** — plasmids rendered as crisp Unicode braille
34
+ rings with per-strand feature arcs, directional arrowheads, and proximity-placed
35
+ labels
36
+ - **Linear map view** — toggle with `v` for a horizontal strip layout
37
+ - **Dithered sequence panel** — per-base DNA viewer with feature bars, restriction
38
+ site overlays, and double-stranded display
39
+ - **Live NCBI fetch** — pull any GenBank record by accession number on demand
40
+ - **Local file support** — open `.gb` / `.gbk` files directly from disk
41
+ - **Free rotation** — spin the origin left or right with `[` / `]`
42
+ - **Restriction enzyme overlay** — 200+ NEB enzymes including Type IIS
43
+ (BsaI, BsmBI, BbsI, SapI) with visible recognition arcs + cut markers
44
+
45
+ ### Libraries (all persist to JSON)
46
+ - **Plasmid library** — SnapGene-style collection, auto-saves on import, survives
47
+ restarts, supports rename and handslip-protected delete
48
+ - **Parts Bin** — Golden Braid L0 parts catalog with user-domesticated parts
49
+ including sequences and primer pairs
50
+ - **Primer library** — all designed primers with Tm, length, date, status
51
+ (Designed / Ordered / Validated), multi-select for batch operations
52
+
53
+ ### Primer design (Primer3)
54
+ - **Detection primers** — diagnostic PCR; Primer3 picks the ideal pair within
55
+ a selected region, 450-550 bp product by default (configurable)
56
+ - **Cloning primers** — RE-site tails + GCGC padding; 30+ common enzymes or
57
+ type a custom recognition sequence
58
+ - **Golden Braid primers** — BsaI domestication for all L0 positions
59
+ (Promoter, 5' UTR, CDS, CDS-NS, C-tag, Terminator)
60
+ - **Generic primers** — simple binding primers, no tails
61
+ - Primers can be added to the plasmid map as `primer_bind` features
62
+ - Scrollable `TextArea` for custom sequence input; highlighted text = target
63
+
64
+ ### Annotation
65
+ - **pLannotate integration** — press `Shift+A` (or use the `◈` library button)
66
+ to auto-annotate a plasmid against pLannotate's curated feature database.
67
+ Optional — see install notes below
68
+
69
+ ### Feature operations
70
+ - **Feature sidebar** — click a row to highlight on map; click the map to
71
+ select the feature under the cursor
72
+ - **Undo/redo** — 50-deep snapshot stack for all sequence edits
73
+ - **Delete protection** — focus-aware Delete key; confirmation modal (default
74
+ focus = No) for library entries
75
+ - **Clipboard** — OSC-52 copy works in Windows Terminal, iTerm2, modern WSL
76
+
77
+ ### Data safety
78
+ - **Atomic saves** — all JSON files written via tempfile + `os.replace`
79
+ - **Automatic backups** — every save writes `*.json.bak` before overwriting
80
+ - **Corrupt-file recovery** — missing files don't crash; corrupt files auto-
81
+ restore from `.bak` with a warning notification on startup
82
+
83
+ ---
84
+
85
+ ## Installation
86
+
87
+ Requires **Python 3.10+**.
88
+
89
+ ### From PyPI (recommended)
90
+
91
+ ```bash
92
+ pip install splicecraft
93
+ splicecraft # empty canvas
94
+ splicecraft L09137 # fetch pUC19 from NCBI
95
+ splicecraft myplasmid.gb # open a local GenBank file
96
+ ```
97
+
98
+ All required dependencies (`textual`, `biopython`, `primer3-py`, `platformdirs`)
99
+ are pulled in automatically. User data (library, parts bin, primers) lives in
100
+ the platform-appropriate data directory:
101
+
102
+ | Platform | Path |
103
+ |---|---|
104
+ | Linux | `~/.local/share/splicecraft/` |
105
+ | macOS | `~/Library/Application Support/splicecraft/` |
106
+ | Windows | `%APPDATA%\splicecraft\` |
107
+
108
+ Override with `SPLICECRAFT_DATA_DIR=/path/to/dir splicecraft`.
109
+
110
+ ### From source
111
+
112
+ ```bash
113
+ git clone https://github.com/Binomica-Labs/SpliceCraft.git
114
+ cd SpliceCraft
115
+ pip install -e .
116
+ ```
117
+
118
+ ### Optional dependencies
119
+
120
+ **pLannotate** (for automatic plasmid annotation via `Shift+A`) — requires conda:
121
+
122
+ ```bash
123
+ conda create -n plannotate -c conda-forge -c bioconda plannotate
124
+ conda activate plannotate
125
+ plannotate setupdb # one-time ~500 MB BLAST database download
126
+ # then run SpliceCraft from the same conda env
127
+ ```
128
+
129
+ SpliceCraft runs fine without pLannotate — the annotation feature just
130
+ notifies the user how to install it if pressed.
131
+
132
+ ---
133
+
134
+ ## Usage
135
+
136
+ ```bash
137
+ # After pip install:
138
+ splicecraft # empty canvas
139
+ splicecraft L09137 # fetch pUC19 from NCBI on launch
140
+ splicecraft myplasmid.gb # open a local GenBank file
141
+ splicecraft --version # print version
142
+ splicecraft --help # quick usage hint
143
+ ```
144
+
145
+ If running from a git clone (`pip install -e .`), the same commands work;
146
+ you can also still run `python3 splicecraft.py` directly.

226
+
227
+ ## Data files
228
+
229
+ All user data persists as human-readable JSON in the repo directory:
230
+
231
+ | File | Purpose |
232
+ |-----------------------|---------------------------------------------|
233
+ | `plasmid_library.json`| Saved plasmid collection (GenBank + metadata) |
234
+ | `parts_bin.json` | User-domesticated Golden Braid parts |
235
+ | `primers.json` | Designed primer library |
236
+ | `*.json.bak` | Automatic backup — written before each save |
237
+
238
+ These files are in `.gitignore` — they're user-local data, not repo content.
239
+ A manual backup rotation happens on every save so accidental data loss is
240
+ always recoverable via the `.bak` file.
241
+
