Wasabi was offline 20.-21. March due to unexpected changes in wasabiapp.org nameserver settings. The issue has been resolved and hopefully stays that way.

The world’s largest genome browser Ensembl (http://ensembl.org) has integrated Wasabi to provide interactive visualization of the Genetree datasets.
To see Wasabi in action, click on any node in a genetree (e.g. BRCA2 genetree) and click “Wasabi viewer”. The selected subtree together with the sequence alignment will be visualized in a pop-up Wasabi window.
See also an illustrated example in Ensembl release notes.

Wasabi integrated to ConSurf server
In addition to our public server, Wasabi can be added to other web services for customized integration.
The ConSurf server is using Wasabi to provide interactive visualization for the result alignments and phylogenetic trees.
Here’s an example results page with Wasabi link:Â http://consurf.tau.ac.il/2016//Gallery/2POL_A/output.php
And the article describing ConSurf: http://nar.oxfordjournals.org/content/44/W1/W344.full

Wasabi article published!
Great news! The first article describing Wasabi and few of its use cases has been published in Molecular Biology and Evolution.
You can now read the article online and cite it in publications:
Veidenberg, A., Medlar, A. and Löytynoja, A. (2015) “Wasabi: an integrated platform for evolutionary sequence analysis and data visualisation.” Mol. Biol. Evol.
Wasabi homepage now includes a nice video to show an example workflow in Wasabi.
The 2-minute tutorial covers Ensembl import, using Pagan aligner, tree pruning and sequence translation, among others. The video is hosted on Youtube and is available in HD (recommended).
The previous Wasabi introduction video is availabe on the About page and on Youtube.
Also, Wasabi has a brand new plugin system for integrating custom command-line tools.
The system uses JSON-based configuration to define a dynamic Wasabi interface with complex option sets for communication with external tools. Wasabi plugin API documentation and examples are found on the About page.
