Code generated for rapid alignment show of any gene sequence from SARS-CoV-2

get_genes() Prints a list of genes

get_tree(gene) Makes a simple ascii phylogenetic tree of a specific SARS-CoV-2 gene with the most known mutant variants.

get_seq_similarity(gene) Prints a number from 0 to 1 showing the conservation score of that gene sequence

view_alignment(gene) Makes a plot of the aligned sequences to see how the alignment looks like.

view_alignment('S') shows alignment of the S or spike protein coding sequence

For adding future variants it can be done just by modifying the file SARS_variant_examples.csv by adding the line of the new variant, and add the variant name and Pango Lineage name to the list inside covid_dna_alignment.ipynb (list_variants and list_lineage). Then, just run the command generate_gb_files()
