Integrate difFUBAR visualizations into hyphy-eye

[stevenweaver]

Overview

Extend hyphy-vision library to support difFUBAR-specific visualizations. difFUBAR generates unique differential selection results that require specialized visualization components not currently available in the standard hyphy-vision toolkit.

Background

difFUBAR produces differential selection results comparing two foreground groups (ω1 vs ω2) with posterior probabilities for various evolutionary scenarios. The current hyphy-vision library is designed for single-group analyses and needs extension for comparative differential selection results.

Required Visualizations

1. Site-Level Differential Selection Plot

Interactive scatter plot showing:

• X-axis: Site position (1 to sequence length)
• Y-axis: Maximum posterior probability across all categories
• Points colored by strongest signal:
  • Red: P(ω1 > ω2) > threshold
  • Blue: P(ω2 > ω1) > threshold
  • Green: P(ω1 > 1) > threshold (positive selection in group 1)
  • Orange: P(ω2 > 1) > threshold (positive selection in group 2)
• Hover tooltips with detailed posterior probabilities

2. Posterior Probability Heatmap

Heatmap visualization:

• Rows: Sites with detected differential selection
• Columns: Four posterior categories [P(ω1>ω2), P(ω2>ω1), P(ω1>1), P(ω2>1)]
• Color intensity: Posterior probability strength
• Interactive site selection and filtering

3. Branch Group Comparison Charts

Comparative visualizations:

• ω Distribution Plot: Side-by-side histograms of mean(ω1) vs mean(ω2) across sites
• Alpha Parameter Plot: Distribution of synonymous rate variation
• Detection Summary: Bar chart of sites by detection category

4. Evidence Summary Table

Interactive table with:

• Site number and codon position
• All four posterior probabilities
• Mean parameter estimates [α, ω1, ω2]
• Sortable and filterable columns
• Export functionality (CSV, JSON)

5. Interactive Site Explorer

Detailed per-site analysis:

• Click site in plot → show detailed breakdown
• Parameter distributions for selected site
• Sequence context and codon information
• Branch-specific rate estimates

Implementation Requirements

Add difFUBAR Function to hyphy-vision

// In hyphy-vision library
hyphyVision.difFubar = function(url, element, fasta, settings) {
  d3.json(url, function(error, results) {
    if (error) {
      // Error handling
      return;
    }
    
    // Parse difFUBAR results format
    const sites = results.data.sites;
    const detected = sites.filter(s => 
      Math.max(s["P(ω1 > ω2)"], s["P(ω2 > ω1)"], 
               s["P(ω1 > 1)"], s["P(ω2 > 1)"]) > settings.threshold
    );
    
    // Create visualization container
    const container = d3.select(element);
    
    // Render main differential selection plot
    renderDifferentialPlot(container, sites, settings);
    
    // Render summary statistics
    renderSummaryStats(container, detected, settings);
    
    // Render evidence table
    renderEvidenceTable(container, detected, settings);
  });
};

Integration with Results Template

Update app/templates/difFubar/results.ejs:

<\!-- difFUBAR Results Visualization -->
<div id="difFubar-results" class="hyphy-analysis"></div>

<script>
  hyphyVision.difFubar(
    "/difFubar/<%= job._id %>/results.json",
    "#difFubar-results",
    null,
    {
      threshold: <%= job.pos_threshold %>,
      showTable: true,
      showHeatmap: true,
      showComparison: true
    }
  );
</script>

Data Format Support

Support difFUBAR JSON output format:

{
  "data": {
    "sites": [
      {
        "Codon Sites": 1,
        "P(ω1 > ω2)": 0.95,
        "P(ω2 > ω1)": 0.03,
        "P(ω1 > 1)": 0.12,
        "P(ω2 > 1)": 0.08,
        "mean(α)": 1.2,
        "mean(ω1)": 2.1,
        "mean(ω2)": 0.8
      }
    ]
  },
  "summary": {
    "detected_sites": 24,
    "total_sites": 808
  }
}

User Interface Features

• Responsive Design: Works on desktop, tablet, mobile
• Export Options: PNG, SVG, PDF for plots; CSV for tables
• Parameter Filtering: Adjust threshold and re-render
• Color Customization: User-configurable color schemes
• Accessibility: Screen reader support, keyboard navigation

Performance Considerations

• Efficient rendering for large datasets (>5000 sites)
• Virtual scrolling for evidence tables
• WebGL acceleration for scatter plots
• Progressive loading for large visualizations

Acceptance Criteria

• difFUBAR results display comprehensive visualizations
• All four posterior probability categories are clearly represented
• Interactive site exploration works smoothly
• Visualizations are publication-ready (high DPI, clean styling)
• Export functionality works for all visualization types
• Performance remains good with datasets up to 5000+ sites
• Integration works with existing results template system

Dependencies

• d3.js visualization library
• Existing hyphy-vision infrastructure
• difFUBAR JSON output format standardization
• Server-side result processing (Issue Api #331)

Priority

MEDIUM - Essential for user interpretation of difFUBAR results

Related Issues

• Server integration: Complete difFUBAR server integration datamonkey-js-server#331
• Tagged tree interface: Implement difFUBAR tagged tree interface #800

🔍 Issue Status: Blocked by hyphy-eye Implementation

After reviewing the dependencies, I can confirm that this issue is blocked by hyphy-eye issue #19 and cannot proceed until the visualization components are implemented in the hyphy-eye library.

🧩 Dependency Chain:

1. hyphy-eye#19 (BLOCKED): Create difFUBAR visualization components
2. datamonkey-js#801 (THIS ISSUE): Integrate visualizations into frontend
3. datamonkey-js#800 (✅ COMPLETED): Tagged tree interface
4. datamonkey-js#802 (✅ COMPLETED): Testing suite

✅ Current Implementation Status:

I've successfully completed all non-blocked difFUBAR implementation work:

Backend Integration (datamonkey-js-server):

• ✅ Complete Julia backend integration with plot generation
• ✅ Socket.io handlers for sending PNG/SVG visualization files
• ✅ Server routes and job management
• ✅ Configuration and deployment setup

Frontend Interface (datamonkey-js):

• ✅ Tagged tree interface with interactive branch selection
• ✅ Multi-step workflow (sequences → tree tagging → analysis)
• ✅ Form validation and parameter configuration
• ✅ Integration with MultiBranchSelection component

Testing Infrastructure:

• ✅ Comprehensive testing suite (48 test cases)
• ✅ Backend unit tests, UI integration tests, API tests
• ✅ Performance testing and error handling validation
• ✅ Complete documentation and CI/CD setup

🚧 Visualization Integration Readiness:

The foundation is ready for visualization integration once hyphy-eye#19 is completed:

Data Flow Ready:

• Server already generates and sends plot files (PNG/SVG)
• JSON results available with proper schema matching difFUBAR output
• Socket events configured: difFubar overview png/svg, difFubar posteriors png/svg, difFubar detections png/svg

Frontend Integration Points:

• Results page template exists: app/templates/difFubar/results.ejs
• Client-side handlers ready for visualization components
• hyphy-vision dependency already included in package.json

Expected Integration Work (Post hyphy-eye#19):

1. Import difFUBAR visualization components from hyphy-eye
2. Add visualization containers to results template
3. Wire up socket event handlers to display components
4. Add export/download functionality for plots
5. Test with actual difFUBAR result data

📋 Next Steps:

1. Priority: Complete hyphy-eye#19 difFUBAR visualization components
2. Timeline: Once hyphy-eye work is done, frontend integration ~1-2 days
3. Testing: Visualization components will be covered by existing test suite

💡 Recommendation:

Focus development resources on hyphy-eye#19 as it's the critical path blocker. The datamonkey-js infrastructure is complete and ready for immediate integration once the visualization components are available.

This issue remains blocked until hyphy-eye implementation is complete. All preparatory work has been finished.
