abnumber 0.4.4

AbNumber - Antibody numbering using ANARCI

AbNumber

Convenience Python APIs for antibody numbering and alignment using ANARCI

Try it out in your browser using Binder:

Features:

• Streamlined Python API using Chain object
• Identifying CDR regions, e.g. using chain.regions or chain.cdr3_seq
• Indexing and slicing, e.g. using chain['5'] or chain['H2':'H5']
• Pairwise and multiple sequence alignment in the given numbering using chain.align(another)
• Alignment to nearest human germline using chain.align(chain.find_merged_human_germline())
• Humanization using CDR grafting by chain.graft_cdrs_onto_human_germline()

See AbNumber Documentation for the full reference.

Installation

Install using Bioconda:

conda install -c bioconda abnumber

Note: Windows is not supported due to HMMER dependency. AbNumber is currently only available on UNIX & MacOS.

Examples

from abnumber import Chain

seq = 'QVQLQQSGAELARPGASVKMSCKASGYTFTRYTMHWVKQRPGQGLEWIGYINPSRGYTNYNQKFKDKATLTTDKSSSTAYMQLSSLTSEDSAVYYCARYYDDHYCLDYWGQGTTLTVSSAKTTAPSVYPLA'
chain = Chain(seq, scheme='imgt')

chain.print(numbering=True)

Chain can be iterated:

for pos, aa in chain:
    print(pos, aa)
# H1  Q
# H2  V
# H3  Q
# H4  L
# H5  Q

Chain can also be indexed and sliced using scheme numbering:

chain['5']
# 'Q'
for pos, aa in chain['H2':'H5']:
    print(pos, aa)
# H2  V
# H3  Q
# H4  L
# H5  Q

For all methods see AbNumber Documentation
