annotation-refinery 1.0.2

Portable Python package to process publicly available annotated sets of genes, such as Gene Ontology and Disease Ontologyterms.

The Annotation Refinery python package consists of functions that process publicly available annotated sets of genes, such as Gene Ontology and Disease Ontology terms.

Configuration files

The Annotation Refinery requires at least two .ini configuration files in the main directory to run:

1. A main_config.ini file with the main configuration settings, and

2. At least one <species>.ini file, which will contain the locations of the desired annotation files for that species, amon other things. Users can add configuration files in the main directory for as many species as they want the refinery to process.

Optionally, there can also be a secrets.ini file, which stores values like usernames and passwords for access to restricted URLs.

The Main Configuration File

The main configuration file includes settings like the location(s) of the species file(s), where the output of the refinery (the processed genesets) should be loaded to, where annotation files should be downloaded to, and optionally, the location of the secrets file.

The Species File(s)

Each species file should contain the URLs of the desired annotation files to be downloaded.
