Introduction

cazy-parser is a tool that extract information from CAZy in a more usable and readable format. Firstly, a script reads the HTML structure and creates a mirror of the database as a tab delimited file. Secondly, information is extracted from the database according to user inputted parameters and presented to the user as a set of accession codes.

Install / Upgrade

pip install --upgrade cazy-parser

Usage (internet connection required)

cazy-parser -h
usage: cazy-parser [-h] [-f FAMILY] [-s SUBFAMILY] [-c CHARACTERIZED] [-v] {GH,GT,PL,CA,AA}

positional arguments:
  {GH,GT,PL,CA,AA}

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -f FAMILY, --family FAMILY
  -s SUBFAMILY, --subfamily SUBFAMILY
  -c CHARACTERIZED, --characterized CHARACTERIZED
  -v, --version         show version

Example

Extract all fasta sequences from family 43 of Glycoside Hydrolase subfamily 1

$ cazy-parser GH -f 43 -s 1
