Project description
codonw-slim
CodonW is a package for codon usage analysis written by John Peden in Paul Sharp's group (University of Nottingham). It was originally designed to simplify multivariate analysis of codon usage with other metrics related to codon usage calculated.
codonw-slim refactors the original codebase to add Python bindings to the underlying methods written in C and to focus on the other codon usage metrics. See below for a list of metrics and their usage.
A detailed description of each metric, with references, can be found in
in the docstrings of Python methods (codonw/codonwlib/codonw.pyx
).
All of the multivariate analysis code has been removed since this sort of
analysis is more easily done in a higher level language
(e.g. FactoMineR).
The interative interface has also been removed.
No error checking of nucleotide sequences is done, e.g. for start,
stop codons, internal stops codons, non-translatable, and partial codons.
Users should do this themself to inputs provided. For more information about
how amino acids and codons have are represented internally (Recoding.md
).
The source code and releases for codonw-slim can be obtained from https://www.github.com/smsaladi/codonw-slim. Please report bugs and improvements via pull requests at this repository. All modifications must pass regression testing.
Build and Installation
pip install codonw-slim
Usage
The following metrics are available:
- codon adaptation index (CAI)
CodonSeq.cai
- frequency of optimal codons (Fop)
CodonSeq.fop
- codon bias index (CBI)
CodonSeq.cbi
- the effective number of codons (Nc)
CodonSeq.enc
- hydropathicity of protein
CodonSeq.hydropathy
- aromaticity score
CodonSeq.aromaticity
- Silent base composition (including GC3s)
CodonSeq.silent_base_usage
- Codon & Amino acid usage (count and relative)
CodonSeq.codon_usage
CodonSeq.aa_usage
CodonSeq.rscu
CodonSeq.raau
- Base composition by codon position
CodonSeq.bases
- Base composition in all frames,
Length of gene,
Number of synonymous codons,
G+C content (overall and by codon position),
G+C content of synonymous codons at the 3rd position,
G+C content of non-synonymous codons at the 3rd position,
Number of synonymous codons,
Number of amino acids
CodonSeq.bases2
- Dinucleotide count by frame
CodonSeq.dinuc
As written above, each is a method of the codonw.CononSeq
object, e.g.
import codonw
cseq = codonw.CodonSeq("ATGAATATGCTCATTGTCGGTAGAGTTGTTGCTAGTGTTGGGGGAAGCGGACTTCAAACG")
cseq.cai()
The return type can be a simple value, pd.Series
, or pd.DataFrame
.
The genetic codes can be specified by setting the CodonSeq.genetic_code
property with a pd.Series
whose index is a codon and value is the single
letter amino acid. Instantiate an object and see CodonSeq.genetic_code
for more details.
Some indicies have an option of reference values to choose from (e.g. CodonSeq.fop
).
Several references values can be chosen by specifying the corresponding integer.
If you'd like to have user-provided reference values, please implement this
functionality and make a pull-request.
Why the name codonW?
Excerpted directly from John Peden's CodonW README...
Well first you must realise that "clustal" (a very popular multiple alignment program by Des Higgins) was originally written in Paul's lab in Trinity College Dublin. Clustal has since been rewritten from FORTRAN into C and undergone several name changes clustal-> clustalv-> clustalw -> clustalx. There was also a program called "codons" written in FORTRAN by Andrew Lloyd (a post-doc in Paul's lab), this was the original inspiration for codonW. An early version of codonW, written in C, was called codonv. When the code was enhanced to include multivariate analysis, what better name than codonW.
