COmparative GENomics Toolkit 3: genomic sequence analysis within notebooks or on compute systems with 1000s of CPUs.
Project description
cogent3
is a mature python library for analysis of genomic sequence data. We endeavour to provide a first-class experience within Jupyter notebooks, but the algorithms also support parallel execution on compute systems with 1000's of processors.
📣 Feature Announcements 📣
Migration to new type core objects is complete‼️
This has now been finalised with these classes being the defaults.
Major advances in our progress towards a fully plugin-based architecture!
Cogent3 supports sequence storage plugins 📦🔌🚀
We have implemented the infrastructure to support alternative sequence storage plugins. These provide the backend storage for the new type sequence collections. We have implemented a proof-of-principle plugin cogent3-h5seqs for sequence storage based on the HDF5 format. This allows efficient storage of very large sequence collections (aligned or unaligned). See the readme for that project on how to use it.
Cogent3 supports sequence format parser and writer plugins 👓✍️🔌
We have implemented the infrastructure to support third-party provision of every bioinformaticians favourite game -- parsing / writing the multitude of sequence file formats. All builtin format parsers / writers are implemented as plugins. We use third-party versions by default.
Cogent3 implements plugin hooks 🔌🪝🎉
We have implemented the infrastructure to support hook-style plugins. We have definied a single hook now -- the new type Alignment.quick_tree()
method checks for an external plugin for calculation. The developers of piqtree have made the rapid-NJ algorithm available for this hook! Once installed, it is used as aln.quick_tree(use_hook="piqtree")
.
Note For assistance in writing your own plugins, contact us via the cogent3 discussions page.
Now distributed with sample data!
We have added sample data sets for quick testing of different features. Check out cogent3.available_datasets()
to see the available datasets. You can load one using cogent3.get_dataset(name)
.
Who is it for?
Anyone who wants to analyse sequence divergence using robust statistical models
cogent3
is unique in providing numerous non-stationary Markov models for modelling sequence evolution, including codon models. cogent3
also includes an extensive collection of time-reversible models (again including novel codon models). We have done more than just invent these new methods, we have established the most robust algorithms for their implementation and their suitability for real data. Additionally, there are novel signal processing methods focussed on statistical estimation of integer period signals.

Anyone who wants to undertake exploratory genomic data analysis
Beyond our novel methods, cogent3
provides an extensive suite of capabilities for manipulating and analysing sequence data. You can manipulate sequences by their annotations, e.g.
🎬 Demo sequences with annotations
Plus, you can read standard tabular and biological data formats, perform multiple sequence alignment using any cogent3
substitution models, phylogenetic reconstruction and tree manipulation, manipulation of tabular data, visualisation of phylogenies and much more.
Beginner friendly approach to genomic data analysis
Our cogent3.app
module provides a very different approach to using the library capabilities. Expertise in structural programming concepts is not essential!
🎬 Demo friendly coding
Installation
For most users we recommend
$ pip install "cogent3[extra]"
which installs support for data visualisation and jupyter notebooks.
If you're running on a high-performance computing system we recommend
$ pip install cogent3
which skips the data visualisation and notebook support.
To install the development version directly from GitHub
$ pip install git+https://github.com/cogent3/cogent3.git@develop#egg=cogent3
Project Information
cogent3
is released under the BSD-3 license, documentation is at cogent3.org, while cogent3
code is on GitHub. If you would like to contribute (and we hope you do!), we have created a companion c3dev
GitHub repo which provides details on how to contribute and some useful tools for doing so.
Project History
cogent3
is a descendant of PyCogent. While there is much in common with PyCogent, the amount of change has been substantial, motivating the name change to cogent3
. This name has been chosen because cogent
was always the import name (dating back to PyEvolve in 2004) and it's Python 3 only.
Given this history, we are grateful to the multitude of individuals who have made contributions over the years. Many of these contributors were also co-authors on the original PyEvolve and PyCogent publications. Individual contributions can be seen by using "view git blame" on individual lines of code on GitHub, through git log in the terminal, and more recently the changelog.
Funding
Cogent3 has received funding support from the Australian National University and an Essential Open Source Software for Science Grant from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.
