Frequently used commands in bioinformatics

Project description

https://badge.fury.io/py/fuc.svg Documentation Status https://anaconda.org/bioconda/fuc/badges/version.svg https://anaconda.org/bioconda/fuc/badges/license.svg https://anaconda.org/bioconda/fuc/badges/downloads.svg

Introduction

The main goal of the fuc package (pronounced “eff-you-see”) is to wrap some of the most frequently used commands in the field of bioinformatics into one place.

The package is written in Python, and supports both command line interface (CLI) and application programming interface (API) whose documentations are available at the Read the Docs.

Currently, fuc can be used to analyze, summarize, visualize, and manipulate the following file formats:

  • Sequence Alignment/Map (SAM)

  • Binary Alignment/Map (BAM)

  • CRAM

  • Variant Call Format (VCF)

  • Mutation Annotation Format (MAF)

  • Browser Extensible Data (BED)

  • FASTQ

  • FASTA

  • General Feature Format (GFF)

  • Gene Transfer Format (GTF)

  • delimiter-separated values format (e.g. comma-separated values or CSV format)

Additionally, fuc can be used to parse output data from the following programs:

Your contributions (e.g. feature ideas, pull requests) are most welcome.

Installation

The following packages are required to run fuc:

biopython
lxml
matplotlib
matplotlib-venn
numpy
pandas
pyranges
pysam
scipy
seaborn
statsmodels

There are various ways you can install fuc. The recommended way is via conda (Anaconda):

$ conda install -c bioconda fuc

Above will automatically download and install all the dependencies as well. Alternatively, you can use pip (PyPI) to install fuc and all of its dependencies:

$ pip install fuc

Finally, you can clone the GitHub repository and then install fuc locally:

$ git clone https://github.com/sbslee/fuc
$ cd fuc
$ pip install .

The nice thing about this approach is that you will have access to development versions that are not available in Anaconda or PyPI. For example, you can access a development branch with the git checkout command. When you do this, please make sure your environment already has all the dependencies installed.

  • pybam : The pybam submodule is designed for working with sequence alignment files (SAM/BAM/CRAM). It essentially wraps the pysam package to allow fast computation and easy manipulation. If you are mainly interested in working with depth of coverage data, please check out the pycov submodule which is specifically designed for the task.

  • pybed : The pybed submodule is designed for working with BED files. It implements pybed.BedFrame which stores BED data as pandas.DataFrame via the pyranges package to allow fast computation and easy manipulation. The submodule strictly adheres to the standard BED specification.

  • pychip : The pychip submodule is designed for working with annotation or manifest files from the Axiom (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and Infinium (Illumina) array platforms.

  • pycov : The pycov submodule is designed for working with depth of coverage data from sequence alingment files (SAM/BAM/CRAM). It implements pycov.CovFrame which stores read depth data as pandas.DataFrame via the pysam package to allow fast computation and easy manipulation. The pycov.CovFrame class also contains many useful plotting methods such as CovFrame.plot_region and CovFrame.plot_uniformity.
