genbank

Python code to work with Genbank files

This repo contains several classes to help work with Genbank files

The flow goes:

File > Read > Locus > Feature

To use:

from genbank.file import File

f = File('infile.gbk')
for name,locus in f.items():
	print(name)
	for feature in locus:
		print(feature)

You can also build a Locus object from the ground up:

from genbank.locus import Locus
locus = Locus('test', 'actgactgatcgtagctagc')
# then add a feature by parsing text of a genbank feature
locus.read_feature('  CDS  1..10')
# or add one by manually specifing the type,strand,and locations
locus.add_feature('CDS',+1,[['10','20']])
locus.write()

which gives:

LOCUS       test        20 bp  DNA          UNK
DEFINITION  test
FEATURES          Location/Qualifiers
     CDS             1..10
     CDS             10..20
ORIGIN
        1 actgactgat cgtagctagc

This package also allows you to perform various conversions on a given genome file:

$ genbank.py tests/phiX174.gbk -f tabular
'phiX174'	'CDS'	(('100', '627'),)	{'gene': "G"}
'phiX174'	'CDS'	(('636', '1622'),)	{'gene': "H"}
'phiX174'	'CDS'	(('1659', '3227'),)	{'gene': "A"}
'phiX174'	'CDS'	(('2780', '3142'),)	{'gene': "B"}
'phiX174'	'CDS'	(('3142', '3312'),)	{'gene': "K"}
