Genealloy helps designing overlapping sequences.

It takes two amino acid coding nucleotide sequences and a codon conversion table of allowed triplet -> triplet transitions, and determines whether one sequence can be inserted into the other one. Note that the package is under development.

Overlapping sequences are nucleotide sequences that encode different amino acid sequences on the same DNA or RNA region. These sequences are either on the complementary strands (in any frame), or on the same strand as frameshift sequences. This phenomenon is made possible by the redundancy of the genetic code (codon degeneracy).

In the metallurgic terminology used at the genome foundries, the host sequence (into which the shorter sequence is inserted) is called the matrix or solvent, and the shorter guest (or parasite) is called the solute; and a combination sequence is called a genealloy.

Install

`bash pip install genealloy `

Usage

`python import genealloy as ga swaptable = ga.generate_swaptable(ga.codon_to_aa, ga.aa_to_codon_extended) host = 'TCGTCGTACCAGCCGCAGAGGAGAGCTACTTTT' parasite = 'GTACCCGCTGCG' # frameshift 2 ga.make_genealloy(host, parasite, swaptable) `

Find partial overlaps:

`python ga.find_partial_overlaps(host, parasite, swaptable) `
