A Boolean Algebra for Genetic Variants

mutalyzer-algebra

A Boolean Algebra for Genetic Variants

A set of Boolean relations: equivalence; containment, i.e., either a variant is fully contained in another or a variant fully contains another; overlap, i.e., two variants have (at least) one common element; and disjoint, i.e., no common elements that allows for a comprehensive classification of the relation for every pair of variants by taking all minimal Longest Common Subsequence (LCS) alignments into account.

Installation

Use pip to install from the Python Package Index (PyPI).

python -m pip install mutalyzer-algebra

Or directly from GitHub for development (after cloning in an active virtual environment).

python -m pip install --upgrade --editable .[dev]

Testing

Run the tests.

python -m coverage run -m pytest

Usage

Use the command-line interface.

algebra --reference "AAAAA" compare --lhs-hgvs "1_2insTA" --rhs-hgvs "2_3insT"

Or as a Python package.

from algebra import compare
from algebra.variants import parse_hgvs


reference = "AAAAA"
lhs = parse_hgvs("1_2insTA")
rhs = parse_hgvs("2_3insT")

# returns: Relation.DISJOINT
compare(reference, lhs, rhs)


reference = "CATATATC"
lhs = parse_hgvs("2_7AT[4]")  # observed: CATATATATC
rhs = parse_hgvs("5_6insT")   # observed: CATATTATC

# returns: Relation.CONTAINS
compare(reference, lhs, rhs)
