tidytcells 0.0.5

Standardise TCR/MHC gene symbols.

Note

This package is currently in the alpha stage of development.

Note

This package currently only supports parsing of human TCR and MHC gene data. Support for more species is planned for the future.

tidytcells is a lightweight Python package written for bioinformaticians who work with T cell receptor (TCR) data. The main purpose of the package is to solve the problem of parsing and collating together non-standardised TCR datasets. It is often difficult to compile TCR data from multiple sources because the formats/nomenclature of how each dataset encodes TCR and MHC gene names are slightly different, or even inconsistent within themselves. tidytcells attempts to ameliorate this issue by providing simple functions that can standardise TCR and MHC gene symbols to their officially accepted versions, as defined by IMGT, HGNC, or other authorities on gene nomenclature.

Installation

Via PyPI (recommended)

tidytcells can be installed using pip:

$ pip install tidytcells

From source

The source code for the package is available on Github. To install from source, clone the git repository, and run:

$ pip install .

from inside the project root directory.
