uniprot-id-mapper 1.0.1

A Python wrapper for the UniProt Mapping RESTful API.

UniProtMapper

An (unofficial) Python wrapper for the UniProt Retrieve/ID Mapping RESTful API. This package supports the following functionalities:

• Map UniProt IDs other identifiers (handled by UniProtIDMapper);
• Retrieve any of the supported return fields (handled by UniprotRetriever)
• Parse json UniProt-SwissProt responses (handled by SwissProtParser).

Installation

From PyPI:

pip install uniprot-id-mapper

From source:

git clone https://github.com/David-Araripe/UniProtMapper
cd UniProtMapper
pip install .

Usage

UniProtIDMapper

Supported databases and their respective type are stored under the attribute self.supported_dbs_with_types. These are also found as a list under self._supported_fields.

from UniProtIDMapper import UniProtIDMapper

mapper = UniProtIDMapper()
print(mapper.supported_dbs_with_types)

To map a list of UniProt IDs to Ensembl IDs, the user can either call the object directly or use the mapID method.

result, failed = mapper.mapIDs(
    ids=["P30542", "Q16678", "Q02880"], from_db="UniProtKB_AC-ID", to_db="Ensembl"
)
>>> Retrying in 3s
>>> Fetched: 3 / 3

result, failed = mapper(
    ids=["P30542", "Q16678", "Q02880"], from_db="UniProtKB_AC-ID", to_db="Ensembl"
)
>>> Retrying in 3s
>>> Fetched: 3 / 3

Where result is the following pandas DataFrame:

	UniProtKB_AC-ID	Ensembl
0	P30542	ENSG00000163485.17
1	Q16678	ENSG00000138061.12
2	Q02880	ENSG00000077097.17

UniProtRetriever

This class supports retrieving any of the UniProt return fields. The user can access these directly from the object, under the attribute self.fields_table, e.g.:

import pandas as pd
from UniProtMapper import UniProtRetriever

field_retriever = UniProtRetriever()
df = field_retriever.fields_table
df.head()

	Label	Legacy Returned Field	Returned Field	Field Type
0	Entry	id	accession	Names & Taxonomy
1	Entry Name	entry name	id	Names & Taxonomy
2	Gene Names	genes	gene_names	Names & Taxonomy
3	Gene Names (primary)	genes(PREFERRED)	gene_primary	Names & Taxonomy
4	Gene Names (synonym)	genes(ALTERNATIVE)	gene_synonym	Names & Taxonomy

Similar to UniProtIDMapper, the user can either call the object directly or use the retrieveFields method to obtain the response.

result, failed = field_retriever.retrieveFields(["Q02880"])
>>> Fetched: 1 / 1

result, failed = field_retriever(["Q02880"])
>>> Fetched: 1 / 1

Custom returned fields can be retrieved by passing a list of fields to the fields parameter. These fields need to be within UniProtRetriever.fields_table["Returned Field"] and will be returned with columns named as their respective Label.

The object already has a list of default fields under self.default_fields, but these are ignored if the parameter fields is passed.

fields = ["accession", "organism_name", "structure_3d"]
result, failed = field_retriever.retrieveFields(["Q02880"],
                                                fields=fields)

SwissProtParser

Querying data from UniProt-SwissProt

Retrieving json UniProt-SwissProt (reviewed) responses is also possible, such as the following:

result, failed = mapper(
    ids=["P30542", "Q16678", "Q02880"], from_db="UniProtKB_AC-ID", to_db="UniProtKB-Swiss-Prot"
)

print(result[0])
>>> {'from': 'P30542',
>>>  'to': {'entryType': 'UniProtKB reviewed (Swiss-Prot)',
>>>   'primaryAccession': 'P30542',
>>> ...
>>>     'Beta strand': 2,
>>>     'Turn': 1},
>>>    'uniParcId': 'UPI00000503E1'}}}

SwissProt responses from UniProtIDMapper can be parsed using the SwissProtParser class, where the fields to extract from UniProt (:param: = toquery) are stored under self._supported_fields and the cross-referenced datasets are stored under self._crossref_dbs (:param: = crossrefs).

parser = SwissProtParser(
    toquery=["organism", "tissueExpression", "cellLocation"], crossrefs=["GO"]
)
parser(result[0]['to'])

>>> {'organism': 'Homo sapiens',
>>>  'tissueExpression': '',
>>>  'cellLocation': 'Cell membrane',
>>>  'GO_crossref': ['GO:0030673~GoTerm~C:axolemma',
>>>   'GO:0030673~GoEvidenceType~IEA:Ensembl',
>>> ...
>>>   'GO:0007165~GoEvidenceType~TAS:ProtInc',
>>>   'GO:0001659~GoTerm~P:temperature homeostasis',
>>>   'GO:0001659~GoEvidenceType~IEA:Ensembl',
>>>   'GO:0070328~GoTerm~P:triglyceride homeostasis',
>>>   'GO:0070328~GoEvidenceType~IEA:Ensembl']}

Both UniProtIDMapper.mapIDs and __call__ methods accept a SwissProtParser as a parameter, such as in:

result, failed = mapper(
    ids=["P30542", "Q16678", "Q02880"],
    from_db="UniProtKB_AC-ID",
    to_db="UniProtKB-Swiss-Prot",
    parser=parser,
)
