Bio.SubsMat.FreqTable module¶
A class to handle frequency tables or letter count files.
Example files for a DNA alphabet:
A count file (whitespace separated):
A 50
C 37
G 23
T 58
The same info as a frequency file:
A 0.2976
C 0.2202
G 0.1369
T 0.3452
- Functions:
- read_count(f)
read a count file from stream f. Then convert to frequencies.
- read_freq(f)
read a frequency data file from stream f. Of course, we then don’t have the counts, but it is usually the letter frequencies which are interesting.
- Methods:
(all internal)
- Attributes:
- alphabet
The IUPAC alphabet set (or any other) whose letters you are using. Common sets are:
IUPAC.protein
(20-letter protein),IUPAC.unambiguous_dna
(4-letter DNA). SeeBio.Alphabet
for more.- data
Frequency dictionary.
- count
Count dictionary. Empty if no counts are provided.
- Example of use:
>>> import io >>> from Bio.SubsMat import FreqTable >>> f_count = io.StringIO(u"A 50\nC 37\nG 23\nT 58") >>> ftab = FreqTable.read_count(f_count) >>> for nb in sorted(ftab): ... print("%s %0.4f" %(nb, ftab[nb])) ... A 0.2976 C 0.2202 G 0.1369 T 0.3452
