Bio.SeqIO.IgIO module

Bio.SeqIO support for the “ig” (IntelliGenetics or MASE) file format.

This module is for reading and writing IntelliGenetics format files as SeqRecord objects. This file format appears to be the same as the MASE multiple sequence alignment format.

You are expected to use this module via the Bio.SeqIO functions.

class Bio.SeqIO.IgIO.IgIterator(source)

Bases: Bio.SeqIO.Interfaces.SequenceIterator

Parser for IntelliGenetics files.

__init__(source)

Iterate over IntelliGenetics records (as SeqRecord objects).

source - file-like object opened in text mode, or a path to a file

The optional free format file header lines (which start with two semi-colons) are ignored.

The free format commentary lines at the start of each record (which start with a semi-colon) are recorded as a single string with embedded new line characters in the SeqRecord’s annotations dictionary under the key ‘comment’.

Examples

>>> with open("IntelliGenetics/TAT_mase_nuc.txt") as handle:
...     for record in IgIterator(handle):
...         print("%s length %i" % (record.id, len(record)))
