Bio.SeqIO.InsdcIO module

Bio.SeqIO support for the “genbank” and “embl” file formats.

You are expected to use this module via the Bio.SeqIO functions. Note that internally this module calls Bio.GenBank to do the actual parsing of GenBank, EMBL and IMGT files.

class Bio.SeqIO.InsdcIO.GenBankIterator(source)

Bases: SequenceIterator

Parser for GenBank files.

__init__(source)

Break up a Genbank file into SeqRecord objects.

Argument source is a file-like object opened in text mode or a path to a file. Every section from the LOCUS line to the terminating // becomes a single SeqRecord with associated annotation and features.

Note that for genomes or chromosomes, there is typically only one record.

This gets called internally by Bio.SeqIO for the GenBank file format:

>>> from Bio import SeqIO
>>> for record in SeqIO.parse("GenBank/cor6_6.gb", "gb"):
...     print(record.id)
...
X55053.1
X62281.1
M81224.1
AJ237582.1
L31939.1
AF297471.1

Equivalently,

>>> with open("GenBank/cor6_6.gb") as handle:
...     for record in GenBankIterator(handle):
...         print(record.id)
...
X55053.1
X62281.1
M81224.1
AJ237582.1
L31939.1
AF297471.1

parse(handle)

Start parsing the file, and return a SeqRecord generator.

class Bio.SeqIO.InsdcIO.EmblIterator(source)

Bases: SequenceIterator

Parser for EMBL files.

__init__(source)

Break up an EMBL file into SeqRecord objects.

Argument source is a file-like object opened in text mode or a path to a file. Every section from the LOCUS line to the terminating // becomes a single SeqRecord with associated annotation and features.

Note that for genomes or chromosomes, there is typically only one record.

This gets called internally by Bio.SeqIO for the EMBL file format:

>>> from Bio import SeqIO
>>> for record in SeqIO.parse("EMBL/epo_prt_selection.embl", "embl"):
...     print(record.id)
