The next step will be to combine this # codon analysis with a protein library so that an analysis of wether # mutations are silent or not can be done. # 2. I'm not sure this is the # best implementation in that when the alignment did something like # place '-' as a placeholder to get the sequence to line up better, i # left that and didn't actually treat it like it could have caused a # frameshift. it would be pretty straightforward to make it a # frameshift, though (just by not including it when making the codon # list) and the rest of the implementation can stay the same. # Helper function to determine ORF (reading frame). will return a # list with two numbers - the start nucleotide number and the length of # the open reading frame (number of nucleotides). def find_frame(seq): # try it starting with the first nucleotide, then with the second, # then with the third. return whichever is found first. (this # could be improved later. start = 'AUG' stop = ['UAA', 'UAG', 'UGA'] start_num = -1 # this will do all three trials in order (changing the seq by one # each time. chopped = [] for i in range(2): # chopped will be a list in which each element is a codon in # the list. print "len chopped: ", len(chopped) #FIX THIS HERE for counter in range((len(seq) / 3) - (len(chopped)%3)): print "Counter: ", counter print "Length: ", ((len(seq) / 3) - (len(chopped)%3)) chopped = split_len(seq, 3)[i:] return chopped # compare with the start codon. note: i is the offset so # that we return the correct numbers based on the # numbering of the full sequence. #if chopped[counter] is 'AUG': #start_num = counter + i #if (start_num != -1) and ((chopped[counter] == stop[0]) or (chopped[counter] == stop[1]) or (chopped[counter] == stop[2])): #return [start_num, (counter + i) - (start_num + 1)] def split_len(seq, length): return [seq[i:i+length] for i in range(0, len(seq), length)] print split_len('ABCABCABCABC', 3) word = 'hello' print word[2:4] print translate('AUG') list = find_frame('AUGATGUAG') print list
The second half of this has some issues but it's getting there... i need to go back and put in some fixes so it all works together nicely. Most importantly, I need to figure out how to hook it up with a library that can tell you info about specific proteins.
