Split Oligos From User Input

Script for splitting up as many oligos as you want (USING USER INPUT). The first part goes in main. The second part goes in honeycomb_pointers_v1.py

#####
# Oligo splitting:
# get new list of oligos given user input specifying which oligo to cut
#####

num_to_split = int(raw_input('How many oligos do you want to split?'))
i = 0
new_OTP_ra = OTP_ra[:]
while i < num_to_split:  

        oligo_num = int(raw_input('Enter the number oligo you wish to split:'))
        print '\n'
        print 'How many tokens should the first new oligo be?'
        num_toks = int(raw_input('Number of toks starting from 5 prime: '))

        new_OTP_ra = split_oligo(new_OTP_ra, oligo_num, num_toks)
        
        print new_OTP_ra
        print len(OTP_ra)
        print len(new_OTP_ra)
        i = i + 1

####
# given an oligo to split, split it and return the new list of oligos
####    
def split_oligo(new_OTP_ra, oligo_num, num_toks):
        
        print new_OTP_ra[oligo_num]

        original_oligo = new_OTP_ra[oligo_num]
        
        oligo_1 = original_oligo[:num_toks]  
        oligo_2 = original_oligo[num_toks:]
        print oligo_1
        print'\n'
        print oligo_2
                
        new_OTP_ra[oligo_num] = oligo_1
        new_OTP_ra.insert(oligo_num + 1, oligo_2)
        return new_OTP_ra    

Split Oligos From File Input

Script for splitting up oligos automatically (FILE INPUT). (make sure to import pickle at the top). This part goes in main. Further down is the file to read from essentially (uses pickle)

#####
# Oligo splitting - this time reading from a file and not asking for user
# input
#####

fin_lid = None

        fin_barrel = open("barrel_oligos_to_split.txt", "r")

        print "Error in file IO: ", e
        
# Ask the user if they are running a lid or a barrel
shape = int(raw_input("Enter 1 if you are running a barrel, 2 if lid: "))
if (shape == 1):
        oligos_to_split = pickle.load(fin_barrel)
elif (shape == 2):
        oligos_to_split = pickle.load(fin_lid)
else:
        print 'Please modify code or run with lid or 30hb barrel'


new_OTP_ra = OTP_ra[:]
for pair in oligos_to_split:
        oligo_num = pair[0]
        print oligo_num
        num_toks = pair[1]
        print num_toks

        new_OTP_ra = split_oligo(new_OTP_ra, oligo_num, num_toks)
        
        print new_OTP_ra
        print len(OTP_ra)
        print len(new_OTP_ra)

# if it's the barrel design and so that all the numbers aren't messed
# up, the 7bp token on the start of strand 10 needs to be removed
# because it's going to be left unpaired
if (shape == 1):
        new_OTP_ra = new_OTP_ra[:61] + new_OTP_ra[62:]

if fin_barrel: fin_barrel.close()
if fin_lid: fin_lid.close() 
        

Pickle Script Split Parameters (for if you use file input)
