taxster: assigning taxonomy to organisms you've never even heard of

This library contains tools for working with taxonomic assignment data. This should be considered pre-alpha software. Public APIs can and will change!

Install

pip install https://github.com/biocore/taxster/archive/master.zip

Consensus taxonomy assignments from .uc files

This example illustrates how to apply the consensus taxonomy processing described in Bokulich et al (in preparation). It assumes that you have the test data files included in this repository in ./test-data.

rt taxster

nomy_map = {}
line in open('./test-data/uc/tax-map.tsv', 'U'):
line = line.strip()
if line.startswith('#') or not line:
    continue
fields = line.split('\t')
id_ = fields[0]
tax = fields[1].split('; ')
taxonomy_map[id_] = tax

 open('./test-data/uc/1.uc', 'U')
ensus_assignments = taxster.uc_consensus_assignments(uc, taxonomy_map)

If you'd then like to write these out to file, you can do the following. This will write the consensus taxonomy assignments to a file that can be used with biom add-metadata (compatible with biom-format >= 2.1.5, < 2.2.0).

open('uc-consensus-tax.tsv', 'w')
id_, (tax, fraction, hits) in consensus_assignments.items():
tax = '; '.join(tax)
f.write('\t'.join(map(str, [id_, tax, fraction, hits])))
f.write('\n')
ose()
