Description

Samtools provides a function "faidx" (FAsta InDeX), which creates a small flat index file ".fai" allowing for fast random access to any subsequence in the indexed FASTA file, while loading a minimal amount of the file in to memory. This python module implements pure Python classes for indexing, retrieval, and in-place modification of FASTA files using a samtools compatible index. The pyfaidx module is API compatible with the pygr_ seqdb module. A command-line script "faidx_" is installed alongside the pyfaidx module, and facilitates complex manipulation of FASTA files without any programming knowledge.

Usage

.. code:: python

>>> from pyfaidx import Fasta
>>> genes = Fasta('tests/data/genes.fasta')
>>> genes
Fasta("tests/data/genes.fasta")  # set strict_bounds=True for bounds checking

Acts like a dictionary.

.. code:: python

>>> genes.keys()
('AB821309.1', 'KF435150.1', 'KF435149.1', 'NR_104216.1', 'NR_104215.1', 'NR_104212.1', 'NM_001282545.1', 'NM_001282543.1', 'NM_000465.3', 'NM_001282549.1', 'NM_001282548.1', 'XM_005249645.1', 'XM_005249644.1', 'XM_005249643.1', 'XM_005249642.1', 'XM_005265508.1', 'XM_005265507.1', 'XR_241081.1', 'XR_241080.1', 'XR_241079.1')

>>> genes['NM_001282543.1'][200:230]
>NM_001282543.1:201-230
CTCGTTCCGCGCCCGCCATGGAACCGGATG

>>> genes['NM_001282543.1'][200:230].seq
'CTCGTTCCGCGCCCGCCATGGAACCGGATG'

>>> genes['NM_001282543.1'][200:230].name
'NM_001282543.1'

# Start attributes are 1-based
>>> genes['NM_001282543.1'][200:230].start
201

# End attributes are 0-based
>>> genes['NM_001282543.1'][200:230].end
230

>>> genes['NM_001282543.1'][200:230].fancy_name
'NM_001282543.1:201-230'

>>> len(genes['NM_001282543.1'])
5466

Note that start and end coordinates of Sequence objects are [1, 0]. This can be changed to [0, 0] by passing one_based_attributes=False to Fasta or Faidx. This argument only affects the Sequence .start/.end attributes, and has no effect on slicing coordinates.

Indexes like a list:

.. code:: python

>>> genes[0][:50]
>AB821309.1:1-50
ATGGTCAGCTGGGGTCGTTTCATCTGCCTGGTCGTGGTCACCATGGCAAC

Slices just like a string:

.. code:: python

>>> genes['NM_001282543.1'][200:230][:10]
>NM_001282543.1:201-210
CTCGTTCCGC

>>> genes['NM_001282543.1'][200:230][::-1]
>NM_001282543.1:230-201
GTAGGCCAAGGTACCGCCCGCGCCTTGCTC

>>> genes['NM_001282543.1'][200:230][::3]
>NM_001282543.1:201-230
CGCCCCTACA

>>> genes['NM_001282543.1'][:]
>NM_001282543.1:1-5466
CCCCGCCCCT........
  • Slicing start and end coordinates are 0-based, just like Python sequences.

Complements and reverse complements just like DNA

.. code:: python

>>> genes['NM_001282543.1'][200:230].complement
>NM_001282543.1 (complement):201-230
GAGCAAGGCGCGGGCGGTACCTTGGCCTAC

>>> genes['NM_001282543.1'][200:230].reverse
>NM_001282543.1:230-201
GTAGGCCAAGGTACCGCCCGCGCCTTGCTC

>>> -genes['NM_001282543.1'][200:230]
>NM_001282543.1 (complement):230-201
CATCCGGTTCCATGGCGGGCGCGGAACGAG

Fasta objects can also be accessed using method calls:

.. code:: python

>>> genes.get_seq('NM_001282543.1', 201, 210)
>NM_001282543.1:201-210
CTCGTTCCGC

>>> genes.get_seq('NM_001282543.1', 201, 210, rc=True)
>NM_001282543.1 (complement):210-201
GCGGAACGAG

Spliced sequences can be retrieved from a list of [start, end] coordinates: TODO update this section

.. code:: python

# new in v0.5.1
segments = [[1, 10], [50, 70]]
>>> genes.get_spliced_seq('NM_001282543.1', segments)
>gi|543583786|ref|NM_001282543.1|:1-70
CCCCGCCCCTGGTTTCGAGTCGCTGGCCTGC

.. _keyfn:

Custom key functions provide cleaner access:

.. code:: python

>>> from pyfaidx import Fasta
>>> genes = Fasta('tests/data/genes.fasta', key_function = lambda x: x.split('.')[0])
>>> genes.keys()
dict_keys(['NR_104212', 'NM_001282543', 'XM_005249644', 'XM_005249645', 'NR_104216', 'XM_005249643', 'NR_104215', 'KF435150', 'AB821309', 'NM_001282549', 'XR_241081', 'KF435149', 'XR_241079', 'NM_000465', 'XM_005265508', 'XR_241080', 'XM_005249642', 'NM_001282545', 'XM_005265507', 'NM_001282548'])
>>> genes['NR_104212'][:10]
>NR_104212:1-10
CCCCGCCCCT

You can specify a character to split names on, which will generate additional entries:

.. code:: python

>>> from pyfaidx import Fasta
>>> genes = Fasta('tests/data/genes.fasta', split_char='.', duplicate_action="first") # default duplicate_action="stop"
>>> genes.keys()
dict_keys(['.1', 'NR_104212', 'NM_001282543', 'XM_005249644', 'XM_005249645', 'NR_104216', 'XM_005249643', 'NR_104215', 'KF435150', 'AB821309', 'NM_001282549', 'XR_241081', 'KF435149', 'XR_241079', 'NM_000465', 'XM_005265508', 'XR_241080', 'XM_005249642', 'NM_001282545', 'XM_005265507', 'NM_001282548'])

If your key_function or split_char generates duplicate entries, you can choose what action to take:

.. code:: python

# new in v0.4.9
>>> genes = Fasta('tests/data/genes.fasta', split_char="|", duplicate_action="longest")
>>> genes.keys()
dict_keys(['gi', '563317589', 'dbj', 'AB821309.1', '', '557361099', 'gb', 'KF435150.1', '557361097', 'KF435149.1', '543583796', 'ref', 'NR_104216.1', '543583795', 'NR_104215.1', '543583794', 'NR_104212.1', '543583788', 'NM_001282545.1', '543583786', 'NM_001282543.1', '543583785', 'NM_000465.3', '543583740', 'NM_001282549.1', '543583738', 'NM_001282548.1', '530384540', 'XM_005249645.1', '530384538', 'XM_005249644.1', '530384536', 'XM_005249643.1', '530384534', 'XM_005249642.1', '530373237','XM_005265508.1', '530373235', 'XM_005265507.1', '530364726', 'XR_241081.1', '530364725', 'XR_241080.1', '530364724', 'XR_241079.1'])

Filter functions (returning True) limit the index:

.. code:: python

# new in v0.3.8
>>> from pyfaidx import Fasta
>>> genes = Fasta('tests/data/genes.fasta', filt_function = lambda x: x[0] == 'N')
>>> genes.keys()
dict_keys(['NR_104212', 'NM_001282543', 'NR_104216', 'NR_104215', 'NM_001282549', 'NM_000465', 'NM_001282545', 'NM_001282548'])
>>> genes['XM_005249644']
KeyError: XM_005249644 not in tests/data/genes.fasta.

Or just get a Python string:

.. code:: python

>>> from pyfaidx import Fasta
>>> genes = Fasta('tests/data/genes.fasta', as_raw=True)
>>> genes
Fasta("tests/data/genes.fasta", as_raw=True)

>>> genes['NM_001282543.1'][200:230]
CTCGTTCCGCGCCCGCCATGGAACCGGATG

You can make sure that you always receive an uppercase sequence, even if your fasta file has lower case

.. code:: python

>>> from pyfaidx import Fasta
>>> reference = Fasta('tests/data/genes.fasta.lower', sequence_always_upper=True)
>>> reference['gi|557361099|gb|KF435150.1|'][1:70]

>gi|557361099|gb|KF435150.1|:2-70
TGACATCATTTTCCACCTCTGCTCAGTGTTCAACATCTGACAGTGCTTGCAGGATCTCTCCTGGACAAA

You can also perform line-based iteration, receiving the sequence lines as they appear in the FASTA file:

.. code:: python

>>> from pyfaidx import Fasta
>>> genes = Fasta('tests/data/genes.fasta')
>>> for line in genes['NM_001282543.1']:
...   print(line)
CCCCGCCCCTCTGGCGGCCCGCCGTCCCAGACGCGGGAAGAGCTTGGCCGGTTTCGAGTCGCTGGCCTGC

CGATGCCGGATAATCGGCAGCCGAGGAACCGGCAGCCGAGGATCCGCTCCGGGAACGAGCCTCGTTCCGC
...

Sequence names are truncated on any whitespace. This is a limitation of the indexing strategy. However, full names can be recovered:

.. code:: python

# new in v0.3.7
>>> from pyfaidx import Fasta
>>> genes = Fasta('tests/data/genes.fasta')
>>> for record in genes:
...   print(record.name)
...   print(record.long_name)
...

...

# new in v0.4.9
>>> from pyfaidx import Fasta
>>> genes = Fasta('tests/data/genes.fasta', read_long_names=True)
>>> for record in genes:
...   print(record.name)
...

gi|557361097|gb|KF435149.1| Homo sapiens MDM4 protein variant G (MDM4) mRNA, complete cds

Records can be accessed efficiently as numpy arrays:

.. code:: python

# new in v0.5.4
>>> from pyfaidx import Fasta
>>> import numpy as np
>>> genes = Fasta('tests/data/genes.fasta')
>>> np.asarray(genes['NM_001282543.1'])
array(['C', 'C', 'C', ..., 'A', 'A', 'A'], dtype='|S1')

Sequence can be buffered in memory using a read-ahead buffer for fast sequential access:

.. code:: python

>>> from timeit import timeit
>>> fetch = "genes['NM_001282543.1'][200:230]"
>>> read_ahead = "import pyfaidx; genes = pyfaidx.Fasta('tests/data/genes.fasta', read_ahead=10000)"
>>> no_read_ahead = "import pyfaidx; genes = pyfaidx.Fasta('tests/data/genes.fasta')"
>>> string_slicing = "genes = {}; genes['NM_001282543.1'] = 'N'*10000"

>>> timeit(fetch, no_read_ahead, number=10000)
0.2204863309962093
>>> timeit(fetch, read_ahead, number=10000)
0.1121859749982832
>>> timeit(fetch, string_slicing, number=10000)
0.0033553699977346696

Read-ahead buffering can reduce runtime by 1/2 for sequential accesses to buffered regions.

.. role:: red

If you want to modify the contents of your FASTA file in-place, you can use the mutable argument. Any portion of the FastaRecord can be replaced with an equivalent-length string. :red:Warning: This will change the contents of your file immediately and permanently:

.. code:: python

>>> genes = Fasta('tests/data/genes.fasta', mutable=True)
>>> type(genes['NM_001282543.1'])
<class 'pyfaidx.MutableFastaRecord'>

>>> genes['NM_001282543.1'][:10]
>NM_001282543.1:1-10
CCCCGCCCCT
>>> genes['NM_001282543.1'][:10] = 'NNNNNNNNNN'
>>> genes['NM_001282543.1'][:15]
>NM_001282543.1:1-15
NNNNNNNNNNCTGGC

The FastaVariant class provides a way to integrate single nucleotide variant calls to generate a consensus sequence.

.. code:: python

# new in v0.4.0
>>> consensus = FastaVariant('tests/data/chr22.fasta', 'tests/data/chr22.vcf.gz', het=True, hom=True)
RuntimeWarning: Using sample NA06984 genotypes.

>>> consensus['22'].variant_sites

>>> consensus['22'].variant_sites
(16042793, 29187373, 29187448, 29194610, 29821332)

You can also specify paths using pathlib.Path objects.

.. code:: python

#new in v0.7.1
>>> from pyfaidx import Fasta
>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> genes = Fasta(Path('tests/data/genes.fasta'))
>>> genes
Fasta("tests/data/genes.fasta")

Accessing fasta files from filesystem_spec <https://filesystem-spec.readthedocs.io>_ filesystems:

.. code:: python

# new in v0.7.0
# pip install fsspec s3fs
>>> import fsspec
>>> from pyfaidx import Fasta
>>> of = fsspec.open("s3://broad-references/hg19/v0/Homo_sapiens_assembly19.fasta", anon=True)
>>> genes = Fasta(of)

.. _faidx:

It also provides a command-line script:

cli script: faidx


.. code:: bash

Similar syntax as ``samtools faidx``


A lower-level Faidx class is also available:

.. code:: python

    >>> from pyfaidx import Faidx
    >>> fa = Faidx('genes.fa')  # can return str with as_raw=True
    >>> fa.index
    OrderedDict([('AB821309.1', IndexRecord(rlen=3510, offset=12, lenc=70, lenb=71)), ('KF435150.1', IndexRecord(rlen=481, offset=3585, lenc=70, lenb=71)),... ])

    >>> fa.index['AB821309.1'].rlen
    3510

    fa.fetch('AB821309.1', 1, 10)  # these are 1-based genomic coordinates
    >AB821309.1:1-10
    ATGGTCAGCT


-  If the FASTA file is not indexed, when ``Faidx`` is initialized the
   ``build_index`` method will automatically run, and
   the index will be written to "filename.fa.fai" with ``write_fai()``.
   where "filename.fa" is the original FASTA file.
-  Start and end coordinates are 1-based.

Support for compressed FASTA
----------------------------

``pyfaidx`` can create and read ``.fai`` indices for FASTA files that have
been compressed using the `bgzip <https://www.htslib.org/doc/bgzip.html>`_
tool from `samtools <http://www.htslib.org/>`_. ``bgzip`` writes compressed
data in a ``BGZF`` format. ``BGZF`` is ``gzip`` compatible, consisting of
multiple concatenated ``gzip`` blocks, each with an additional ``gzip``
header making it possible to build an index for rapid random access. I.e.,
files compressed with ``bgzip`` are valid ``gzip`` and so can be read by
``gunzip``.  See `this description
<http://pydoc.net/Python/biopython/1.66/Bio.bgzf/>`_ for more details on
``bgzip``.
