Cox (cymon@duke.edu) Uses the Biopython Parser interface: ParserSupport.py Usage: There are two ways of reading an ace file: 1) The function 'read' reads the whole file at once; 2) The function 'parse' reads the file contig after contig. 1) Parse whole ace file at once: from Bio.Sequencing import Ace acefilerecord=Ace.read(open('my_ace_file.ace')) This gives you: acefilerecord.ncontigs (the number of contigs in the ace file) acefilerecord.nreads (the number of reads in the ace file) acefilerecord.contigs[] (one instance of the Contig class for each contig) The Contig class holds the info of the CO tag, CT and WA tags, and all the reads used for this contig in a list of instances of the Read class, e.g.: contig3=acefilerecord.contigs[2] read4=contig3.reads[3] RD_of_read4=read4.rd DS_of_read4=read4.ds CT, WA, RT tags from the end of the file can appear anywhere are automatically sorted into the right place. see _RecordConsumer for details. 2) Or you can iterate over the contigs of an ace file one by one in the ususal way: from Bio.Sequencing import Ace contigs=Ace.parse(open('my_ace_file.ace')) for contig in contigs: print contig.name ... Please note that for memory efficiency, when using the iterator approach, only one contig is kept in memory at once. However, there can be a footer to the ACE file containing WA, CT, RT or WR tags which contain additional meta-data on the contigs. Because the parser doesn't see this data until the final record, it cannot be added to the appropriate records. Instead these tags will be returned with the last contig record. Thus an ace file does not entirerly suit the concept of iterating. If WA, CT, RT, WR tags are needed, the 'read' function rather than the 'parse' function might be more appropriate.
