The GeneMaster project is a comprehensive bioinformatics package designed to facilitate the analysis and manipulation of genetic sequences, including DNA and RNA. It provides a robust set of data types and operations tailored to genomic research, allowing users to perform tasks such as reverse complement generation, GC content calculation, RNA transcription, and protein translation. Additionally, it includes advanced algorithms for solving problems like the shortest superstring, longest common subsequence, and motif finding. The package also supports parsing FASTA format files and includes thorough testing modules to ensure accuracy and reliability in genetic sequence analysis.
To get started with GeneMaster, follow these steps to install the package and its dependencies.
The easiest way to install GeneMaster is through pip. Open your terminal or command prompt and
pip install GeneMaster
- Manage DNA Sequences with Ease: Effortlessly handle and manipulate DNA sequences with straightforward methods.
from GeneMaster import DNA
dna_seq = DNA('AGCCT')
dna_seq2 = DNA('CGATGA')
print(dna_seq.sequence)
print(dna_seq.complement)
print(dna_seq.length)
print(dna_seq+dna_seq2)Output:
AGCCT
AGGCT
5
AGCCTCGATGA
- Visualize DNA Sequences: Generate a visual representation of the DNA sequence to aid in understanding.
from GeneMaster import DNA
dna = DNA('AGCCT')
print(dna.visualize)Output:
5' A-G-C-C-T 3'
│ │ │ │ │ 5
3' T-C-G-G-A 5'
- Examine RNA Properties: Similar to DNA, view various properties of RNA sequences.
from GeneMaster import RNA
rna = RNA('AGUUACU')
print(rna.sequence)
print(rna.length)Output:
AGUUACU
7
- Visualize RNA Sequences: Create a visual representation of the RNA sequence for better analysis.
from GeneMaster import RNA
rna = RNA('AGUUACU')
print(rna.visualize)Output:
5' A-G-U-U-A-C-U 3'
