SeqLike: Flexible Biological Sequence Objects in Python

SeqLike is a Python package that lets you conveniently manipulate biological sequences. It solves some of the following problems:

1. Sequence representation inter-conversion (AA vs. NT, and str/Seq/SeqRecord/arrays) via a single object's API.
2. Processing a collection of sequences easily in Python without needing to switch out to a shell.
3. Convenience APIs to visualize of a collection of sequences.

Installation

You can install SeqLike from PyPI:

pip install seqlike

SeqLike can also be installed from conda-forge

conda install -c conda-forge seqlike

Usage/Examples

Please see the 5-minute tutorial notebook for a quick guide on how to use SeqLike.

Features

• Interconversion between AA and NT forms.
• Pandas accessor methods for manipulating collections of sequences.
• Convenient multiple sequence alignment and plotting without switching to a shell.
• BioPython SeqRecord behaviour.
