BioNumPy for Bioinformatics

1. Efficient Sequence Handling

BioNumPy is a package that integrates the efficiency of NumPy with bioinformatics, enabling efficient handling of large biological datasets. Here’s an overview of its top features, code examples, and practical applications.

import bionumpy as bnp

# Load a FASTA file and get the first sequence
sequences = bnp.read_fasta("example.fasta")
first_sequence = sequences[0]

# Reverse complement
reverse_complement = bnp.reverse_complement(first_sequence)

Application: Efficiently handle DNA sequencing data from FASTA files for genomic analyses, such as finding reverse complements in large genomic datasets.

2. One-Hot Encoding

# Convert a DNA sequence to one-hot encoding
one_hot_seq = bnp.one_hot_encode("ACGTGCA")

# Print encoded array
print(one_hot_seq)

Application: One-hot encoding is commonly used as input for machine learning models that predict gene functions, allowing the model to interpret sequence data numerically.

3. Vectorized Operations

# Vectorized slicing to get subsequences
subsequences = sequences[:, :10]  # Get the first 10 nucleotides from each sequence

# Filtering sequences with a specific nucleotide count
high_gc_sequences = sequences[bnp.gc_content(sequences) > 0.5]

Application: Quickly extract or filter specific segments of sequences for analysis, such as selecting sequences with high GC content, which might indicate certain genomic regions.

4. Handling of Biological Data Formats

# Read sequences from FASTQ and write to FASTA
fastq_sequences = bnp.read_fastq("example.fastq")
bnp.write_fasta("converted.fasta", fastq_sequences)

Application: Convert sequencing reads from FASTQ to FASTA format for downstream analysis, like quality control, mapping, or assembly workflows.

5. Alphabet Encoding and Mapping

# Map nucleotide sequences to integer arrays
encoded_seq = bnp.map_to_alphabet("ACGTGCA", alphabet=bnp.dna_alphabet)

# Print encoded sequence
print(encoded_seq)

Application: Quickly convert sequences to integer-encoded arrays for faster comparisons or to use as input to statistical algorithms or machine learning models.

6. GC Content and Sequence Statistics

# Calculate GC content of sequences
gc_content = bnp.gc_content(sequences)
print("GC Content:", gc_content)

Application: Use GC content to identify GC-rich or GC-poor regions, which can indicate functional genomic elements like promoters, exons, or repetitive regions.

7. Parallel Processing Support

from concurrent.futures import ProcessPoolExecutor

# Process sequences in parallel
with ProcessPoolExecutor() as executor:
    results = list(executor.map(bnp.gc_content, sequences))

Application: Efficiently calculate metrics like GC content on large datasets by utilizing multiple CPU cores, reducing processing time.

8. Integration with Other Python Packages

import pandas as pd

# Convert sequences and GC content to DataFrame
gc_df = pd.DataFrame({
    'Sequence': sequences,
    'GC_Content': bnp.gc_content(sequences)
})

# Analyze using Pandas functions
high_gc_df = gc_df[gc_df['GC_Content'] > 0.5]
print(high_gc_df)

Application: Use BioNumPy with Pandas to perform advanced filtering, group-by operations, and aggregations for in-depth genomic analysis and visualization.

9. Support for Sequence Alignment and Similarity Measures

# Calculate sequence similarity
similarity_score = bnp.sequence_similarity("ACGT", "AGGT")
print("Similarity Score:", similarity_score)

Application: Sequence similarity scores are essential in tasks like identifying homologous sequences in different species, detecting conserved motifs, or clustering similar sequences.

10. Sequence Motif Search

# Search for a motif in a DNA sequence
motif = "GATA"
matches = bnp.find_motif(sequences, motif)
print("Motif Matches:", matches)

Application: Motif search is essential for tasks like identifying transcription factor binding sites, RNA binding motifs, or repeat elements within genomic sequences, often used in regulatory genomics. ```
