Package Bio :: Package SeqIO :: Module AbiIO

Module AbiIO

Bio.SeqIO parser for the ABI format.

ABI is the format used by Applied Biosystem's sequencing machines to store sequencing results.

_abi_trim(seq_record)

source code

Trims the sequence using Richard Mott's modified trimming algorithm.

seq_record - SeqRecord object to be trimmed.

Trimmed bases are determined from their segment score, which is a cumulative sum of each base's score. Base scores are calculated from their quality values.

_parse_tag_data(elem_code, elem_num, raw_data)

source code

Returns single data value.

elem_code - What kind of data elem_num - How many data points raw_data - abi file object from which the tags would be unpacked
