genomics overlap python error

I am trying to do some interval range operations on two files with folowing conditions check if chrom is equal, then check if my start and end of of co0rdinatefile is within or equal to start and end of gene_annotation file (condition if the strand is "+" the start and end will be for eg 10-20, if its "-" it will be 20-10) , if match print start end strand from coordinate and gene_id, gene_name from geneannotation file. (for representation purpose I have head annoataion file )

number of rows in annotation file ~50000 number of rows in coordinated file ~200,000

gene_annotationfile

import csv 

with open('~/coordintes.txt', 'r') as source:
     coordinates = list(csv.reader(source, delimiter="\t"))
#      print coordinates


with open('~/gene_final_anno.csv', 'r') as source:
     annotations = list(csv.reader(source, delimiter=","))
#     print annotations

for index,line in enumerate(coordinates):
    for index2,line2 in enumerate(annotations):
#         print line2[1]
        if line[0] == line2[0] and line[3] == "-":
           line2[1] >= line[1] and line2[2] <= line[2]
        else:
            line[1] <= line2[1] and line2[2] >= line[2]

        print "%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\t%s" % (line[0],line[1],line[2],line[5],line2[4],line2[5])
        break

this is the output that I get 

chrom   start   end strand  gene_id gene_name
4   3356893 3359510 +   gene_id gene_name
4   3363294 3424125 -   gene_id gene_name
4   3413587 3424125 -   gene_id gene_name
4   3424201 3425964 -   gene_id gene_name
4   3424201 3424529 -   gene_id gene_name
4   3424197 3425964 -   gene_id gene_name

Not sure where am I going wrong any help is appreciated

Why are you using enumerate? I don't see where you use those index and index2 variables.

It's to me not really clear what you aim to achieve, but I have the idea that more appropriate tools exist rather than rolling your own solution.

There might be solution using the htseq-count python module, or similar.

htseq count uses sorted bam (by name) and gtf right? how can I use it for such operations?

In your script, you forgot to convert start and end coordinates into integer numbers. If you show us a sample of your query files (i.e. coordinates, gene_final_anno.csv) we would probably be more helpful.

@a.zielezinski How can I modify the script in a case where a co ordinate maps to two or more genes? for example

coordinate

1   4831213 4857551 +

output

1   4857551 4831213 +   ENSMUSG00000025903  Lypla1
1   4857551 4831213 +   ENSMUSG00000033813  Tcea1

Since the script already reports cases where a coordinate maps to multiple genes, the easiest way to get to your desired output would be to write another script that would reformat existing output.

written by Andrzej Zielezinski Andrzej Zielezinski

thanks two questions regarding this

1) how do i write the output to a file from your script 2) to get desired output from what i understood multiple keys has multiple values need to write a code to set multiple key and values from reading on stackoverflow 

     out["chrom"].update(dict(zip(["start", "end", "strand"] #this would add multiple keys to dict

is this approach correct?

• 0 views • link
written by novicebioinforesearcher • novicebioinforesearcher

To write the output to a file, just run the script and redirect the output to a file (python script.py > output.txt).

To combine cases where a coordinate maps to multiple genes use something like this:

d = {}
fh = open('output.txt')
for line in fh:
    sl = line.split()
    chrom = sl[0]
    st = int(sl[1])
    en = int(sl[2])
    strand = sl[3]
    gene_name = sl[4]
    gene_id = sl[5]
    key = (chrom, st, en, strand)
    if key not in d:
        d[key] = [[], []]
    d[key][0].append(gene_name)
    d[key][1].append(gene_id)
fh.close()

for key in d:
    l = [key[0], key[1], key[2], key[3], ",".join(d[key][0]), ",".join(d[key][1])]
    print('{}\t{}\t{}\t{}\t{}\t{}'.format(*l))

From the output.txt:

1   4857551 4831213 +   ENSMUSG00000025903  Lypla1
1   4857551 4831213 +   ENSMUSG00000033813  Tcea1

17  71223692    71274336    -   ENSMUSG00000085299  Gm16627

You will get the following output:

17  71223692    71274336    -   ENSMUSG00000085299  Gm16627
1   4857551 4831213 +   ENSMUSG00000025903,ENSMUSG00000033813   Lypla1,Tcea1

I had a question why is that when then strand is positive the start and end is inverted meaning the start is greater than end, for example the output you showed above

is'nt suppose to be

Oh i see it is because of this line is it?

st, en = [cst, cen] if cstr == '-' else [cen, cst]

when printing out is there a way to print start less than end?

• 0 views • link
written by novicebioinforesearcher • novicebioinforesearcher

Sorry for that, I made a mistake. It should be: st, en = [cst, cen] if cstr == '+' else [cen, cst]. I also corrected the answer. If you want start always less than end (regardless of the strand), just change this line to st, en = cst, cen.

Thank you...much appreciated. I was so fascinated by pandas was trying to fix it by using that (not sure if logic is correct)

import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_clipboard()
df.columns = ["chrom", "start", "end", "strand", "gene_id", "gene_name"]
df
if df.strand == '+':
     df['start_1'] = df.end & df['end_1'] = df.start

I'm not sure, but this basically sounds like a Granges findoverlaps or subsetbyoverlaps job. If I had to guess, I would say it's something with that enumerate(). I would create csvs that are compatible with Granges via dplyr and just subsetbyoverlaps https://kasperdanielhansen.github.io/genbioconductor/html/GenomicRanges_GRanges_Usage.html
