I have a list of annotated protein sequences with their corresponding IDs. I am trying to create a function that detects consecutive duplicate entries in the first column (protein ID) and returns false or true. I tried this:
df = pd.read_csv('taxonomy.tsv', sep='\t', decimal='.')
value = df.iloc[:, 1].diff().lt(0)
print (value)
I obtain the following error:
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'str' and 'str'
Do you know how can I fix it?
Thank you.

l= list(df.iloc[:,1])
r=[False]
for k in range(1,len(l)):
r.append(l[k]==l[k-1])
print(r)
This should do the trick
Hi! Thanks! I tried your method and obtained the following error: TypeError: '(slice(None, None, None), 1)' is an invalid key
sorry, I forgot the iloc.
