Hello Biostars, I used to use python but I'm not good at it thus I need your help. I'm trying parsing a tab file resulting from the functional annotation using EggNOG-mapper. here.

I want to explore all the essential information and make some plots from this data.

what I did as far is read the file as Datafaram

import pandas as pd

adding headers

data =pd.read_csv("test.emapper.annotations.tab",delimiter="\t",  names=["query","seed_ortholog","evalue","score",
                 "eggNOG_OGs","max_annot_lvl","COG_category","Description",
                 'Preferred_name','GOs','EC','KEGG_ko','KEGG_Pathway','KEGG_Module',
                 'KEGG_Reaction','KEGG_rclass','BRITE','KEGG_TC','CAZy','BiGG_Reaction','PFAMs']);


data =data.rename(columns = {"Preferred_name": "Gene"})
df=data[["seed_ortholog","evalue","Description","Gene","GOs"]]
df= df.sort_values("evalue", ascending= False).reset_index(drop= True)
df
    seed_ortholog   evalue  Description Gene    GOs

Fist I need help with the "seed_ortholog" I want to split it into two columns ("taxid ", "term_name") as you can see each string compose of two parts the prefix from the example is the taxonomy id and the annotations id most of them ensembl ids of NCBI gene id. ..

I tried to do

data["seed_ortholog"].str.split(".", n = 1, expand = False)

out

any help regarding this small issue. Thank you
