alternative for `seqkit locate` that can locate subsequences/motifs about biobear HOT 12 OPEN

@abearab I updated biobear to support locate_regex as shown above. You can see how it looks through biobear/polars here:

Please let me know if you have any feedback on how that works for your task -- thanks!

Cool, that all sounds good to me, no rush for me. Please just "at" me on this issue if/when you use this for your work if you have any thoughts on improvements and/or questions. Thanks!

from biobear.

It's a very nice package overall, and to your point would make for a good reference to build a "recipe" list from.

To your question, depending on the end goal, there's a somewhat crude way you could accomplish this in biobear, but it may not fit your needs well enough. This relates back to your comments trimming, in that I'm looking at performant alignment / string functions that I can add to biobear to better support these use cases.

For example, use the seqkit example agctggagctacc...

-- if you wanted to match match against an adapter at the start and allow for two mismatches
❯ SELECT levenshtein(substr('agctggagctacc', 1, 5), 'agcaa') dist;
+------+
| dist |
+------+
| 2    |
+------+

You could then add that to a WHERE clause.

Perhaps, I'll add a function that replicates locate, but returns a list of matches... e.g.

SELECT locate(sequence_column, pattern, options...) -> list of structs {seqid, pattern, strand, start, end, matched_pattern}

Then more or less have the returned table be aligned with seqkits example? Is that a useful function.

from biobear.

Thanks @tshauck for your response. I think that's interesting addition (it's interesting that levenshtein distance is already implemented; I didn't know that! I'll need to ask you another question about that but I'll leave this question clear for now).

For the locate question here, I had some specific thought which is described here – https://github.com/abearab/PosSpacer. I just made this a public repo so you can see my algorithm design notes. However, I gave up on that until I could replace my codes with biobear! The preprocessed NGS reads needs to be counted and the location of spacers in sequencing reads would be nice to be reported.

from biobear.

@abearab, cool, that makes sense to me... I just updated biobear on pypi with the new quality score function as well as an alignment_score function that does basic local alignment between two sequences (e.g. e69df6b). I'll explore more how to return alignment position(s) within a string and follow up when I have some more info.

Ah, ok, glad you got it. Looks like I have a little work to do dependency-wise.

Hey @abearab -- apologies for taking a bit to get onto this. The CRAM scanning feature is done, and I go started on the writing (though need some feedback from another developer).

For locate after the fixes to dependencies to afford faster installs recently, I should be able to get back to this tomorrow. What timeline are you working with? Obviously, I want to get something you could use, but don't want to lead you on if it's not feasible given your requirements.

Hi @tshauck, Thanks for looking into this. There is no time pressure on my end (i.e. I might also not test new features in biobear as the top priority). I'm currently working on CLI development ArcInstitute/ScreenPro2#35 but I would like to use locate / locate_regex function for topics like ArcInstitute/ScreenPro2#39.

@tshauck I have issue installing it

(this might be a separate issue, I just created a new VM and fresh OS, so ...)

I had to install this in system level:

sudo apt install GCC

It's a very nice package overall, and to your point would make for a good reference to build a "recipe" list from.

To your question, depending on the end goal, there's a somewhat crude way you could accomplish this in biobear, but it may not fit your needs well enough.

Hi @tshauck – I'm getting back to this discussion and I need to use this functionality to process a dataset. I would be more than happy to test your tool in case you have any new features. What do you recommend to start with? I liked your idea to have that locate function as part of biobear! Let me know what you think, thanks.

Hey @abearab -- apologies for taking a bit to get onto this. The CRAM scanning feature is done, and I go started on the writing (though need some feedback from another developer).

For locate after the fixes to dependencies to afford faster installs recently, I should be able to get back to this tomorrow. What timeline are you working with? Obviously, I want to get something you could use, but don't want to lead you on if it's not feasible given your requirements.

from biobear.

I have something in this branch I hope to finish up tomorrow. It's slightly different than locate as it requires a regex right now, but is relatively close... e.g.

❯ SELECT locate_regex('agctggagctacc', '[a][atcg][c]') AS locate; -- match a, then one of atc or g, then c
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| locate                                                                                              |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| [{start: 1, end: 4, match: agc}, {start: 7, end: 10, match: agc}, {start: 11, end: 14, match: acc}] |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

❯ SELECT locate_regex('agctggagctacc', 'agc') AS locate; -- match only agc
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
| locate                                                            |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
| [{start: 1, end: 4, match: agc}, {start: 7, end: 10, match: agc}] |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+

This is similar to the seqkit example: https://bioinf.shenwei.me/seqkit/usage/#locate

I also hope to add a non-regex based one similar to locate, but it's a little trickier... I'll follow up tomorrow when I know more about how hard/easy it is to add locate w/o the regex.
