Hi all,
I am doing some DNA and protein analysis and I have arranged all my scripts
in one module. It contains two classes: DnaAnalysis and ProteinAnalysis.
Both classes use a sequence object as input (from Seq.py).
DnaAnalysis: calculates nucleotide content, GC content,codon adaptation
index, translation to protein (with Tools.translate) and gives access to the
ProteinAnalysis class.
ProteinAnalysis: calculates amino acid content, molecular weight, protein
stability, flexibility, hydrophobicity, pi.
I also have a module for calculating the area under the curve. It is useful,
for instance, to know which fraction of a protein is hydrophobic and which
is hydrophilic. It is more informative than averaging. I am not sure if I
should include this.
Let me know what to do next. I am not sure how it works for submitting
modules and what is the procedure. Is someone checking the code?
