[Biopython] Question about Nexus Format Converting

[David Winter]

Hi cacaucenturion, 

The Nexus module will let you do this. You'd create an empty nexus object, read your existing file into, then write out the nexus object specifying that you want a non-interleaved format (which is actually the default):

from Bio.Nexus import Nexus

new_ali = Nexus.Nexus()
new_ali.read("../biopython/Tests/Nexus/test_Nexus_input.nex") #interleaved nexus file in test suite
new_ali.write_nexus_data("test_sequential.nex", interleave=False)

Hope that helps, 
David

Hi all,

Does anyone know if it is possible to convert interleaved nexus format file to non-interleaved nexus format file in Biopython? Thanks!

Sincerely yours,
Cacau
