class MultipleSeqAlignment(object):
"""Represents a classical multiple sequence alignment (MSA).
By this we mean a collection of sequences (usually shown as rows) which
are all the same length (usually with gap characters for insertions or
padding). The data can then be regarded as a matrix of letters, with well
defined columns.
You would typically create an MSA by loading an alignment file with the
AlignIO module:
>>> from Bio import AlignIO
>>> align = AlignIO.read("Clustalw/opuntia.aln", "clustal")
>>> print(align)
SingleLetterAlphabet() alignment with 7 rows and 156 columns

In some respects you can treat these objects as lists of SeqRecord objects,
each representing a row of the alignment. Iterating over an alignment gives
the SeqRecord object for each row:
>>> len(align)
7
>>> for record in align:
... print("%s %i" % (record.id, len(record)))
...
gi|6273285|gb|AF191659.1|AF191 156
gi|6273284|gb|AF191658.1|AF191 156
gi|6273287|gb|AF191661.1|AF191 156
gi|6273286|gb|AF191660.1|AF191 156
gi|6273290|gb|AF191664.1|AF191 156
gi|6273289|gb|AF191663.1|AF191 156
gi|6273291|gb|AF191665.1|AF191 156
You can also access individual rows as SeqRecord objects via their index:
>>> print(align[0].id)
gi|6273285|gb|AF191659.1|AF191
>>> print(align[-1].id)
gi|6273291|gb|AF191665.1|AF191
And extract columns as strings:
>>> print(align[:, 1])
AAAAAAA
Or, take just the first ten columns as a sub-alignment:
>>> print(align[:, :10])
SingleLetterAlphabet() alignment with 7 rows and 10 columns
TATACATTAA gi|6273285|gb|AF191659.1|AF191

TATACATTAA gi|6273291|gb|AF191665.1|AF191
Combining this alignment slicing with alignment addition allows you to
remove a section of the alignment. For example, taking just the first
and last ten columns:
>>> print(align[:, :10] + align[:, -10:])
SingleLetterAlphabet() alignment with 7 rows and 20 columns

Note - This object replaced the older Alignment object defined in module
Bio.Align.Generic but is not fully backwards compatible with it.
Note - This object does NOT attempt to model the kind of alignments used
in next generation sequencing with multiple sequencing reads which are
much shorter than the alignment, and where there is usually a consensus or
reference sequence with special status.

alphabet, which should be a super-set of the individual
record alphabets. If omitted, a consensus alphabet is
used.

>>> len(right)

The individual rows are SeqRecord objects, and these can be added together. Refer
to the SeqRecord documentation for details of how the annotation is handled. This
example is a special case in that both original alignments shared the same names,
meaning when the rows are added they also get the same name.
Any common annotations are preserved, but differing annotation is lost. This is
the same behaviour used in the SeqRecord annotations and is designed to prevent
accidental propagation of inappropriate values:

{'tool': 'demo'}

"""Access part of the alignment.
Depending on the indices, you can get a SeqRecord object
(representing a single row), a Seq object (for a single columns),
a string (for a single characters) or another alignment
(representing some part or all of the alignment).
align[r,c] gives a single character as a string
align[r] gives a row as a SeqRecord
align[r,:] gives a row as a SeqRecord
align[:,c] gives a column as a Seq (using the alignment's alphabet)
align[:] and align[:,:] give a copy of the alignment
Anything else gives a sub alignment, e.g.
align[0:2] or align[0:2,:] uses only row 0 and 1
align[:,1:3] uses only columns 1 and 2
align[0:2,1:3] uses only rows 0 & 1 and only cols 1 & 2
We'll use the following example alignment here for illustration:
>>> from Bio.Alphabet import generic_dna
>>> from Bio.Seq import Seq
>>> from Bio.SeqRecord import SeqRecord
>>> from Bio.Align import MultipleSeqAlignment
>>> a = SeqRecord(Seq("AAAACGT", generic_dna), id="Alpha")
>>> b = SeqRecord(Seq("AAA-CGT", generic_dna), id="Beta")
>>> c = SeqRecord(Seq("AAAAGGT", generic_dna), id="Gamma")
>>> d = SeqRecord(Seq("AAAACGT", generic_dna), id="Delta")
>>> e = SeqRecord(Seq("AAA-GGT", generic_dna), id="Epsilon")
>>> align = MultipleSeqAlignment([a, b, c, d, e], generic_dna)
You can access a row of the alignment as a SeqRecord using an integer
index (think of the alignment as a list of SeqRecord objects here):
>>> first_record = align[0]
>>> print("%s %s" % (first_record.id, first_record.seq))
Alpha AAAACGT
>>> last_record = align[-1]
>>> print("%s %s" % (last_record.id, last_record.seq))
Epsilon AAA-GGT
You can also access use python's slice notation to create a sub-alignment
containing only some of the SeqRecord objects:
>>> sub_alignment = align[2:5]
>>> print(sub_alignment)
DNAAlphabet() alignment with 3 rows and 7 columns
AAAAGGT Gamma
AAAACGT Delta
AAA-GGT Epsilon
This includes support for a step, i.e. align[start:end:step], which
can be used to select every second sequence:
>>> sub_alignment = align[::2]
>>> print(sub_alignment)
DNAAlphabet() alignment with 3 rows and 7 columns
AAAACGT Alpha
AAAAGGT Gamma
AAA-GGT Epsilon
Or to get a copy of the alignment with the rows in reverse order:
>>> rev_alignment = align[::-1]
>>> print(rev_alignment)
DNAAlphabet() alignment with 5 rows and 7 columns
AAA-GGT Epsilon
AAAACGT Delta
AAAAGGT Gamma
AAA-CGT Beta
AAAACGT Alpha
You can also use two indices to specify both rows and columns. Using simple
integers gives you the entry as a single character string. e.g.
>>> align[3, 4]
'C'
This is equivalent to:
>>> align[3][4]
'C'
or:
>>> align[3].seq[4]
'C'
To get a single column (as a string) use this syntax:
>>> align[:, 4]
'CCGCG'
Or, to get part of a column,
>>> align[1:3, 4]
'CG'
However, in general you get a sub-alignment,
>>> print(align[1:5, 3:6])
DNAAlphabet() alignment with 4 rows and 3 columns
-CG Beta
AGG Gamma
ACG Delta
-GG Epsilon
This should all seem familiar to anyone who has used the NumPy
array or matrix objects.

def sort(self, key=None, reverse=False):
"""Sort the rows (SeqRecord objects) of the alignment in place.
This sorts the rows alphabetically using the SeqRecord object id by
default. The sorting can be controlled by supplying a key function
which must map each SeqRecord to a sort value.
This is useful if you want to add two alignments which use the same
record identifiers, but in a different order. For example,
>>> from Bio.Alphabet import generic_dna
>>> from Bio.Seq import Seq
>>> from Bio.SeqRecord import SeqRecord
>>> from Bio.Align import MultipleSeqAlignment
>>> align1 = MultipleSeqAlignment([
... SeqRecord(Seq("ACGT", generic_dna), id="Human"),
... SeqRecord(Seq("ACGG", generic_dna), id="Mouse"),
... SeqRecord(Seq("ACGC", generic_dna), id="Chicken"),
... ])
>>> align2 = MultipleSeqAlignment([
... SeqRecord(Seq("CGGT", generic_dna), id="Mouse"),
... SeqRecord(Seq("CGTT", generic_dna), id="Human"),
... SeqRecord(Seq("CGCT", generic_dna), id="Chicken"),
... ])
If you simple try and add these without sorting, you get this:
>>> print(align1 + align2)
DNAAlphabet() alignment with 3 rows and 8 columns
ACGTCGGT <unknown id>
ACGGCGTT <unknown id>
ACGCCGCT Chicken
Consult the SeqRecord documentation which explains why you get a
default value when annotation like the identifier doesn't match up.
However, if we sort the alignments first, then add them we get the
desired result:
>>> align1.sort()
>>> align2.sort()
>>> print(align1 + align2)
DNAAlphabet() alignment with 3 rows and 8 columns
ACGCCGCT Chicken
ACGTCGTT Human
ACGGCGGT Mouse
As an example using a different sort order, you could sort on the
GC content of each sequence.
>>> from Bio.SeqUtils import GC
>>> print(align1)
DNAAlphabet() alignment with 3 rows and 4 columns
ACGC Chicken
ACGT Human
ACGG Mouse
>>> align1.sort(key = lambda record: GC(record.seq))
>>> print(align1)
DNAAlphabet() alignment with 3 rows and 4 columns
ACGT Human
ACGC Chicken
ACGG Mouse
There is also a reverse argument, so if you wanted to sort by ID
but backwards:
>>> align1.sort(reverse=True)
>>> print(align1)
DNAAlphabet() alignment with 3 rows and 4 columns
ACGG Mouse
ACGT Human
ACGC Chicken

This provides functions to get global and local alignments between two
sequences. A global alignment finds the best concordance between all
characters in two sequences. A local alignment finds just the
subsequences that align the best.
To perform a pairwise sequence alignment, first create a PairwiseAligner
object. This object stores the match and mismatch scores, as well as the
gap scores. Typically, match scores are positive, while mismatch scores
and gap scores are negative or zero. By default, the match score is 1,
and the mismatch and gap scores are zero. Based on the values of the gap
scores, a PairwiseAligner object automatically chooses the appropriate
alignment algorithm (the Needleman-Wunsch, Smith-Waterman, Gotoh, or
Waterman-Smith-Beyer global or local alignment algorithm).
Calling the "score" method on the aligner with two sequences as arguments
will calculate the alignment score between the two sequences.
Calling the "align" method on the aligner with two sequences as arguments
will return a generator yielding the alignments between the two
sequences.
