Convert between different alignment representation formats.
The basic idea behind the converter is that it takes a given format,
converts it into the base Alignment class, and then can return an object
in any other supported format with the info from the basal alignment.
Supported formats are:
o Clustal format (.aln)
o Fasta format (.fasta)

Methods

__init__
_get_base_info
to_clustal
to_fasta
|
|
|
__init__
|
__init__ ( self, to_convert )
Initialize a converter with a given object.
Arguments:
o to_convert - The class which we are going to be converting.
|
|
|
_get_base_info
|
_get_base_info ( self )
Retrieve all of the basal (ie Generic.Alignment) info.
The idea is that this info is present in all of the classes and
this is the information that will be retained in a conversion.
Format specific information will be lost.
|
|
|
to_clustal
|
to_clustal ( self )
Convert the current info into a ClustalAlignment object.
|
|
|
to_fasta
|
to_fasta ( self )
Convert the current info into a FastaAlignment object.
