  • Error while running clustalw2 in biopython

    Code:
    import re, sys, argparse, os, subprocess
    from subprocess import call
    from Bio import SeqIO
    from Bio import AlignIO
    from Bio.Seq import Seq
    from Bio.Align.Applications import ClustalwCommandline
    
    for key in store_seq:
        fileN=str(key)+".txt" #"1.txt"
        call(["touch",fileN])
        outFile=str(key)+".fasta" #"1.fasta"
        
        with open(fileN,'w') as f:
            f.write(">"+str(store_seq[key])+"\n") # print seq id
            f.write(str(chemo_seq[store_seq[key]] )+"\n")#print sequence
            f.write( ">"+str(brig_orth[store_seq[key]])+ "\n")
            f.write ( str(chemo_seq[brig_orth[store_seq[key]]]) +"\n")
            f.write( ">"+str(reman_orth[store_seq[key]]) +"\n" )
            f.write( str(chemo_seq[reman_orth[store_seq[key]]]) + "\n")
             #run clustalw2 for the file..--->      
    cline=ClustalwCommandline("clustalw2",infile=fileN,type="PROTEIN",output="FASTA",outfile=outFile,quiet)
        cline()
    
        #one key ends..
    Error:cline=ClustalwCommandline("clustalw2",infile=fileN,type="PROTEIN",output="FASTA",outfile=outFile,quiet)
    SyntaxError: non-keyword arg after keyword arg
    In the above code, cline=Clus.. is not indenting with with open, kindly pardon me.

    However, when I run on python shell it runs smoothly. I have clustaw2 in my path. Instead of fileN and outFile, I give file name in double quotes.

    Editor using: emacs
    What is the cause for this?
    How do I correct it?
    Python 2.7

    The error is in your Python syntax, probably you need quiet=True at the end of the line defining cline.

    Right now you have several keyword arguments (key=value) followed by a non-keyword argument (value). In Python any non-keyword arguments (also called positional arguments) must come before any keyword arguments.

      This is a duplicate of https://www.biostars.org/p/107528/ - please don't double post like this without cross linking. It saves duplication of effort.

        Hi maubp,
        Thank you for pointing that.
        I didn't understand this point:

        Right now you have several keyword arguments (key=value) followed by a non-keyword argument (value). In Python any non-keyword arguments (also called positional arguments) must come before any keyword arguments.

        I apologize for multi posts.

          Try this:

          cline=ClustalwCommandline("clustalw2", infile=fileN, type="PROTEIN", output="FASTA", outfile=outFile, quiet=True)

              Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
              by seqadmin




              The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...

              Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
              by seqadmin


              Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...
