pyranges

Package Contents

class pyranges.PyRanges(df=None, chromosomes=None, starts=None, ends=None, strands=None, int64=False, copy_df=True)

Two-dimensional representation of genomic intervals and their annotations.

A PyRanges object must have the columns Chromosome, Start and End. These describe the genomic position and function as implicit row labels. A Strand column is optional and adds strand information to the intervals. Any other columns are allowed and are considered metadata.

Operations between PyRanges align intervals based on their position.

If a PyRanges is built using the arguments chromosomes, starts, ends and optionally strands, all non-scalars must be of the same length.

Parameters:
  • df (pandas.DataFrame or dict of pandas.DataFrame, default None) – The data to be stored in the PyRanges.
  • chromosomes (array-like or scalar value, default None) – The chromosome(s) in the PyRanges.
  • starts (array-like, default None) – The start postions in the PyRanges.
  • ends (array-like, default None) – The end postions in the PyRanges.
  • strands (array-like or scalar value, default None) – The strands in the PyRanges.
  • int64 (bool, default False) – Use np.int64 to represent starts and ends
  • copy_df (bool, default True) – Copy input pandas.DataFrame

apply(self, f, strand=None, as_pyranges=True, nb_cpu=1, **kwargs)

Apply a function to the PyRanges.

Parameters:
  • f (function) – Function to apply on each DataFrame in a PyRanges
  • strand (bool, default None, i.e. auto) – Whether to do operations on chromosome/strand pairs or chromosomes. If None, will use chromosome/strand pairs if the PyRanges is stranded.

  • nb_cpu (int, default 1) – How many cpus to use. Can at most use 1 per chromosome or chromosome/strand tuple. Will only lead to speedups on large datasets.
  • **kwargs – Additional keyword arguments to pass as keyword arguments to f
Returns:

apply_chunks(self, f, as_pyranges=False, nb_cpu=1, **kwargs)

Apply a row-based function to arbitrary partitions of the PyRanges.

apply_chunks speeds up the application of functions where the result is not affected by applying the function to ordered, non-overlapping splits of the data.

Parameters:
  • f (function) – Row-based or associative function to apply on the partitions.
  • as_pyranges (bool, default False) – Whether to return as a PyRanges or dict.
  • nb_cpu (int, default 1) – How many cpus to use. The data is split into nb_cpu partitions.
  • **kwargs – Additional keyword arguments to pass as keyword arguments to f
Returns:

Result of applying f to each partition of the DataFrames in the PyRanges.

Return type:

dict of lists

See also

pyranges.PyRanges.apply_pair()
apply a function to a pair of PyRanges
pyranges.PyRanges.apply_chunks()
apply a row-based function to a PyRanges in parallel

Note

apply_chunks will only lead to speedups on large datasets or slow-running functions. Using it with nb_cpu=1 is pointless; use apply instead.

{'1': [[1009, 1004, 1006]]}
apply_pair(self, other, f, strandedness=None, as_pyranges=True, **kwargs)

Apply a function to a pair of PyRanges.

The function is applied to each chromosome or chromosome/strand pair found in at least one of the PyRanges.

Parameters:
  • f (function) – Row-based or associative function to apply on the DataFrames.
  • strandedness ({None, "same", "opposite", False}, default None, i.e. auto) – Whether to compare PyRanges on the same strand, the opposite or ignore strand information. The default, None, means use “same” if both PyRanges are strande, otherwise ignore the strand information.
  • as_pyranges (bool, default False) – Whether to return as a PyRanges or dict. If f does not return a DataFrame valid for PyRanges, as_pyranges must be False.
  • nb_cpu (int, default 1) – How many cpus to use. Can at most use 1 per chromosome or chromosome/strand tuple. Will only lead to speedups on large datasets.
  • **kwargs – Additional keyword arguments to pass as keyword arguments to f
Returns:

Result of applying f to each partition of the DataFrames in the PyRanges.

Return type:

dict of lists

Give overlapping intervals a common id.

Parameters:
  • strand (bool, default None, i.e. auto) – Whether to ignore strand information if PyRanges is stranded.
  • by (str or list, default None) – Only intervals with an equal value in column(s) by are clustered.
  • slack (int, default 0) – Consider intervals separated by less than slack to be in the same cluster. If slack is negative, intervals overlapping less than slack are not considered to be in the same cluster.
  • nb_cpu (int, default 1) – How many cpus to use. Can at most use 1 per chromosome or chromosome/strand tuple. Will only lead to speedups on large datasets.
Returns:

PyRanges with an ID-column “Cluster” added.

Return type:

intersect(self, other, strandedness=None, how=None, nb_cpu=1)

Return overlapping subintervals.

Returns the segments of the intervals in self which overlap with those in other.

Parameters:
  • other (PyRanges) – PyRanges to intersect.
  • strandedness ({None, "same", "opposite", False}, default None, i.e. auto) – Whether to compare PyRanges on the same strand, the opposite or ignore strand information. The default, None, means use “same” if both PyRanges are strande, otherwise ignore the strand information.
  • how ({None, "first", "last", "containment"}, default None, i.e. all) – What intervals to report. By default reports all overlapping intervals. “containment” reports intervals where the overlapping is contained within it.
  • nb_cpu (int, default 1) – How many cpus to use. Can at most use 1 per chromosome or chromosome/strand tuple. Will only lead to speedups on large datasets.
Returns:

A PyRanges with overlapping subintervals.

join(self, other, strandedness=None, how=None, slack=0, suffix='_b', nb_cpu=1)

Join PyRanges on genomic location.

Parameters:
  • other (PyRanges) – PyRanges to join.
  • strandedness ({None, "same", "opposite", False}, default None, i.e. auto) – Whether to compare PyRanges on the same strand, the opposite or ignore strand information. The default, None, means use “same” if both PyRanges are strande, otherwise ignore the strand information.
  • how ({None, "left", "right"}, default None, i.e. "inner") – How to handle intervals without overlap. None means only keep overlapping intervals. “left” keeps all intervals in self, “right” keeps all intervals in other.
  • slack (int, default 0) – Lengthen intervals in self before joining.
  • suffix (str or tuple, default "_b") – Suffix to give overlapping columns in other.
  • nb_cpu (int, default 1) – How many cpus to use. Can at most use 1 per chromosome or chromosome/strand tuple. Will only lead to speedups on large datasets.
Returns:

A PyRanges appended with columns of another.

Return type:

PyRanges

Notes

The chromosome from other will never be reported as it is always the same as in self.

As pandas did not have NaN for non-float datatypes until recently, “left” and “right” join give non-overlapping rows the value -1 to avoid promoting columns to object. This will change to NaN in a future version as general NaN becomes stable in pandas.

merge(self, strand=None, count=False, count_col='Count', by=None)

Merge overlapping intervals into one.

Parameters:
  • strand (bool, default None, i.e. auto) – Only merge intervals on same strand.
  • count (bool, default False) – Count intervals in each superinterval.
  • count_col (str, default "Count") – Name of column with counts.
  • by (str or list of str, default None) – Only merge intervals with equal values in these columns.
Returns:

PyRanges with superintervals.

Return type:

PyRanges

Notes

To avoid losing metadata, use cluster instead. If you want to perform a reduction function on the metadata, use pandas groupby.

nearest(self, other, strandedness=None, overlap=True, how=None, suffix='_b', nb_cpu=1)

Find closest interval.

Parameters:
  • other (PyRanges) – PyRanges to find nearest interval in.
  • strandedness ({None, "same", "opposite", False}, default None, i.e. auto) – Whether to compare PyRanges on the same strand, the opposite or ignore strand information. The default, None, means use “same” if both PyRanges are strande, otherwise ignore the strand information.
  • overlap (bool, default True) – Whether to include overlaps.
  • how ({None, "upstream", "downstream"}, default None, i.e. both directions) – Whether to only look for nearest in one direction. Always with respect to the PyRanges it is called on.
  • suffix (str, default "_b") – Suffix to give columns with shared name in other.
  • nb_cpu (int, default 1) – How many cpus to use. Can at most use 1 per chromosome or chromosome/strand tuple. Will only lead to speedups on large datasets.
Returns:

A PyRanges with columns representing nearest interval horizontally appended.

Return type:

new_position(self, new_pos, columns=None)

Give new position.

The operation join produces a PyRanges with two pairs of start coordinates and two pairs of end coordinates. This operation uses these to give the PyRanges a new position.

Parameters:
  • new_pos ({"union", "intersection", "swap"}) – Change of coordinates.
  • suffixes (tuple of str, default ("", "_b")) – Suffixes of coordinate-columns to switch.
  • columns (tuple of str, default None, i.e. auto) – The name of the coordinate columns. By default uses the two first columns containing “Start” and the two first columns containing “End”.

overlap(self, other, strandedness=None, how='first', invert=False)

Return overlapping intervals.

Returns the intervals in self which overlap with those in other.

Parameters:
  • other (PyRanges) – PyRanges to find overlaps with.
  • strandedness ({None, "same", "opposite", False}, default None, i.e. auto) – Whether to compare PyRanges on the same strand, the opposite or ignore strand information. The default, None, means use “same” if both PyRanges are strande, otherwise ignore the strand information.
  • how ({"first", "containment", False, None}, default "first") – What intervals to report. By default reports every interval in self with overlap once. “containment” reports all intervals where the overlapping is contained within it.
  • nb_cpu (int, default 1) – How many cpus to use. Can at most use 1 per chromosome or chromosome/strand tuple. Will only lead to speedups on large datasets.
Returns:

A PyRanges with overlapping intervals.

Return type:

PyRanges

set_intersect(self, other, strandedness=None, how=None, new_pos=False, nb_cpu=1)

Return set-theoretical intersection.

Like intersect, but both PyRanges are merged first.

Parameters:
  • other (PyRanges) – PyRanges to set-intersect.
  • strandedness ({None, "same", "opposite", False}, default None, i.e. auto) – Whether to compare PyRanges on the same strand, the opposite or ignore strand information. The default, None, means use “same” if both PyRanges are strande, otherwise ignore the strand information.
  • how ({None, "first", "last", "containment"}, default None, i.e. all) – What intervals to report. By default reports all overlapping intervals. “containment” reports intervals where the overlapping is contained within it.
  • nb_cpu (int, default 1) – How many cpus to use. Can at most use 1 per chromosome or chromosome/strand tuple. Will only lead to speedups on large datasets.
Returns:

A PyRanges with overlapping subintervals.

Return type:

PyRanges

subset(self, f, strand=None, **kwargs)

Return a subset of the rows.

Parameters:
  • f (function) – Function which returns boolean Series equal to length of df.
  • strand (bool, default None, i.e. auto) – Whether to do operations on chromosome/strand pairs or chromosomes. If None, will use chromosome/strand pairs if the PyRanges is stranded.
  • nb_cpu (int, default 1) – How many cpus to use. Can at most use 1 per chromosome or chromosome/strand tuple. Will only lead to speedups on large datasets.
  • **kwargs – Additional keyword arguments to pass as keyword arguments to f

Notes

PyRanges can also be subsetted directly with a boolean Series. This function is slightly faster, but more cumbersome.

Returns:PyRanges subset on rows.
Return type:PyRanges

subtract(self, other, strandedness=None, nb_cpu=1)

Subtract intervals.

Parameters:
  • strandedness ({None, "same", "opposite", False}, default None, i.e. auto) – Whether to compare PyRanges on the same strand, the opposite or ignore strand information. The default, None, means use “same” if both PyRanges are strande, otherwise ignore the strand information.
  • nb_cpu (int, default 1) – How many cpus to use. Can at most use 1 per chromosome or chromosome/strand tuple. Will only lead to speedups on large datasets.

summary(self, to_stdout=True, return_df=False)

Return info.

Count refers to the number of intervals, the rest to the lengths.

The column “pyrange” describes the data as is. “coverage_forward” and “coverage_reverse” describe the data after strand-specific merging of overlapping intervals. “coverage_unstranded” describes the data after merging, without considering the strands.

The row “count” is the number of intervals and “sum” is their total length. The rest describe the lengths of the intervals.

Parameters:
  • to_stdout (bool, default True) – Print summary.
  • return_df (bool, default False) – Return df with summary.
Returns:

Return type:

None or DataFrame with summary.

tile(self, tile_size, overlap=False, strand=None, nb_cpu=1)

Return overlapping genomic tiles.

The genome is divided into bookended tiles of length tile_size and one is returned per overlapping interval.

Parameters:
  • tile_size (int) – Length of the tiles.
  • overlap (bool, default False) – Add column of nucleotide overlap to each tile.
  • strand (bool, default None, i.e. auto) – Whether to do operations on chromosome/strand pairs or chromosomes. If None, will use chromosome/strand pairs if the PyRanges is stranded.
  • nb_cpu (int, default 1) – How many cpus to use. Can at most use 1 per chromosome or chromosome/strand tuple. Will only lead to speedups on large datasets.
  • **kwargs – Additional keyword arguments to pass as keyword arguments to f
Returns:

Tiled PyRanges.

Return type:

PyRanges

to_bigwig(self, path=None, chromosome_sizes=None, rpm=True, divide=None, value_col=None, dryrun=False, chain=False)

Write regular or value coverage to bigwig.

Note

To create one bigwig per strand, subset the PyRanges first.

Parameters:
  • path (str) – Where to write bigwig.
  • chromosome_sizes (PyRanges or dict) – If dict: map of chromosome names to chromosome length.
  • rpm (True) – Whether to normalize data by dividing by total number of intervals and multiplying by 1e6.
  • divide (bool, default False) – (Only useful with value_col) Divide value coverage by regular coverage and take log2.
  • value_col (str, default None) – Name of column to compute coverage of.
  • dryrun (bool, default False) – Return data that would be written without writing bigwigs.
  • chain (bool, default False) – Whether to return the PyRanges after writing.

Note

Requires pybigwig to be installed.

If you require more control over the normalization process, use pyranges.to_bigwig()

See also

pyranges.to_bigwig()
write pandas DataFrame to bigwig.

to_csv(self, path=None, sep=', ', header=True, compression='infer', chain=False)

Write to comma- or other value-separated file.

Parameters:
  • path (str, default None, i.e. return string representation.) – Where to write file.
  • sep (str, default ",") – String of length 1. Field delimiter for the output file.
  • header (bool, default True) – Write out the column names.
  • compression ({‘infer’, ‘gzip’, ‘bz2’, ‘zip’, ‘xz’, None}, default "infer") – Which compression to use. Uses file extension to infer by default.
  • chain (bool, default False) – Whether to return the PyRanges after writing.

Examples

>>> d = {"Chromosome": [1] * 3, "Start": [1, 3, 5], "End": [4, 6, 9], "Feature": ["gene", "exon", "exon"]}
>>> gr = pr.from_dict(d)

1       5       9       exon
<BLANKLINE>
to_gff3(self, path=None, compression='infer', chain=False)

Write to General Feature Format.

Parameters:
  • path (str, default None, i.e. return string representation.) – Where to write file.
  • compression ({‘infer’, ‘gzip’, ‘bz2’, ‘zip’, ‘xz’, None}, default "infer") – Which compression to use. Uses file extension to infer by default.
  • chain (bool, default False) – Whether to return the PyRanges after writing.

Notes

GTF uses a different naming-convention for columns than PyRanges. This is the mapping between column names:

{"seqname": "Chromosome", "source": "Source", "type": "Feature", "start": "Start", "end": "End", "score": "Score", "strand": "Strand", "phase": "Frame", "attributes": "Attribute"}

All other columns are appended as a field in the attribute string.

Nonexisting columns will be added with a ‘.’ to represent the missing values.

pyranges.count_overlaps(grs, features=None, strandedness=None, how=None, nb_cpu=1)

Count overlaps in multiple pyranges.

Parameters:
  • grs (dict of PyRanges) – The PyRanges to use as queries.
  • features (PyRanges, default None) – The PyRanges to use as subject in the query. If None, the PyRanges themselves are used as a query.
  • strandedness ({None, "same", "opposite", False}, default None, i.e. auto) –
    Whether to compare PyRanges on the same strand, the opposite or ignore strand
    information. The default, None, means use “same” if both PyRanges are strande, otherwise ignore the strand information.

    how : {None, “all”, “containment”}, default None, i.e. all

    What intervals to report. By default reports all overlapping intervals. “containment” reports intervals where the overlapping is contained within it.
  • nb_cpu (int, default 1) – How many cpus to use. Can at most use 1 per chromosome or chromosome/strand tuple. Will only lead to speedups on large datasets.

pyranges.read_bam(f, sparse=True, as_df=False, mapq=0, required_flag=0, filter_flag=1540)

Return bam file as PyRanges.

Parameters:
  • f (str) – Path to bam file
  • sparse (bool, default True) – Whether to return only.
  • as_df (bool, default False) – Whether to return as pandas DataFrame instead of PyRanges.
  • mapq (int, default 0) – Minimum mapping quality score.
  • required_flag (int, default 0) – Flags which must be present for the interval to be read.
  • filter_flag (int, default 1540) – Ignore reads with these flags. Default 1540, which means that either the read is unmapped, the read failed vendor or platfrom quality checks, or the read is a PCR or optical duplicate.

Notes

This functionality requires the library bamread. It can be installed with pip install bamread or conda install -c bioconda bamread.

If you just want to create a PyRanges from a tab-delimited bed-like file, use pr.PyRanges(pandas.read_table(f)) instead.

Examples

>>> path = pr.get_example_path("aorta.bed")
>>> pr.read_bed(path, nrows=5)

pyranges.to_bigwig(gr, path, chromosome_sizes)

Write df to bigwig.

Must contain the columns Chromosome, Start, End and Score. All others are ignored.

Parameters:
  • path (str) – Where to write bigwig.
  • chromosome_sizes (PyRanges or dict) – If dict: map of chromosome names to chromosome length.

Examples

Extended example with how to prepare your data for writing bigwigs:

>>> d =  {'Chromosome': ['chr1', 'chr1', 'chr1'], 'Start': [1, 4, 6],
...       'End': [7, 8, 10], 'Strand': ['+', '-', '-'],
...       'Value': [10, 20, 30]}
>>> import pyranges as pr
>>> gr = pr.from_dict(d)
>>> hg19 = pr.data.chromsizes()
>>> print(hg19)

Unstranded PyRanges object has 25 rows and 3 columns from 25 chromosomes.
For printing, the PyRanges was sorted on Chromosome.

Overlapping intervals are invalid in bigwigs:

>>> to_bigwig(gr, "outpath.bw", hg19)
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
AssertionError: Can only write one strand at a time. Use an unstranded PyRanges or subset on strand first.
>>> to_bigwig(gr["-"], "outpath.bw", hg19)
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
AssertionError: Intervals must not overlap.
