Alignment Partition Conversion
Convert alignment partition data between different formats. Available partition formats:
- RAxML
- NEXUS
- Charset
Charset is a nexus format that stores partition data in the same file as a NEXUS alignment.
Steps
Install PySEGUL using pip if you haven't done it yet
pip install pysegul
Create a new Python script, import the library, and write python code. Example:
import pysegul
def convert_partitions():
input_paths = [
'tests/partition-data/partition_codon.txt',
'tests/partition-data/partition.txt'
]
# Available input and output format values: raxml, nexus, charset.
input_format = 'raxml'
output_format = 'nexus'
datatype = 'dna'
output_dir = 'tests/output'
convert = pysegul.PartitionConversion(
input_format,
datatype,
output_dir,
output_format,
check_partition
)
convert.from_files(input_paths)
note
Unlike most of other features, partition conversion does not support input directory.
