Flexible feature arithmetic, seamlessly integrated with nested coordinate systems.
Georg Cantor (1845-1918) was a German mathematician who created set theory. BioCantor uses set theoretic concepts, though Cantor's work extended into much more interesting realms than are used here.
Cantor devised the elegant diagonal argument proving that there is more than one level of infinity.
Also check out the Cantor set , which could exist as a genomic feature in a universe where the building blocks of genetic material are uncountably infinite.
BioCantor can be added to a Python environment as follows.
From PyPi:
pip install BioCantor
Latest release from GitHub:
pip install git+https://github.com/InscriptaLabs/BioCantor
From source code:
cd BioCantor
pip install .
Full package documentation is available on Read The Docs.
Install as above but with libraries and docs extras:
pip install -e .[libraries,docs]
You will also need to have pandoc installed. This can
be installed using conda with
conda install -y pandoc
You can now build the docs with:
cd docs
make html
Bug reports, support requests and feature requests should be submitted as issues on GitHub. We will make a reasonable effort to address issues dependent on available resources.
Users are invited to submit pull requests. Maintainers reserve the right to close PRs if the requested change is deemed inappropriate for the library or if resources are not available to sufficiently review the PR.
Submissions should follow the following guidelines:
- Code must adhere to PEP 8 (as enforced by Flake8) and Black style conventions with maximum line length of 120.
- New public elements must be documented with NumPy style docstrings
- Comprehensive unit tests must be added for new features.
- Full test suite must pass. It is recommended that you run the full test suite locally before pushing to GitHub.
