rna-tools

a toolbox to analyze sequences, structures and simulations of RNA (and way more!)

Look for other our projects at https://github.com/RNA-Puzzles.

Introduction
———————————————————————————————————————-

rna-tools is a core library and a set of programs to run various Python functions related to work, initially, with PDB files of RNA structures, but right now this is a huge toolbox of tools to process various types of RNA data (started around 2013).

That is why in 2019, after publishing our U6 Molecular Cell paper I decided to rename the package to rna-tools. Simply, various tools to work with RNA data: sequences, alignments, structures, trajectories. If you want access the old version see the branch.

The software is used by me in my servers NPDock (RNA/DNA-protein docking method, http://genesilico.pl/NPDock/) and SimRNAweb (RNA 3D structure prediction method, http://iimcb.genesilico.pl/SimRNAweb/) and mqapRNA (RNA 3D quality control, http://iimcb.genesilico.pl/mqapRNA/) and other projects EvoClustRNA and RNA-Puzzles-Normalized-submissions.

What is fun here?

rna-tools (formerly rna-pdb-tools) is a packages of shell utils that are using the common core library. You can also access functions of the library from your scripts.

A command-line tools:

shell $ rna_pdb_tools.py --is-pdb input/1I9V_A.pdb True $ rna_pdb_tools.py --is-pdb input/image.png False

or from a script:

python >>> from rna_tools_lib import * >>> s = RNAStructure('input/1I9V_A.pdb') >>> s.is_pdb() True

or from a Jupyter Notebook:

Fig. Fetch an alignment and generate an RChie plot for it. See more https://github.com/mmagnus/rna-tools/blob/master/rna_tools/tools/rna_alignment/rna_alignment.ipynb

19-10-22 We made a searchable index of all the tools. There are around 100 functionalities implemented, enjoy it! Let us know if something is missing or unclear!

19-10-10 rna-tools finally works with Python 3, to get Python 2 version go to this branch However, not all tools can be used with Python 3, for example, ClaRNA is written in Python 2 and we can do nothing about it. So, for now, we suggest using Conda or something else that supports kind of hybrid Python2/Python3 environments. Read more on this here and here

                        please use '' for pattern file recognition, this is a hack to deal with folders with
                        thousands of models, if you used only *.pdb then the terminal will complain that you
                        selected to many files.

  --pdb2cif             [PyMOL Python package required]
  --mdr                 get structures ready for MD (like rpr but without first)
RNAPUZZLE-READY:
  --get-rnapuzzle-ready
                        get RNApuzzle ready (keep only standard atoms).'
                        Be default it does not renumber residues, use --renumber-residues
                        [requires BioPython]
  --rpr                 alias to get_rnapuzzle ready)
CAN BE COMBINED WITH:
  --keep-hetatm         keep hetatoms
  --inplace             in place edit the file! [experimental,
                        only for get_rnapuzzle_ready, --delete, --get-ss, --get-seq, --edit-pdb]
  --here                save a file next to the original file with auto suffix
                        for --extract it's .extr.pdb
  --suffix SUFFIX       when used with --inplace allows you to change a name of a new file, --suffix del will give <file>_del.pdb (mind added _)
  --replace-hetatm      replace 'HETATM' with 'ATOM' [tested only with --get-rnapuzzle-ready]
  --dont-report-missing-atoms
                        used only with --get-rnapuzzle-ready
  --backbone-only       used only with --get-rnapuzzle-ready, keep only backbone (= remove bases)
  --no-backbone         used only with --get-rnapuzzle-ready, remove atoms of backbone (define as P OP1 OP2 O5')
  --bases-only          used only with --get-rnapuzzle-ready, keep only atoms of bases

Tricks:

$ rna_pdb_tools.py --delete A:48-52 --suffix=noloop --inplace
10_rp17c.out.14.pdb
10_rp17c.out.14_out.pdb
[..]
$ rna_pdb_tools.py --get-rnapuzzle-ready --inplace *.pdb

.. keep original structures in original and use rpr:

➜  bujnicki_server_ss for i in original/*.pdb; do rna_pdb_tools.py --get-rnapuzzle-ready $i > ${i/.pdb/_rpr.pdb}; done
➜  bujnicki_server_ss ls
17pz_withSS_all_thrs6.00A_clust01-000001_AA_rpr.pdb 17pz_withSS_all_thrs6.00A_clust06-000001_AA_rpr.pdb

17pz_withSS_all_thrs6.00A_clust05-000001_AA_rpr.pdb original

.. or to get structures ready for SimRNA/SimRNAweb use :

$ for i in *pdb; do rna_pdb_tools.py --get-rnapuzzle-ready $i >  ${i/.pdb/_srr.pdb}; done
# at some point there was a seperate function --get_simrna_ready but there is no need for it
# simply use --get-rnapuzzle-ready

rna-tools loves to be used with parallel (wirte in shell script what you want rna-tools to do) and run to execute it in a set of folders:

parallel —bar —eta —progress ‘cp test.sh {} && cd {} && bash test.sh ‘ ::: *
