skbio.alignment.AlignPath.from_indices#

classmethod AlignPath.from_indices(indices, gap=-1)[source]#

Create an alignment path from character indices in the original sequences.

Parameters:

indicesarray_like of int of shape (n_seqs, n_positions): Each element in the array is the index in the corresponding sequence.
gapint or “mask”, optional: The value which represents a gap in the alignment. Defaults to -1, but can be other values. If “mask”, indices must be an np.ma.MaskedArray. Cannot use “del”.

Returns:

AlignPath: The alignment path created from the given indices.

Notes

If a sequence in the alignment consists of entirely gap characters, its start position will be equal to the gap character.

Examples

>>> import numpy as np
>>> from skbio.alignment import AlignPath
>>> indices = np.array([[0, -1, -1,  1,  2,  3],
...                     [0,  1,  2, -1, -1, -1],
...                     [0, -1, -1,  1,  2, -1]])
>>> path = AlignPath.from_indices(indices)
>>> path
