skbio.sequence.RNA.read

RNA.read(format=None, **kwargs)

Create a new RNA instance from a file.

This is a convenience method for skbio.io.registry.read(). For more information about the I/O system in scikit-bio, please see skbio.io.

Supported file formats include:

• 'embl' (skbio.io.format.embl)

• 'fasta' (skbio.io.format.fasta)

• 'fastq' (skbio.io.format.fastq)

• 'qseq' (skbio.io.format.qseq)

• 'genbank' (skbio.io.format.genbank)

Parameters:

fileopenable (filepath, URL, filehandle, etc.)

The location to read the given format into. Something that is understood by skbio.io.util.open(). Filehandles are not automatically closed, it is the responsibility of the caller.

formatstr, optional

The format of the file. The format must be a format name with a reader for RNA. If None, the format will be inferred.

kwargsdict, optional

Additional arguments passed to skbio.io.registry.read() and the reader for RNA.

Returns:

RNA

A new instance.
