Python regular expression implementation in this script

Question

I want to parse a large text file which is segmented with a character '//' in a newline. My input file is like this:

I also have a id.txt file where each line has a unique id like:

NP_415931.4
...

I want to match each id with the input file, and if it matches, I want to extract certain information with regular expression (with that particular segment of the input file) and save them in a output csv file. For example, for a matching character "GO:[0-9]", I come up with :

#!/usr/bin/env python
import re
import pdb

def peon(DATA, LIST, OUTPUT, sentinel = '\n//', pattern = re.compile('GO:[0-9]+')):

    data = DATA.read()  
    for item in LIST:
        find_me = item.strip()          
        j = 0
        while True:           
            i = data.find(find_me, j)
            if i < 0: 
                break
            j = data.find(sentinel, i)
            if j < 0: 
                j = len(data)
            result = pattern.findall(data[i:j])
        OUTPUT.write('{}\t{}\n'.format(find_me, ', '.join(result)))

def main(dataname, listname, outputname):
    with open(dataname, 'rt') as DATA:
        with open(listname, 'rt') as LIST:
            with open(outputname, 'wt') as OUTPUT:
                peon(DATA, LIST, OUTPUT)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main('./input_file.txt', './id.txt', './output.csv')

and it gives me output like:

NP_415931.4 GO:0005737, GO:0005524

Now , the characters which I want to match are (Number<>Header<>Description),

1   RefSeq_ID   As given in id.txt file
2   AA_Length   In the line that starts with "ID" & ends with "AA."
3   Protein_Name    After "RecName: Full="
4   EC_Number   After "EC="
5   Organism    In the line that starts with "OS"
6   NCBI_Taxid_ID   After "NCBI_TaxID="
7   KEGG_ID After "KEGG;"
8   KO_ID   After "KO;"
9   GO_ID   As ''GO:[NUMBER]"
10  InterPro_ID After "InterPro;"
11  InterPro_Description    After InterPro_ID , i.e, after 10
12  Pfam_ID After "Pfam;"
13  Pfam_Description    After Pfam_ID, i.e, after 12
14  PROSITE_ID  After "PROSITE;"
15  PROSITE_Description After PROSITE_ID, i.e, after 14

I have also attached a pic for better clarification:

I want to extract all those characters simultaneously and save them in a output csv file with specific headers. I am extracting , for example, "AA_Length" after changing regex like:

pattern = re.compile('[0-9]+ AA.') 

and it gives:

NP_415931.4 130 AA;

But its not exactly the pattern that I needed. Also, I'm not sure what will be the regex for before-after matching and how to implement them in a single script.

How can I search all those patterns in a single script and save the output (with header) in a csv file?

Thank you

PS: I want the final output csv to be look like:

Your data seems not to have a fixed structure.

How about

• reading the DATA,
• split them at "\n//",
• check each data set for ID from list
• use one RegExp for each of your needed IDs
• write the IDs in appropriate order to csv file

?

Basically:

import re, csv

with open('./input_file.txt') as dfile:
    DATA = dfile.read()

with open('./id.txt') as lfile:
    IDS = lfile.read().split('\n')

headers = ['RefSeq_ID',
           'AA_Length',
           'Protein_Name',
           'EC_Number',
           'Organism',
           'NCBI_Taxid_ID',
           'KEGG_ID',
           'KO_ID',
           'GO_ID',
           'InterPro_ID',
           'InterPro_Description',
           'Pfam_ID',
           'Pfam_Description',
           'PROSITE_ID',
           'PROSITE_Description'
           ]

ofile = open('./output.csv', 'w')
csvfile = csv.DictWriter(ofile, headers)

csvfile.writeheader()

for DATASET in DATA.split('\n//'):
    found_ids = {'RefSeq_ID': ""}

    for RefSeq_ID in IDS:
        if RefSeq_ID in DATASET:
            found_ids['RefSeq_ID'] = RefSeq_ID
            break
    if not found_ids['RefSeq_ID']:
        continue

    found_ids['AA_Length'] = ", ".join(re.findall('^ID.+\s+(\d+) AA\.$', DATASET, re.MULTILINE))
    found_ids['Protein_Name'] = ", ".join(re.findall('RecName: Full=(.+);', DATASET))
    found_ids['EC_Number'] = ", ".join(re.findall('EC=([\d\.]+);', DATASET))
    found_ids['Organism'] = ", ".join(re.findall('^OS\s+(.*)\.$', DATASET, re.MULTILINE))
    found_ids['NCBI_Taxid_ID'] = ", ".join(re.findall('NCBI_TaxID=(\d+);', DATASET))
    found_ids['KEGG_ID'] = ", ".join(re.findall('KEGG; (\w+:\w+\d+);', DATASET))
    found_ids['KO_ID'] = ", ".join(re.findall('KO; (K\d+);', DATASET))
    found_ids['GO_ID'] = ", ".join(re.findall('GO; (GO:\d+);', DATASET))
    found_ids['InterPro_ID'] = ", ".join(re.findall('InterPro; (IPR\d+);', DATASET))
    found_ids['InterPro_Description'] = ", ".join(re.findall('InterPro;.*?;(.*)\.', DATASET))
    found_ids['Pfam_ID'] = " ".join(re.findall('Pfam; (PF\d+);', DATASET))
    found_ids['Pfam_Description'] = ", ".join(re.findall('Pfam; PF\d+; (.*?);', DATASET))
    found_ids['PROSITE_ID'] = ", ".join(re.findall('PROSITE; (PS\d+);', DATASET))
    found_ids['PROSITE_Description'] = ", ".join(re.findall('PROSITE; PS\d+; (.*?);', DATASET))

    csvfile.writerow(found_ids)

ofile.close()
