RNAmediator.Tweaks.RNAmediator.read_constraints

RNAmediator.Tweaks.RNAmediator.read_constraints(constraint: str, linewise: bool = False, constraintype: str = 'hard') → Dict[str, List[str]]

Reads constraints from the constraints file

Parameters:

  • constraint (Union[None, Dict]) – file location of the constrains file

  • linewise (bool, optional) – does not add the gene identifier to the returned cinstrantslist dictionary is set to True (default is False)

  • constraintype (str, optional) – sets type of constraint (default is hard)

Returns:

Dictionary containing the goi in the bed file as keys and constraints in string format (start-end|strand) as values. If linewise is set to True only a single key (“lw”) is used to store all constraints.

Return type:

Dict[str, List[str]]
