MacSyLib
MacSyLib is a python package library that allow to model and detect macromolecular systems, genetic pathways… by similarity search in prokaryotes datasets.

MacSyFinder v2: Improved modelling and search engine to identify molecular systems in genomes. Peer Community Journal, Volume 3 (2023), article no. e28. doi : 10.24072/pcjournal.250. https://peercommunityjournal.org/articles/10.24072/pcjournal.250/
Licence:
MacSyLib is developed and released under
Installation
[!IMPORTANT] MacSyLib requires hmmer >= 3.1 (http://hmmer.org/). You need to install hmmer by yourself (except if you install macsylib via conda/mamba). If you are a modeler, you will need also
gitThe other dependencies are managed by the python package manager pip.
Installation from distribution
We encourage to install macsylib in a virtualenv
After creating a virtualenv dedicated to MacSyLib and activating it
python3 -m venv my_project
cd my_project
source bin/activate
you can install macsylib as described below:
We distinguish 3 kind of MacSyLib users:
- The end user, who want to analyse it's data with the library
- The modeler, who want to modelize new macromolecular systems
- The developer who want to add or fix methods in the macsylib code
By default the installation is for the end user, if you are modeler or developer there is a specific pip target.
For instance for the modelers
bash
python -m pip install .[model]
For the developpers
bash
python -m pip install -e .[dev]
For someone who is both developper and modeler
bash
python -m pip install -e [dev,model]
For the developers:
Once you have installed macsylib do not forget to install pre-commit hooks
bash
pre-commit install
Models installation
Models are no longer shipped along macsyfinder nor macsylib packages.
To install Models you can use msl_data (shipped with MacSyLib).
msl_data (formely macsydata) allow to manage models stored in macsy-models.
Below some most useful commands.
- available: List Models available on macsy-models.
- search: Discover new packages.
- install: Install or upgarde packages.
- uninstall: Uninstall packages.
- cite: How to cite a package.
- ...
For complete documentation see macsydata section on readthedoc
For models not stored in macsy-models the commands available, search, installation from remote or upgrade from remote are NOT available.
For models Not stored in macsy-models, you have to manage them semi-manually. Download the archive (do not unarchive it), then use msl_data for the installation.
Use MacSyLib
import macsylib
