CHANGELOG
1.93 KB
v 1.3 beta, January 2021
The first uses of RNAnet by people from outside the development team happened between this December.
A few feedback allowed to identify issues and useful information to add.
FEATURE CHANGES
- Sequence alignments of the 3D structures mapped to a family are now provided.
- Full alignements with Rfam sequences are not provided, but you can ask us for the files.
- Two new fields in table 'family': ali_length and ali_filtered_length.
They are the MSA lengths of the alignment with and without the Rfam sequences.
- Gap replacement by consensus (--fill-gaps) has been removed. Now, the gap percentage and consensus are saved
in the align_column table and the datapoints in CSV format, in separate columns.
Consensus is one of ACGUN-, the gap being chosen if >75% of the sequences are gaps at this position.
Otherwise, A/C/G/U is chosen if >50% of the non-gap positions are A/C/G/U. Otherwise, N is the consensus.
TECHNICAL CHANGES
- SQLite connexions are now all in WAL mode by default (previously, only the writers used WAL mode, but this is useless)
- Moved to Python3.9 for internal testing.
- Latest version of BioPython is now supported (1.78)
BUG CORRECTIONS
- When an alignment file is updated in a newer run of RNANet, all the re_mappings are now re-computed
for this family. Previously, the remappings were computed only for the newly added sequences,
while the alignment actually changed even for chains added in past runs.
- Changed the ownership and permissions of files produced by the Docker container.
They were previously owned by root and the user could not get access to them.
- Modified nucleotides were not always correctly transformed to N in the alignments (and nucleotide.nt_align_code fields).
Now, the alignments and nt_align_code (and consensus) only contain "ACGUN-" chars.
Now, 'N' means 'other', while '-' means 'nothing' or 'unknown'.
