BioProv is a Python library for W3C-PROV representation of bioinformatics workflows. It enables you to quickly write workflows and to describe relationships between samples, files, users and programs.

Please see the tutorials for a more detailed introduction and visit ReadTheDocs for the complete documentation.

Quickstart

>>> import bioprov as bp

# Create samples and file objects
>>> sample = bp.Sample("mysample")
>>> genome = bp.File("mysample.fasta", "genome")
>>> sample.add_files(genome)

# Create programs
>>> output = sample.files["blast_out"] = bp.File("mysample.blast.tsv", "blast_out")
>>> blastn = bp.Program("blastn",
                        params={"-query": sample.files["genome"],
                                "-db": "mydb.fasta", "-out": output}
                        )
>>> sample.add_programs(blastn)

# Run programs
>>> sample.run_programs()

# Save your project
>>> proj = bp.Project((sample,), tag="example_project")
>>> proj.to_json()

# Create PROV documents
>>> prov = bp.BioProvDocument(proj)

# Save in PROVN or graphical format
>>> prov.write_provn()  # human-readable text format
>>> prov.dot.write_pdf()  # graphical format

BioProv also has a command-line application to run preset workflows.

$ bioprov -h
usage: bioprov [-h] [--show_config | --show_db | --clear_db | -v | -l]
               {genome_annotation,blastn,kaiju} ...

BioProv command-line application. Choose a command to begin.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --show_config         Show location of config file.
  --show_db             Show location of database file.
  --clear_db            Clears all records in database.
  -v, --version         Show BioProv version
  -l, --list            List Projects in the BioProv database.

workflows:
  {genome_annotation,blastn,kaiju}

BioProv is built with the Biopython and Pandas libraries.

You can import data into BioProv using Pandas objects.

# Read csv straight into BioProv
>>> samples = bp.read_csv("my_dataframe.tsv", sep="\t", sequencefile_cols="assembly")

# Alternatively, use a pandas DataFrame
>>> df = pd.read_csv("my_dataframe.tsv", sep="\t")

# [...] manipulate your df
>>> df["assembly"] = "assembly_directory/" + df["assembly"]

# Now load from your df
>>> project = bp.from_df(df, sequencefile_cols="assembly", source_file="my_dataframe.tsv")

# `samples` becomes a Project dict-like object
>>> sample1 = project['sample1']

# You can also export your sample and associated files and attributes as a dataframe
>>> project.to_csv()

Installation

# Install from pip
$ pip install bioprov

# Install from conda
$ conda install -c conda-forge -c bioconda bioprov

# Install from source
$ git clone https://github.com/vinisalazar/bioprov && cd bioprov;     # download
$ conda env create -f environment.yaml && conda activate bioprov;     # install dependencies
$ pip install . && pytest;                                            # install and test

Important! BioProv requires Prodigal to be tested. Otherwise tests will fail.
