If you wish to construct it as part of a new development to store your sequence information, you might find the following helpful.
>>> import conkit.core
>>> seq = conkit.core.Sequence("example", "ABCDEF")
The example above creates a Sequence object with id “example” and sequence “ABCDEF”. This sequence contains numerous functions, such as align_global() for a global pairwise alignment with a second sequence
>>> import conkit.core
>>> sfile = conkit.core.SequenceFile("example")
This example shows you how to create a SequenceFile which can store one or more Sequence objects.
Above is an outline for the different sequence-related Entity classes. Each higher entity allows you to store one or more lower-level ones, i.e. you can store one or more Sequence entities in a single SequenceFile; however, be aware that all must have unique IDs.
To illustrate how you can combine the entities, look at the following:
>>> import conkit.core
>>> sfile = conkit.core.SequenceFile("example")
>>> seq1 = conkit.core.Sequence("example", "ABCDEF")
>>> seq2 = conkit.core.Sequence("elpmaxe", "FEDCBA")
>>> sfile.add(seq1)
>>> sfile.add(seq2)
Note, the order in which you add Entity instances does not matter.
Once you have constructed your hierarchy, all related functions are available to you.
