Hello,
I've written a script that scans a biological database and extracts some
information. A sample of output from my script is as follows:
LYLGILLSHAN AA3R_SHEEP 263 31
LYMGILLSHAN AA3R_HUMAN 264 31
MCLGILLSHAN AA3R_RAT 266 31
LLVGILLSHAN AA3R_RABIT 265 31
The leftmost strings are the ones I want to keep, while I would like to get
rid of the ones to the right (AA3R_SHEEP, 263 61) which are just indicators
of where the sequence came from and genomic coordinates. Is there any way to
do this with a string processing command? The loop which builds my list goes
like this:
for line in query_lines:
if line.startswith('fd;'): # find motif sequences
#print "Found an FD for your query!",
line.rstrip().lstrip('fd;')
print line.lstrip('fd;')
motif.append(line.rstrip().lstrip('fd;'))
Is there a del command I can use to preserve only the actual sequences
themselves. Many thanks in advance!
