Package Name: Pynteny: a Python package to perform synteny-aware, profile HMM-based searches in sequence databases
One-Line Description of Package: Query sequence database by HMMs arranged in predefined synteny structure
Repository Link (if existing): https://github.com/Robaina/Pynteny


Description

  • Include a brief paragraph describing what your package does:

Pynteny is Python tool to search for synteny blocks in (prokaryotic) sequence data through HMMs of the ORFs of interest and HMMER. By leveraging genomic context information, Pynteny can be employed to decrease the uncertainty of functional annotation of unlabelled sequence data due to the effect of paralogs. Pynteny can be accessed (i) through the command line, (ii) as a Python module or (iii) as a (locally served) web application.

Scope

  • Please indicate which category or categories this package falls under:

    • Data retrieval
    • Data extraction
    • Data munging
    • Data deposition
    • Data visualization
    • Reproducibility
    • Geospatial
    • Education
    • Unsure/Other (explain below)
  • Explain how and why the package falls under these categories (briefly, 1-2 sentences). Please note any areas you are unsure of:

Pynteny's main objective is to provide a means to query NGS (unannotated) sequence databases, such as metagenomic/metatranscriptomic datasets using syntenic blocks (i.e. spatial arrangements of genes) rather than single target genes/protein domains. In this sense, I would classify Pynteny within Data Extraction.

On the other hand, Pynteny can also be employed in microbiology / genetic courses. To this end, it provides a web graphical interface (Streamlit app) to facilitate interaction. We have successfully employed Pynteny in some of our microbiology courses at the University of La Laguna. Hence, I think tagging Pynteny within "Education" may be appropriate.

  • Who is the target audience and what are the scientific applications of this package?

Pynteny was designed to be used by researchers working with large, unannotated sequence databases, such as those typically encountered in metagenomic analyses. It can be accessed through a command line interface or easily integrated into pipelines as a Python package. Pynteny can also be used through a graphical interface running locally in the browser, which is more suitable for educational purposes.

  • Are there other Python packages that accomplish similar things? If so, how does yours differ?

To extent of my knowledge, there isn't any Python package that provides the functionality provided by Pynteny.

  • Any other questions or issues we should be aware of:

I submitted this package for publication at JOSS a few days back. The submission is currently under consideration for scope.

Hi @Robaina and welcome to pyOpenSci!

Thank you for filling out the submission in a detailed thoughtful way.
My initial impression is that, yes, Pynteny is in scope for pyOpenSci.
I agree that it falls under the heading of the "data extraction" in the sense that Pynteny allows users to query a database with HMMs.

I submitted this package for publication at JOSS a few days back.

We should coordinate with them. Our review processes are complementary. So far we've usually done the pyOS review first and then we pass off to JOSS. For example, see discussion on the pyGMT review here: #43 or the completed devicely review: #37

If that makes sense, please let me know, and please reference this issue on the open JOSS review issue.

I will need to do more detailed editor checks but I wanted to welcome you and give you an initial answer as soon as possible. I will follow up tomorrow. Thank you @Robaina!

Hi again @Robaina I am familiarizing myself with the project a little more before I ask you to make a full submission; I want to make sure I understand how it works.

Good things:

  • the README looks good overall, it has all the sections we would expect, and the badges and images are both helpful and make the README attractive and interesting
  • Your docs look great and so do the examples.

Some feedback:

  • We would want the docs to be a Sphinx site, not a wiki, as stated in our editor checks here although overall the docs are very readable. I would also recommend copying example snippets of using the cli so they are one of the very first things a potential user sees on your README; they should know immediately what the interface actually looks like
  • We would definitely want you to use a pyproject.toml that declares your dependencies as metadata, instead of the deprecated setup.py approach. Ideally with new-style metadata as described in the flit docs: https://flit.pypa.io/en/stable/pyproject_toml.html#new-style-metadata. For more on why we require a pyproject.toml, see this post from Titus Brown, and this much more detailed post from Paul Anzel.
  • Part of the purpose of pyOpenSci is to standardize project structure; there's no right answer but it is definitely uncommon to see a directory with the package name that then has a src/ directory inside of it. Usually you would either just have your source code in pynteny or you would have src/pynteny. See this post: https://hynek.me/articles/testing-packaging/. Similarly, while people do sometimes have tests along code, it's often preferable to completely isolate your tests so you know they are testing installed code. I would suggest switching to src/pyntenty or pynteny and moving your tests to the project root.
  • Right now if I'm not mistaken it looks like you are limited to conda because that's the only way you can inspire HMMER? Is that correct? More about this below

Questions:

  • Can you explain how pynteny compares to PyHMMER? Is there overlap in functionality there?
    https://pyhmmer.readthedocs.io/en/stable/
    Partly I ask because the developers of HMMER and PyHMMER are potential reviewers.
  • I'm also asking about PyHMMER because it looks like you might be able to declare it as a dependency, so that your package would not be limited to only conda and Linux users; PyHMMER is pip installable so Pynteny would be pip installable as well. They appear to have some docs for developers here: https://pyhmmer.readthedocs.io/en/stable/examples/index.html

Hi @NickleDave,

thank you for your careful first review of the project, here are my thoughts:

  • We would want the docs to be a Sphinx site, not a wiki, as stated in our editor checks here although overall the docs are very readable. I would also recommend copying example snippets of using the cli so they are one of the very first things a potential user sees on your README; they should know immediately what the interface actually looks like

That makes sense. Will port the wiki to a Sphinx site. I agree on including cli snippets!

Will do. A good opportunity to finally get rid of the deprecated setup.py.

  • Part of the purpose of pyOpenSci is to standardize project structure; there's no right answer but it is definitely uncommon to see a directory with the package name that then has a src/ directory inside of it.

I would suggest switching to src/pyntenty or pynteny and moving your tests to the project root.

Yeah, actually I wasn't following any standard structure in the project. Seems reasonable to change it to what you suggest.

  • Right now if I'm not mistaken it looks like you are limited to conda because that's the only way you can inspire HMMER? Is that correct? More about this below

It started like that, yes. Pynteny also depends on Prodigal, which is available in bioconda. I made wrappers for both to be run within Pynteny. Although providing a wrapper was more of a necessity rather than a designed functionality back then.

However, I have checked and there is a python binding to prodigal, which is pip installable: Pyrodigal. All other dependencies are also both pip and conda installable, so I could make Pynteny also pip installable by switching from using HMMER and Prodigal to using PyHMMER and Pyrodigal. I would have to delve into it since I believe that PyHMMER and HMMER output formats are structured differently.

I plan to submit Pynteny to the bioconda channel since it is dedicated to software within the biological sciences. Bioconda would make Pynteny available for MacOS as well as Linux, but not for Windows (that is, outside using WSL). However, I think that it is worth trying PyHMMER and Pyrodigal so I can make Pynteny also pip installable and potentially usable also in Windows without WSL

Questions:

  • Can you explain how pynteny compares to PyHMMER? Is there overlap in functionality there?
    https://pyhmmer.readthedocs.io/en/stable/
    Partly I ask because the developers of HMMER and PyHMMER are potential reviewers.

Currently, Pynteny provides a simple CLI wrapper to HMMER (contrary to the sophisticated interface provided by PyHMMER). This is not the main functionality of Pynteny (and could be entirely removed by using PyHMMER instead of HMMER).

Pynteny uses HMMER (potentially PyHMMER) as a tool to run sequence profile HMM searches, which is a step required to then filter those searches by the syntenic structure provided by the user. So, to clarify, these would be the main functionalities provided by Pynteny:

  1. Construct a peptide database from DNA assembly data in which peptide labels contain positional information (gene number within contig / chromosome, and contig name). DNA translation to peptide sequences is carried out by Prodigal / Pyrodigal.

  2. Search the peptide database by a predefined syntenic structure (i.e., gene spatial arrangement) using profile HMMs. Here, HMMER / PyHMMER is employed to search the peptide database for every gene/HMM in the provided syntenic structure. Pynteny would then take into account the positional information and the syntenic structure (including additional optional constraints like DNA strand specificity and alternative HMMs for the same gene) to filter HMMER results and retain only those sequence hits that are aligned with the provided syntenic structure.

  3. Additionally, Pynteny facilitates downloading a large profile HMM database (PGAP) as well as "translating" a syntenic structure defined with gene symbols to another one containing matching profile HMMs from the PGAP database.

  • I'm also asking about PyHMMER because it looks like you might be able to declare it as a dependency, so that your package would not be limited to only conda and Linux users; PyHMMER is pip installable so Pynteny would be pip installable as well. They appear to have some docs for developers here: https://pyhmmer.readthedocs.io/en/stable/examples/index.html

See my answers above.


Hope my comments help clarify Pynteny's functionality. Please, don't hesitate to ask any further questions.
Thanks!

@Robaina so so psyched to have you here. Just a note that if you need help with any of the above items we are happy to support you. you can post questions here in this issue OR on discourse if you wish. I just went through updating a package with docs and pyproject.toml and found that the online documentation was a bit confusing so just reach out if you have questions!

in the future we will have better documentation to support making changes like the ones discussed above!

Hi @NickleDave,

I have thought about relocating the tests directory to root as you suggested. While I see the advantages you listed by locating tests there, I'm not entirely convinced that this is the best option in this case. This is because currently tests are installed (as a subpackage) alongside pynteny and can be run with the subcommand Pynteny tests, which I think it's a nice functionality for users to check that installation went fine. I am not sure I want to get rid of this functionality to favor locating tests outside of the installation. Does this make sense to you?

@NickleDave

Hi @Robaina thank you so much for your clear answers and for being open to feedback.

Your response makes me more confident Pynteny is in scope, since it also includes data retrieval, and my understand that it leverages functionality from both HMMER and Prodigal to provide a unique ability to query a peptide database with HMMs. Aside: do you have a sort of workflow diagram in your docs that captures this description, including which dependency does what? Might be helpful

Before we make a final decision, I just want to get a little feedback from devs in bioinformatics and genomics--I have asked in our Slack--but I am 90% sure we will ask you to go ahead with a submission. (I should have asked them before, I am sorry for not doing so in the first place.)

In the meantime, could I ask you to track any changes you are making as a result of this presubmission as issues, and then reference those issues on any submission? @lwasser may modify our survey as well to make sure we capture that (we are still figuring out process as we come back on line).

So far we have (correct me if I'm wrong):

  • switch docs to Sphinx (I highly highly suggesting using myst, by the way, if you weren't already)
  • restructure project: make docs/, src/ and tests/ folders (more on this below, I did see your question)
  • test whether you can depend on PyHMMER and Pyrodigal to enable a pip-only build (that probably makes it easier and more reliable in the long run to generate packages for bioconda and conda-forge e.g. with grayskull)

re: keeping tests in docs

This does not affect our decision on a submission; we don't have any hard and fast rules right now about where test should be. As a developer I totally understand why you want to keep them there. The reasons I would suggest moving them out are
(1) you want to ideally isolate tests from source and run on an installed build (even if you don't do so during day-to-day development),
(2) it's great that you care about your users but most of them won't be developers and won't care about running tests, and the ones that do care will know how to clone your repo and run tests the usual way
(3) I'm not sure what running tests gives users unless you have a lot of edge cases that you need them to report to you about, and even in that case it might be better to add a helper function that dumps out env info to the terminal that they can paste into issues with an error message. I did look at your tests but nothing jumps out at me that makes me think you are often needing it to be in with the code

Most recent updated guides I know suggest putting tests in a separate directory:
https://docs.python-guide.org/writing/structure/
https://py-pkgs.org/05-testing
https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/tutorials/packaging-projects/#a-simple-project
https://cjolowicz.github.io/posts/hypermodern-python-02-testing/
https://doc.pytest.org/en/latest/explanation/goodpractices.html#tests-outside-application-code

Does that help?

Excellent! Regarding the diagram: I could do a simple one and include it in the index page of the docs.

Alright, no problem. I'll wait for the final decision.

I already made some changes, but I can do that from now on.

So far we have (correct me if I'm wrong):

  • switch docs to Sphinx (I highly highly suggesting using myst, by the way, if you weren't already)

Yeah, so I'll try myst as per your suggestion. Ideally, I want to use the same markdown files I already made but I think that shouldn't be a problem.

  • restructure project: make docs/, src/ and tests/ folders (more on this below, I did see your question)

This is already been taken care of. Thanks for your comments about tests. Makes sense. I have relocated "tests" outside the package and removed "Pynteny tests" subcommand.

  • test whether you can depend on PyHMMER and Pyrodigal to enable a pip-only build (that probably makes it easier and more reliable in the long run to generate packages for bioconda and conda-forge e.g. with grayskull)

I have this in mind and will definitely test those packages. However, I do have a question: would making Pynteny pip-installable be a requisite for consideration at pySciOpen? Or rather a desirable change that I could do later on?

Thank you for all your suggestions. They have definitely been very helpful

Happy to hear the suggestions are helpful!
I need to do a better job of not imposing my own opinions but I do really appreciate that you are open to feedback.

Just so we're on the same page: I am still expecting we will go forward with this as a submission, I am just waiting to hear back from subject matter experts. Thanks for your patience up until now and please expect that final decision early next week.

would making Pynteny pip-installable be a requisite for consideration at pySciOpen?

Short answer: we want to be understanding of the current reality of Python packaging and we want to favor providing people access to good tools. So I would not say it's a requirement. Longer answer: we don't have official language on this in our guides right now and this is part of the revisions we're doing right now.

So effectively, no it's not a requirement.

I see that you did raise an issue about it. @lwasser noticed that Pyteny is on PyPI. I was able to pip install on Linux and at least run the download command from the cli. On mac with Python 3.7 I get ImportError: cannot import name 'metadata' from 'importlib'.

Given that it's kind of already on PyPI, plus our discussion above, I think this means it seems very possible you can make Pynteny pip installable once you figure out any data format issues. Again we would not require you get this done before submission or somehow reject after review because you weren't able to get it done.

Does that make sense? Great to see all the progress you've already made just during this presubmission--new docs look good! Feel free to ask if you have further questions. Otherwise I will be back in touch early next week.

Hi again :)

I need to do a better job of not imposing my own opinions but I do really appreciate that you are open to feedback.

no problem at all, I did not read it as an "imposition". I asked that because I'm not entirely sure I can easily integrate PyHMMER / Pyrodigal into Pynteny without major changes to the code. Also, using those packages means abandoning usage of the original implementations which I guess are more tested. Anyway, I haven't tested it yet, I just wanted to get an idea about your opinions on the topic.

I see that you did raise an issue about it. @lwasser noticed that Pyteny is on PyPI. I was able to pip install on Linux and at least run the download command from the cli. On mac with Python 3.7 I get ImportError: cannot import name 'metadata' from 'importlib'.

Right. Sorry, Pynteny on pip is not functional. I thought I had deleted Pynteny from pip. I already did. This was an early attempt (hence the old setup.py file as well) but I abandoned it after realizing HMMER and prodigal were only on bioconda, so it made little sense to me to first install a conda environment with dependencies and then Pynteny via pip. Thus I continued with conda build and made a recipe.

If PyHMMER/Pyrodingal works well, I'll build a proper pip package (using myproject.toml) and upload it to pip.

Does that make sense? Great to see all the progress you've already made just during this presubmission--new docs look good! Feel free to ask if you have further questions. Otherwise I will be back in touch early next week.

It does. Again, thanks for the suggestions. I'm not a software engineer / developer by training so these suggestions are very useful.

Till next week then!

Hi @Robaina!
My apologies for not getting back to you sooner, a bit of a crunch at work right now.
I also appreciate your patience overall--I should have given you a timeline sooner and then done checks all at once before getting back to you.

And of course we appreciate your enthusiasm!
We want this to be a good experience for you and we can tell you are highly motivated.

I did try to install as in the README last night and had some issues.
I'd like to suggest we proceed as follows:

  • I will raise issues on your repo describing what I ran into when I tried to install following the README
  • I would suggest you ask in our Discourse for help with resolving that. We do have some people that are more familiar with conda and we are happy to make sure they see your post
  • It will probably help them/us/you if you can add files to the Pynteny repo that you use to publish your conda package--I'm guessing you're using conda-build with a meta.yaml but I don't see it in the repo?

Does that make sense? We do feel Pynteny is in scope and we want to go ahead with a submission but we definitely want to be sure we can install first

I have some meetings ~12-5 today but will raise those issues about what I ran into with installs by the end of the day at the latest

Hi @NickleDave ,

no worries, it's all good.

I have added the meta file I used to build the conda package. I have only tested it in Ubuntu 20.04 so far... I'll look into the issue when you post it (and ask around Discourse) to figure out what happened in your case.

Thanks!

Great, thank you @Robaina for your quick reply and again for your patience.

We haven't run into this situation before where a package was installed through a user's private channel.
We discussed today how to handle that, including maintainers that have more conda experience, and based on that discussion, we will need to require two things for review:

  • making the package available on a community channel such as bioconda or conda-forge. In your case I think bioconda will be the easiest
  • clearly stating the non-Python dependencies in the README, i.e., all the things you install with conda because you can't get them on pip. In your case I think this is HMMer and Prodigal. I know you mention HMMer first thing in the README; what we would need is an explicit section with a title like "prerequisites" before "installation/set up" where you list all the non-Python requirements. Ideally since you want Pynteny to be a re-usable tool others depend on, you should put a lower but not an upper cap on them, e.g. "HMMer >=1.5", instead of pinning to a specific version like in your environment.yml, since pinning + upper caps users that may depend on other versions of the same libraries

As I said, we have not faced this situation before, so we do not have a process and documentation in place for it. We are correcting that in our docs now. I totally understand if you are frustrated and you feel like we keep adding requirements for review. Please know that is not our intention.

Given that:

  • please if you agree focus on getting Pynteny submitted to bioconda for now. I'm guessing you're already acquainted with the workflow but you can ask in our Discourse about this. We are adding someone who knows Bioconda to our team so we can get help from them too. Let's focus on that instead of me adding noise to your development with issues about whatever weird Linux I have on my laptop
  • and please do just add a "prerequistes" section where you list non-Python dependencies. Fine to include an aside like "these will be installed by conda if you install from the bioconda channel"

How does that sound? I promise not to add any more requests! And I'm sorry for not doing due diligence in the first place. We do think this is in scope and want to get you a review as soon as we can!

Hi @NickleDave,

  • making the package available on a community channel such as bioconda or conda-forge. In your case I think bioconda will be the easiest

No problem. I actually had already prepared and submitted a recipe to bioconda and checked that it passed all build tests there. But then canceled the pull request since at the time I thought it didn't make much sense to submit to bioconda before the review (and all the potential changes to the code).

However, it's fine with me to submit Pynteny to bioconda prior to revision. Will do.

  • clearly stating the non-Python dependencies in the README, i.e., all the things you install with conda because you can't get them on pip. In your case I think this is HMMer and Prodigal. I know you mention HMMer first thing in the README; what we would need is an explicit section with a title like "prerequisites" before "installation/set up" where you list all the non-Python requirements.

From the user viewpoint conda / bioconda should take care of installing all dependencies, so one wouldn't need to install HMMER and Prodigal as a prerequisite to then install Pynteny.

However, for developers / reviewers I think it's best to add a section in README.md containing info for developers. This section would contain a list of dependencies (also listed in environment.yml) as well as instructions on how to install Pynteny locally with setup.py / myproject.toml to avoid running a conda-build (which is considerably slower). Would this be an acceptable option?

  • please if you agree focus on getting Pynteny submitted to bioconda for now. I'm guessing you're already acquainted with the workflow but you can ask in our Discourse about this. We are adding someone who knows Bioconda to our team so we can get help from them too.

No problem. I'll open a PR in bioconda today or tomorrow.

I understand that these requirements are meant to improve the software / review process. Also, I know that there are a lot of changes going on at PyOpenSci right now. No problem!

Thank you so much. We really appreciate your understanding. This has been a bit bumpy but you are really helping us improve our process.

However, for developers / reviewers I think it's best to add a section in README.md containing info for developers.

Yes, this would be perfect. As long as you list them, good enough, but ideally I can clone the repo, make a conda env with those other dependencies, and then pip install -e . inside the root of the repo and have everyhing work. So, yes, basically like a developer set up.

And thanks for removing the environment.yml. I know I have some projects where I need to do that too 😇 😹. The joys of developing with multiple package managers.

No problem. I'll open a PR in bioconda today or tomorrow.

Excellent!
Please do go ahead and make a new issue that's a full submission after Pynteny is on bioconda and you've updated the readme.
Once you make that submission, I will close this issue.
