scadnano.py

"""
The :mod:`scadnano` Python module is a library for describing synthetic DNA nanostructures
(e.g., DNA origami).
To install, type `pip install scadnano` at the command line;
more detailed  installation instructions and troubleshooting tips are at the
`GitHub repository <https://github.com/UC-Davis-molecular-computing/scadnano-python-package#installation>`_.

The scadnano project is developed and maintained by the UC Davis Molecular Computing group.
Note that `cadnano <https://cadnano.org>`_ is a separate project,
developed and maintained by the `Douglas lab <https://bionano.ucsf.edu/>`_ at UCSF.

This module is used to write Python scripts creating files readable
by `scadnano <https://scadnano.org/>`_, a web application useful for displaying
and manually editing synthetic DNA nanostructures.
The purpose of this module is to help automate some of the task of creating DNA designs,
as well as making large-scale changes to them that are easier to describe programmatically than
to do by hand in scadnano.

If you find scadnano useful in a scientific project, please cite its associated paper:

 | scadnano: A browser-based, scriptable tool for designing DNA nanostructures.
 | David Doty, Benjamin L Lee, and Tristan Stérin.
 | DNA 2020: *Proceedings of the 26th International Conference on DNA Computing and Molecular Programming*
 | [ `paper <https://doi.org/10.4230/LIPIcs.DNA.2020.9>`_ | `BibTeX <https://web.cs.ucdavis.edu/~doty/papers/scadnano.bib>`_ ]

This document describes the API for the scadnano Python package,
see the `repository <https://github.com/UC-Davis-molecular-computing/scadnano-python-package>`_
for additional documentation, such as installation instructions.
There is separate documentation for the
`scadnano web interface <https://github.com/UC-Davis-molecular-computing/scadnano>`_.

This library uses typing hints from the Python typing library.
(https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html)
Each function and method indicate intended types of the parameters.
However, due to Python's design, these types are not enforced at runtime.
It is suggested to use a static analysis tool such as that provided by an IDE such as PyCharm
(https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/)
to see warnings when the typing rules are violated. 
Such warnings probably indicate an erroneous usage.

Most of the classes in this module are Python dataclasses
(https://docs.python.org/3/library/dataclasses.html)
whose fields show up in the documentation.
Their types are listed in parentheses after the name of the class;
for example :any:`Color` has ``int`` fields :py:data:`Color.r`, :py:data:`Color.g`, :py:data:`Color.b`.
In general it is safe to read these fields directly, but not to write to them directly.
Setter methods (named ``set_<fieldname>``) are provided for fields where it makes sense to set it to another
value than it had originally.
However, due to Python naming conventions for dataclass fields and property setters,
it is not straightforward to enforce that the fields cannot be written, 
so the user must take care not to set them.

@dataclass(frozen=True, eq=True)
class Modification(_JSONSerializable, ABC):
    """
    Abstract case class of modifications (to DNA sequences, e.g., biotin or Cy3).
    Use concrete subclasses
    :any:`Modification3Prime`, :any:`Modification5Prime`, or :any:`ModificationInternal`
    to instantiate.

    :data:`Modification.vendor_code` is used as a unique ID.
    Each :data:`Modification.vendor_code` must be unique.
    This can cause problems with some vendors such as Eurofins
    (https://eurofinsgenomics.com/en/products/dnarna-synthesis/mods/) that reuse the same vendor code
    such as [BIOTEG].
    See issue https://github.com/UC-Davis-molecular-computing/scadnano-python-package/issues/283.

    For example if you create a 5' modification
    to represent 6 T bases: ``t6_5p = Modification5Prime(display_text='6T', vendor_code='TTTTTT')``
    (this was a useful hack for putting single-stranded extensions on strands before the :any:`Extension`
    class was created to directly support this idea),
    then this would clash with a similar 3' modification without specifying unique IDs for them:
    ``t6_3p = Modification3Prime(display_text='6T', vendor_code='TTTTTT') # ERROR``.

    In general it is recommended to create a single :any:`Modification` object for each *type* of
    modification in the design. For example, if many strands have a 5' biotin, then it is recommended to
    create a single :any:`Modification` object and re-use it on each strand with a 5' biotin:

    .. code-block:: python

        biotin_5p = Modification5Prime(display_text='B', vendor_code='/5Biosg/')
        design.draw_strand(0, 0).move(8).with_modification_5p(biotin_5p)
        design.draw_strand(1, 0).move(8).with_modification_5p(biotin_5p)
    """

    display_text: str
    """
    Short text to display in the web interface as an "icon"
    visually representing the modification, e.g., ``'B'`` for biotin or ``'Cy3'`` for Cy3.
    This can be arbitrary Unicode; for example, to represent a fluorophore,
    one can use the "glowing star" symbol \U0001F31F, 
    or to represent a quencher, one can use the "large black circle" symbol \u2B24. 
    """

    vendor_code: str
    """

    Represents a set of properties to apply to a specific group of :any:`Helix`'s in the :any:`Design`.

    A :any:`HelixGroup` is useful for grouping together helices that should all be in parallel,
    as part of a design where different groups are not parallel. In particular, each :any:`HelixGroup`
    can be given its own 3D position and pitch/yaw/roll orientation angles. Each :any:`HelixGroup` does
    not actually *contain* its helices; they are associated through the field :data:`Helix.group`, which is
    a string representing a key in the dict ``groups`` specified in the constructor for :any:`Design`.

    If there are :any:`HelixGroup`'s explicitly specified, then the field :py:data:`Design.grid` is ignored.
    Each :any:`HelixGroup` has its own grid, and the fields :py:data:`Helix.position` or
    :py:data:`Helix.grid_position` are considered relative to the origin of that :any:`HelixGroup`
    (i.e., the value :py:data:`HelixGroup.position`). Although an individual :any:`Helix`
    can have a non-zero :py:data:`Helix.roll` (which is in addition to whatever value there is for
    :data:`HelixGroup.roll`), all helices in a group are parallel.

    The three angles are interpreted to be applied in the following order: first yaw, then pitch, then roll,
    using the "intrinsic rotation" convention

    This convention is not apparent in the scadnano web interface, which only directly shows pitch,

    Computes the angle that minimizes the "strain" of all relative angles in the given list.

    A "relative angle" is a pair :math:`(\theta, \mu)`. The strain is set to 0 by setting
    :math:`\theta = \mu`; more generally the strain is :math:`(\theta-\mu)^2`, where :math:`\theta-\mu`

class StrandBuilder:
    """
    Represents a :any:`Strand` that is being built in an existing :any:`Design`.

    This is an intermediate object created when using chained method building by calling
    :py:meth:`Design.draw_strand`, for example

    .. code-block:: Python

        design.draw_strand(0, 0).to(10).cross(1).to(5).with_modification_5p(mod.biotin_5p).as_scaffold()

    :any:`StrandBuilder` should generally not be created directly by calling its constructor,
    but rather by calling the method :meth:`Design.draw_strand`.

    Although it is convenient to use chained method calls, it is also sometimes useful to assign the
    :any:`StrandBuilder` object into a variable and then call the methods on that variable, particularly
    when creating a strand with many domains that are easiest to express in a Python loop (e.g., a long
    scaffold strand for a DNA origami). For example, the following code is equivalent to the above line:

    .. code-block:: Python

        strand_builder = design.draw_strand(0, 0)
        strand_builder.to(10)
        strand_builder.cross(1)

    Two :any:`Loopout`'s cannot occur consecutively on a :any:`Strand`, nor can a :any:`Strand`

        This method uses the Python tabulate package (https://pypi.org/project/tabulate/).
        The parameters are identical to that of the `tabulate` function and are passed along to it,
        except for `tabular_data` and `headers`, which are computed from this plate map.
        In particular, the parameter `tablefmt` has default value `'pipe'`,
        which creates a Markdown format. To create other formats such as HTML, change the value of
        `tablefmt`; see https://github.com/astanin/python-tabulate#readme for other possible formats.

        :param well_marker:
            By default the strand's name is put in the relevant plate entry. If `well_marker` is specified
            and is a string, then that string is put into every well with a strand in the plate map instead.
            This is useful for printing plate maps that just put,
            for instance, an `'X'` in the well to pipette (e.g., specify ``well_marker='X'``),
            e.g., for experimental mixes that use only some strands in the plate.
            To enable the string to depend on the well position
            (instead of being the same string in every well), `well_marker` can also be a function
            that takes as input a string representing the well (such as ``"B3"`` or ``"E11"``),
            and outputs a string. For example, giving the identity function
            ``mix.to_table(well_marker=lambda x: x)`` puts the well address itself in the well.
        :param title_level:
            The "title" is the first line of the returned string, which contains the plate's name
            and volume to pipette. The `title_level` controls the size, with 1 being the largest size,
            (header level 1, e.g., # title in Markdown or <h1>title</h1> in HTML)
            and 6 being the smallest size.
        :param warn_unsupported_title_format:
            If True, prints a warning if `tablefmt` is a currently unsupported option for the title.
            The currently supported formats for the title are 'github', 'html', 'unsafehtml', 'rst',
            'latex', 'latex_raw', 'latex_booktabs', "latex_longtable". If `tablefmt` is another valid
            option, then the title will be the Markdown format, i.e., same as for `tablefmt` = 'github'.
        :param vertical_borders:
            If true, then `tablefmt` must be set to `html` or `unsafehtml`, and the returned
            HTML will use inline styles to ensure there are vertical borders between columns of the table.
            The vertical borders make it easier to see which column a well is in.
            This is useful when rendering in a Jupyter notebook, since the inline styles will be
            preserved when saving the Jupyter notebook using the nbconvert tool:
            https://nbconvert.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
        :param tablefmt:
            By default set to `'pipe'` to create a Markdown table. For other options see

        and their domains have their lengths altered. Also, major tick marks on the helices will be
        shifted to preserve their adjacency to bases already present. For example, if there are major
        tick marks at 0, 8, 18, 24, and a deletion between 0 and 8:

        .. code-block:: none

            0      8         18    24    30

        then the domain is shortened by 1,

            |-----|---------|-----|------

        Similarly, if there are insertions (in the example below, the "2" represents an insertion of length 2,
        which represents 3 total bases), they are expanded

        .. code-block:: none

            0      8         18    24    30
            |--2---|---------|-----|------

        .. code-block:: none

            |--------|---------|-----|------

        And it works if there are both insertions and deletions:

        .. code-block:: none

            0      8         18    24    30
            |--2---|---------|--X--|------

            |--------|---------|----|------

        We assume that a major tick mark appears just to the LEFT of the offset it encodes,
        so the minimum and maximum offsets for tick marks are respectively the helix's minimum offset
