Python Codon Adaptation Index
=============================
|DOI| |Docs| |Travis| |CodeFactor| |PyPI|

An implementation of `Sharp and Li's 1987
formulation <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC340524/pdf/nar00247-0410.pdf>`_
of the `codon adaption index
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codon_Adaptation_Index>`_.

Installation
------------

This module is available from PyPI and can be downloaded with the following command::

	$ pip install CAI

To install the latest development version::

	$ pip install git+https://github.com/Benjamin-Lee/CodonAdaptationIndex.git

.. _quickstart:

Quickstart
----------

Finding the CAI of a sequence is easy::

	>>> from CAI import CAI
	>>> CAI("ATG...", reference=["ATGTTT...", "ATGCGC...",...])
	0.24948128951724224

Similarly, from the command line::

	$ CAI -s sequence.fasta -r reference_sequences.fasta
	0.24948128951724224

Determining which sequences to use as the reference set is left to the user,
though the `HEG-DB <http://genomes.urv.cat/HEG-DB/>`_ is a great resource of
highly expressed genes.
