bioin.motif.random_motifs¶

bioin.motif.random_motifs(dna, k, t)[source]¶

Return a list of random k-mers from each of t different strings dna.

Parameters:	dna (list) – matrix, has t rows. k (int) – k-mer. t (int) – t is the number of k-mers in dna to return, also equal to the row number of dna 2D matrix.
Returns:	List, a list of t k-mers strings, each k-mer from each of t different strings dna.

Examples

RandomMotifs(Dna, k, t) that uses random.randint to choose a random k-mer from each of t different strings Dna, and returns a list of t strings.

>>> dna = ['TTACCTTAAC', 'GATGTCTGTC', 'ACGGCGTTAG', 'CCCTAACGAG', 'CGTCAGAGGT']
>>> k = 3
>>> t = 5
>>> random_t_kmers = random_motifs(dna, k, t)
>>> random_t_kmers
    ['TTA', 'GTC', 'ACG', 'ACG', 'GAG']
