Extracting genes from a reference using annotations

In this recipe, we will see how to extract a gene sequence with the help of an annotation file to get its coordinates against a reference FASTA. We will use the Anopheles gambiae genome, along with its annotation file (as per the previous two recipes). We will first extract the Voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) gene, which is involved in resistance to insecticides.

Getting ready

If you have followed the previous two recipes, you are ready. If not, download the Anopheles gambiae FASTA file, along with the GTF file. You also need to prepare the gffutils database:

import gffutils
import sqlite3
try:
    db = gffutils.create_db('gambiae.gff.gz', 'ag.db')
except sqlite3.OperationalError:
    db = gffutils.FeatureDB('ag.db')

As usual, you will find all this in the 02_Genomes/Getting_Gene.ipynb notebook.

How to do it…

Let's take a look at the following steps:

  1. Let's start by retrieving the annotation information...
