How to read the pangenome table

The python Pandas library makes it relatively simple to load this data. You might want to look into roary_plots to generate more complex plots.

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

# Load roary
roary = pd.read_table('pangenome.csv',
                      sep=',',
                      low_memory=False)
# Set index (group name)
roary.set_index('Gene', inplace=True)
# Drop the other info columns
roary.drop(list(roary.columns[:13]), axis=1, inplace=True)

# Transform it in a presence/absence matrix (1/0)
roary.replace('.{2,100}', 1, regex=True, inplace=True)
roary.replace(np.nan, 0, regex=True, inplace=True)
