# biobb_dna
## Introduction
Biobb_dna is a package composed of different analyses for
nucleic acid trajectories and helical parameters.
Biobb (BioExcel building blocks) packages are Python building blocks that
create new layer of compatibility and interoperability over popular
bioinformatics tools.
The latest documentation of this package can be found in our readthedocs site:
[latest API documentation](http://biobb_dna.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).
## Version
v2.0.0 2020.4
## Installation
If you have no experience with anaconda, please first take a look to the [New with anaconda?](https://biobb-documentation.readthedocs.io/en/latest/first_steps.html#new-with-anaconda) section of the [official documentation](https://biobb-documentation.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).
### Download repository
Although the biobb_dna repository is available at GitHub and thus you can clone it, we strongly recommend you to [**download it compressed**](https://github.com/bioexcel/biobb_dna/archive/master.zip) and start your new project from scratch.
### Create new conda environment
Once you have the project unzipped in your computer, please follow the next steps to create a new conda environment:
```console
cd biobb_dna-master
conda env create -f conda_env/environment.yml
```
### Update environment paths
Edit **conda_env/biobb_dna.pth** with the paths to your *biobb_dna* folder. Example:
```console
/home/user_name/projects/biobb_dna/
/home/user_name/projects/biobb_dna/biobb_dna/biobb_dna
```
Copy the edited **conda_env/biobb_dna.pth** file to the site-packages folder of your environment. This folder is in */[anaconda-path]/envs/biobb_dna/lib/python3.7/site-packages*, where */[anaconda-path]* is usually */anaconda3* or */opt/conda*.
```console
cp conda_env/biobb_dna.pth /[anaconda-path]/envs/biobb_dna/lib/python3.7/site-packages
```
### Activate environment
Then, activate the recently created *biobb_dna* conda environment:
```console
conda activate biobb_dna
```
### Create repository
This template includes some folders not standard for a biobb, such as **biobb_dna/adapters/**, **biobb_dna/notebooks/** or **conda_env/**. For the sake of having a pure biobb structure, you should uncomment the three last lines of the **.gitignore** file before creating a new git repository:
```console
biobb_dna/adapters
biobb_dna/notebooks
conda_env
```
Then, inialitize repository:
```console
git init
```
### Binary paths configuration
Additionally, it's recommendable to configure binary paths in your environment in order to ease the command line execution. More info about this subject in the [Binary path configuration](https://biobb-documentation.readthedocs.io/en/latest/execution.html#binary-path-configuration) section of the [official documentation](https://biobb-documentation.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).
