class MultipleSeqAlignment:
    """Represents a classical multiple sequence alignment (MSA).

    By this we mean a collection of sequences (usually shown as rows) which
    are all the same length (usually with gap characters for insertions or
    padding). The data can then be regarded as a matrix of letters, with well
    defined columns.

    You would typically create an MSA by loading an alignment file with the
    AlignIO module:

    >>> from Bio import AlignIO
    >>> align = AlignIO.read("Clustalw/opuntia.aln", "clustal")
    >>> print(align)
    Alignment with 7 rows and 156 columns
    TATACATTAAAGAAGGGGGATGCGGATAAATGGAAAGGCGAAAG...AGA gi|6273285|gb|AF191659.1|AF191
    TATACATTAAAGAAGGGGGATGCGGATAAATGGAAAGGCGAAAG...AGA gi|6273284|gb|AF191658.1|AF191
    TATACATTAAAGAAGGGGGATGCGGATAAATGGAAAGGCGAAAG...AGA gi|6273287|gb|AF191661.1|AF191
    TATACATAAAAGAAGGGGGATGCGGATAAATGGAAAGGCGAAAG...AGA gi|6273286|gb|AF191660.1|AF191
    TATACATTAAAGGAGGGGGATGCGGATAAATGGAAAGGCGAAAG...AGA gi|6273290|gb|AF191664.1|AF191
    TATACATTAAAGGAGGGGGATGCGGATAAATGGAAAGGCGAAAG...AGA gi|6273289|gb|AF191663.1|AF191
    TATACATTAAAGGAGGGGGATGCGGATAAATGGAAAGGCGAAAG...AGA gi|6273291|gb|AF191665.1|AF191

    In some respects you can treat these objects as lists of SeqRecord objects,
    each representing a row of the alignment. Iterating over an alignment gives
    the SeqRecord object for each row:

    >>> len(align)
    7
    >>> for record in align:
    ...     print("%s %i" % (record.id, len(record)))
    ...
    gi|6273285|gb|AF191659.1|AF191 156
    gi|6273284|gb|AF191658.1|AF191 156
    gi|6273287|gb|AF191661.1|AF191 156
    gi|6273286|gb|AF191660.1|AF191 156
    gi|6273290|gb|AF191664.1|AF191 156
    gi|6273289|gb|AF191663.1|AF191 156
    gi|6273291|gb|AF191665.1|AF191 156

    You can also access individual rows as SeqRecord objects via their index:

    >>> print(align[0].id)
    gi|6273285|gb|AF191659.1|AF191
    >>> print(align[-1].id)
    gi|6273291|gb|AF191665.1|AF191

    And extract columns as strings:

    >>> print(align[:, 1])
    AAAAAAA

    Or, take just the first ten columns as a sub-alignment:

    >>> print(align[:, :10])
    Alignment with 7 rows and 10 columns
    TATACATTAA gi|6273285|gb|AF191659.1|AF191
    TATACATTAA gi|6273284|gb|AF191658.1|AF191
    TATACATTAA gi|6273287|gb|AF191661.1|AF191
    TATACATAAA gi|6273286|gb|AF191660.1|AF191
    TATACATTAA gi|6273290|gb|AF191664.1|AF191
    TATACATTAA gi|6273289|gb|AF191663.1|AF191
    TATACATTAA gi|6273291|gb|AF191665.1|AF191

    Combining this alignment slicing with alignment addition allows you to
    remove a section of the alignment. For example, taking just the first
    and last ten columns:

    >>> print(align[:, :10] + align[:, -10:])
    Alignment with 7 rows and 20 columns
    TATACATTAAGTGTACCAGA gi|6273285|gb|AF191659.1|AF191

    Note - This object does NOT attempt to model the kind of alignments used
    in next generation sequencing with multiple sequencing reads which are
    much shorter than the alignment, and where there is usually a consensus or
    reference sequence with special status.

        If you have two multiple sequence alignments (MSAs), there are two ways to think
        about adding them - by row or by column. Using the extend method adds by row.
        Using the addition operator adds by column. For example,

        >>> from Bio.Seq import Seq
        >>> from Bio.SeqRecord import SeqRecord
        >>> from Bio.Align import MultipleSeqAlignment
        >>> a1 = SeqRecord(Seq("AAAAC"), id="Alpha")
        >>> b1 = SeqRecord(Seq("AAA-C"), id="Beta")
        >>> c1 = SeqRecord(Seq("AAAAG"), id="Gamma")
        >>> a2 = SeqRecord(Seq("GT"), id="Alpha")
        >>> b2 = SeqRecord(Seq("GT"), id="Beta")
        >>> c2 = SeqRecord(Seq("GT"), id="Gamma")
        >>> left = MultipleSeqAlignment([a1, b1, c1],
        ...                             annotations={"tool": "demo", "name": "start"},
        ...                             column_annotations={"stats": "CCCXC"})
        >>> right = MultipleSeqAlignment([a2, b2, c2],
        ...                             annotations={"tool": "demo", "name": "end"},
        ...                             column_annotations={"stats": "CC"})

        Now, let's look at these two alignments:

        >>> print(left)
        Alignment with 3 rows and 5 columns
        AAAAC Alpha
        AAA-C Beta
        AAAAG Gamma
        >>> print(right)
        Alignment with 3 rows and 2 columns
        GT Alpha
        GT Beta
        GT Gamma

        And add them:

        >>> combined = left + right
        >>> print(combined)
        Alignment with 3 rows and 7 columns
        AAAACGT Alpha
        AAA-CGT Beta
        AAAAGGT Gamma

        For this to work, both alignments must have the same number of records (here
        they both have 3 rows):

        >>> len(left)
        3
        >>> len(right)
        3
        >>> len(combined)
        3

        The individual rows are SeqRecord objects, and these can be added together. Refer
        to the SeqRecord documentation for details of how the annotation is handled. This
        example is a special case in that both original alignments shared the same names,
        meaning when the rows are added they also get the same name.

        Any common annotations are preserved, but differing annotation is lost. This is
        the same behaviour used in the SeqRecord annotations and is designed to prevent
        accidental propagation of inappropriate values:

        >>> combined.annotations
        {'tool': 'demo'}

        Similarly any common per-column-annotations are combined:

        >>> combined.column_annotations
        {'stats': 'CCCXCCC'}

    def __getitem__(self, index):
        """Access part of the alignment.

        Depending on the indices, you can get a SeqRecord object
        (representing a single row), a Seq object (for a single columns),
        a string (for a single characters) or another alignment
        (representing some part or all of the alignment).

        align[r,c] gives a single character as a string
        align[r] gives a row as a SeqRecord
        align[r,:] gives a row as a SeqRecord
        align[:,c] gives a column as a Seq

        align[:] and align[:,:] give a copy of the alignment

        Anything else gives a sub alignment, e.g.
        align[0:2] or align[0:2,:] uses only row 0 and 1
        align[:,1:3] uses only columns 1 and 2
        align[0:2,1:3] uses only rows 0 & 1 and only cols 1 & 2

        We'll use the following example alignment here for illustration:

        >>> from Bio.Seq import Seq
        >>> from Bio.SeqRecord import SeqRecord
        >>> from Bio.Align import MultipleSeqAlignment
        >>> a = SeqRecord(Seq("AAAACGT"), id="Alpha")
        >>> b = SeqRecord(Seq("AAA-CGT"), id="Beta")
        >>> c = SeqRecord(Seq("AAAAGGT"), id="Gamma")
        >>> d = SeqRecord(Seq("AAAACGT"), id="Delta")
        >>> e = SeqRecord(Seq("AAA-GGT"), id="Epsilon")
        >>> align = MultipleSeqAlignment([a, b, c, d, e])

        You can access a row of the alignment as a SeqRecord using an integer
        index (think of the alignment as a list of SeqRecord objects here):

        >>> first_record = align[0]
        >>> print("%s %s" % (first_record.id, first_record.seq))
        Alpha AAAACGT
        >>> last_record = align[-1]
        >>> print("%s %s" % (last_record.id, last_record.seq))
        Epsilon AAA-GGT

        You can also access use python's slice notation to create a sub-alignment
        containing only some of the SeqRecord objects:

        >>> sub_alignment = align[2:5]
        >>> print(sub_alignment)
        Alignment with 3 rows and 7 columns
        AAAAGGT Gamma
        AAAACGT Delta
        AAA-GGT Epsilon

        This includes support for a step, i.e. align[start:end:step], which
        can be used to select every second sequence:

        >>> sub_alignment = align[::2]
        >>> print(sub_alignment)
        Alignment with 3 rows and 7 columns
        AAAACGT Alpha
        AAAAGGT Gamma
        AAA-GGT Epsilon

        Or to get a copy of the alignment with the rows in reverse order:

        >>> rev_alignment = align[::-1]
        >>> print(rev_alignment)
        Alignment with 5 rows and 7 columns
        AAA-GGT Epsilon
        AAAACGT Delta
        AAAAGGT Gamma
        AAA-CGT Beta
        AAAACGT Alpha

        You can also use two indices to specify both rows and columns. Using simple
        integers gives you the entry as a single character string. e.g.

        >>> align[3, 4]
        'C'

        This is equivalent to:

        >>> align[3][4]
        'C'

        or:

        >>> align[3].seq[4]
        'C'

        To get a single column (as a string) use this syntax:

        >>> align[:, 4]
        'CCGCG'

        Or, to get part of a column,

        >>> align[1:3, 4]
        'CG'

        However, in general you get a sub-alignment,

        >>> print(align[1:5, 3:6])
        Alignment with 4 rows and 3 columns
        -CG Beta
        AGG Gamma
        ACG Delta
        -GG Epsilon

        This should all seem familiar to anyone who has used the NumPy
        array or matrix objects.

        This sorts the rows alphabetically using the SeqRecord object id by
        default. The sorting can be controlled by supplying a key function
        which must map each SeqRecord to a sort value.

        This is useful if you want to add two alignments which use the same
        record identifiers, but in a different order. For example,

        >>> from Bio.Seq import Seq
        >>> from Bio.SeqRecord import SeqRecord
        >>> from Bio.Align import MultipleSeqAlignment
        >>> align1 = MultipleSeqAlignment([

        ...              SeqRecord(Seq("CGCT"), id="Chicken"),
        ...          ])

        If you simple try and add these without sorting, you get this:

        >>> print(align1 + align2)
        Alignment with 3 rows and 8 columns
        ACGTCGGT <unknown id>
        ACGGCGTT <unknown id>
        ACGCCGCT Chicken

        Consult the SeqRecord documentation which explains why you get a
        default value when annotation like the identifier doesn't match up.
        However, if we sort the alignments first, then add them we get the
        desired result:

        >>> align1.sort()
        >>> align2.sort()
        >>> print(align1 + align2)
        Alignment with 3 rows and 8 columns
        ACGCCGCT Chicken
        ACGTCGTT Human
        ACGGCGGT Mouse

        As an example using a different sort order, you could sort on the
        GC content of each sequence.

        >>> from Bio.SeqUtils import gc_fraction
        >>> print(align1)
        Alignment with 3 rows and 4 columns

        Alignment with 3 rows and 4 columns
        ACGT Human
        ACGC Chicken

        but backwards:

        >>> align1.sort(reverse=True)
        >>> print(align1)

        This method is primarily employed in Biopython's alignment parsers,
        though it may be useful for other purposes.

        For an alignment consisting of N sequences, printed as N lines with
        the same number of columns, where gaps are represented by dashes,
        this method will calculate the sequence coordinates that define the
        alignment. The coordinates are returned as a numpy array of integers,
        and can be used to create an Alignment object.

        The argument skipped columns should be None (the default) or an empty
        list. If skipped_columns is a list, then the indices of any columns in
        the alignment with a gap in all lines are appended to skipped_columns.

        This is an example for the alignment of three sequences TAGGCATACGTG,
        AACGTACGT, and ACGCATACTTG, with gaps in the second and third sequence:

        For sequence alignments, each line has at most 80 columns.
        The first 10 columns show the (possibly truncated) sequence name,
        which may be the id attribute of a SeqRecord, or otherwise 'target'
        or 'query' for pairwise alignments.
        The next 10 columns show the sequence coordinate, using zero-based
        counting as usual in Python.
        The remaining 60 columns shown the sequence, using dashes to represent
        gaps.
        At the end of the alignment, the end coordinates are shown on the right
        of the sequence, again in zero-based coordinates.

        Pairwise alignments have an additional line between the two sequences
        showing whether the sequences match ('|') or mismatch ('.'), or if
        there is a gap ('-').
        The coordinates shown for this line are the column indices, which can
        be useful when extracting a subalignment.

        For example,

        >>> from Bio.Align import PairwiseAligner
        >>> aligner = PairwiseAligner()

        >>> seqA = "TTAACCCCATTTG"
        >>> seqB = "AAGCCCCTTT"
        >>> seqC = "AAAGGGGCTT"

        >>> alignments = aligner.align(seqA, seqB)
        >>> len(alignments)
        1
        >>> alignment = alignments[0]
        >>> print(alignment)
        target            0 TTAA-CCCCATTTG 13
                          0 --||-||||-|||- 14
        query             0 --AAGCCCC-TTT- 10
        <BLANKLINE>

        Note that seqC is the reverse complement of seqB. Aligning it to the
        reverse strand gives the same alignment, but the query coordinates are
        switched:

        >>> alignments = aligner.align(seqA, seqC, strand="-")
        >>> len(alignments)
        1
        >>> alignment = alignments[0]
        >>> print(alignment)
        target            0 TTAA-CCCCATTTG 13
                          0 --||-||||-|||- 14

        sequence is

        For some applications (for example, to define a scoring matrix from
        the substitution matrix), a symmetric matrix may be preferred, which

        T  1.5  3.5  0.5 35.0

        The matrix is now symmetric, with counts divided equally on both sides
        of the diagonal:

        >>> m['C', 'T']
        3.5
        >>> m['T', 'C']
        3.5

        The total number of substitutions between T's and C's in the alignment

class PairwiseAligner(_aligners.PairwiseAligner):
    """Performs pairwise sequence alignment using dynamic programming.

    This provides functions to get global and local alignments between two
    sequences.  A global alignment finds the best concordance between all
    characters in two sequences.  A local alignment finds just the
    subsequences that align the best.

    To perform a pairwise sequence alignment, first create a PairwiseAligner
    object.  This object stores the match and mismatch scores, as well as the
    gap scores.  Typically, match scores are positive, while mismatch scores
    and gap scores are negative or zero.  By default, the match score is 1,
    and the mismatch and gap scores are zero.  Based on the values of the gap
    scores, a PairwiseAligner object automatically chooses the appropriate
    alignment algorithm (the Needleman-Wunsch, Smith-Waterman, Gotoh, or
    Waterman-Smith-Beyer global or local alignment algorithm).

    Calling the "score" method on the aligner with two sequences as arguments
    will calculate the alignment score between the two sequences.
    Calling the "align" method on the aligner with two sequences as arguments
    will return a generator yielding the alignments between the two
    sequences.

    The alignment function can also use known matrices already included in
    Biopython:

    >>> aligner = Align.PairwiseAligner()
    >>> aligner.substitution_matrix = substitution_matrices.load("BLOSUM62")

    Number of alignments: 1
    >>> alignment = alignments[0]
    >>> print("Score = %.1f" % alignment.score)
    Score = 13.0
    >>> print(alignment)
    target            0 KEVLA 5
                      0 -|||- 5
    query             0 -EVL- 3
    <BLANKLINE>

    You can also set the value of attributes directly during construction
    of the PairwiseAligner object by providing them as keyword arguments:

    >>> aligner = Align.PairwiseAligner(mode='global', match_score=2, mismatch_score=-1)
    >>> for alignment in aligner.align("TACCG", "ACG"):
    ...     print("Score = %.1f:" % alignment.score)
    ...     print(alignment)
