Advances in sequencing technology have made it possible to generate large numbers of long, high-accuracy sequencing reads. For instance, the new PacBio Sequel platform can generate hundreds of thousands of high-quality circular consensus sequences in a single run (Hebert et al., 2018; Rhoads & Au, 2015). Good programs exist for aligning these reads for genome assembly (Chaisson & Tesler, 2012; Li, 2018). However, these long reads can also be used for other purposes, such as sequencing PCR amplicons that contain various features of interest. For instance, PacBio circular consensus sequences have been used to identify the mutations in influenza viruses in single cells (Russell et al, 2019), or to link barcodes to gene mutants in deep mutational scanning (Matreyek et al., 2018). For such applications, the alignment of the sequences to the targets may be fairly trivial, but it is not trivial to then parse specific features of interest (such as mutations, unique molecular identifiers, cell barcodes, and flanking sequences) from these alignments. Here we describe alignparse, a Python package for parsing complex sets of features from long sequences that map to known targets. Specifically, it allows the user to provide complex target sequences in Genbank Flat File format that contain an arbitrary number of user-defined sub-sequence features (Sayers et al., 2019). It then aligns the sequencing reads to these targets and filters alignments based on whether the user-specified features are present with the desired identities (which can be set to different thresholds for different features). Finally, it parses out the sequences, mutations, and/or accuracy (sequence quality) of these features as specified by the user. The flexibility of this package therefore fulfills the need for a tool to extract and analyze complex sets of features in large numbers of long sequencing reads.
