Glossary

Sample

a python object created with rnavigate.Sample

Data keyword

a string that points to data within a sample

Data object

an rnavigate object representation of data

contact distance

sequence

This refers to an RNA sequence. As an argument, the value can be a sequence string (e.g.: "AUGCGUCGGUGUCUACUGA"), a path to a fasta file containing only 1 sequence (e.g.: "./data/my_sequence.fasta") any rnavigate data object, or a pandas.DataFrame which contains a “Sequence” column with the nucleotide identity sorted by position
