CodonUsage

A ruby gem that parses Codon Usage table provided by: http://www.kazusa.or.jp/codon/ that output the information in a hash or JSON format. You can find this gem on http://rubygems.org/gems/CodonUsage

0.0.5

I write this gem because bioruby doesn't provide any library for me to do this job, and this is my first ruby gem. Hope this gem can help people in the bioinformatics field! :)

* Please use Ruby 2.0 or above

$ gem install CodonUsage

require "CodonUsage" # load the gem
foo = CodonUsage::KazusaDB.new(aa: "1", species: "9606") # Noted that parameters should be STRING
p foo.getURL
p foo.getHash
p foo.to_json
p foo.getCodonTable

for the argument "species", default value = "9606" which is the ID of Homo sapiens (Human).

for the arguement "aa", it is the genetic code, default value = "1", for other values, please refer to the following list:

• 1: Standard
