<p>Hello Omar,</p>

<p>My name is Thomas Walsh from the Ensembl Compara team, and I helped create the EMF files that you've expressed an interest in.</p>

<p>I understand that you're especially interested in accessing GERP and alignment data together. Is it necessary for this to be taken from an EMF file? Or are you primarily interested in loading the GERP and associated alignment data into Python, regardless of how it got there?</p>

<p>All the best,</p>

<p>Thomas Walsh.</p>

<p>-------- Forwarded Message --------<br />Subject: [ensembl-dev] Python Script to read emf dump files?<br />Date: Thu, 2 Mar 2023 13:21:18 -0500<br />From: Omar Gamel <omar.gamel@utoronto.ca><br />Reply-To: Ensembl developers list <dev@ensembl.org><br />To: dev@ensembl.org</p>

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I am looking for a python package or script that can parse the alignment emf files in the ENSEMBL FTP dump into an object I can manipulate<br />Example files here: https://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/current_emf/ensembl-compara/multiple_alignments/90_mammals.epo_extended/<br />I am particularly interested in the GERP data along with the alignment.</p>

<p>I see the example scripts provided are largely in perl: https://github.com/Ensembl/ensembl-compara/tree/release/109/scripts/dumps</p>

<p>Please let me know where I can find such a python resource.</p>

<p>Thank you<br />Omar</p>
