# `obitable`: Row-Oriented Data Table for Biological Sequences
|
||
|
||
The `obitable` package provides a lightweight, row-oriented data table structure (`Table`) for managing biological sequence metadata in Go.
|
||
|
||
- **Core Types**:
|
||
- `Header`: An ordered column list (alias for `stl4go.Ordered`).
|
||
- `Row`: A flexible map from column names to values (`map[string]interface{}`).
|
||
- `Table`: Holds schema info via `ColType` (column → Go type) and a slice of rows.
|
||
|
||
- **Row Generators**:
|
||
- `RowFromMap`: Wraps a generic map into a callable row accessor, substituting missing keys with `navalue`.
|
||
- `RowFromBioSeq`: Specialized generator for `obiseq.BioSequence` objects, mapping standard fields (`id`, `sequence`, etc.) and annotations dynamically.
|
||
|
||
- **Semantic Features**:
|
||
- Supports heterogeneous data types per column (via `reflect.Type`).
|
||
- Enables uniform access to sequence metadata and custom annotations.
|
||
- Designed for interoperability with `obiseq` (OBITools4’s biological sequence module).
|
||
- Facilitates lazy or on-demand row construction—ideal for streaming pipelines.
|
||
|
||
- **Use Cases**:
|
||
- Converting sequence datasets into tabular formats (e.g., for export, filtering).
|
||
- Building intermediate representations in bioinformatics workflows.
