Reentering an if loop after else condition is met Python3












-1















I have a csv file with gene start and end sites. I want to loop though the file, condensing overlapping regions of transcription. My data is formatted as a list of short lists (containing "chromosome number", "start site", "end site"). In my code, I'm reading in lists from the list and condensing them under a loop the specifies that they must be on the same chromosome, else exit the loop. after I exit the loop though, I was to be able take a new chromosome number as the base line and restart the loop using it. Is there a way that I can do this?

It seems to me that you would be best suited to use a function in this case. Your function can take a Chromosome number and a list as parameters. It would then process the data depending on the particular information you pass to it.



def loop_it(chromosome_number, _list):
condensed_list =
for item in _list:
if item[0] == chromosome_number:
condensed_list.append(item)
else:
pass
return condensed_list


Then you can define your list and pass it to the function along with the chromosome number you are hoping to find it on. so say you have a list:



data_list = [[7, "ATG", "GCG"],[2, "AGG", "GCG"]] #format ->["chromosome number", "start site", "end site"]



Now, you can iterate the list over and over using different chromosome numbers.



chrome7 = loop_it(7, data_list) and chrome2 = loop_it(2, data_list)
