</span>You are building a list of SeqRecord objects in memory, so you<br>
would want to sort that before passing it to SeqIO.write.<br>
<br>
e.g. Right now your code does something like this:<br>
<span class=""><br>
records = [] # list of SeqRecord to be written<br>
for record in SeqIO.parse(open(fasta_file_name, "rU"), "fasta"):<br>
</span> if ...:<br>
records.append(SeqRecord(...))<br>
SeqIO.write(records, out_file, "fasta")<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The easiest way to sort the records would be to make a list<br>
of tuples (score, SeqRecord) which you can then sort. Then<br>
once sorted, pull out just the SeqRecord objects for output.<br>
<br>
<br>
score_and_records = [] # list of (score, record)<br>
<span class="">for record in SeqIO.parse(open(fasta_file_name, "rU"), "fasta"):<br>
</span> if ...:<br>
score_and_records.append((peak.fold_enrichment, SeqRecord(...)))<br>
# This will sort by score since that is first in the tuples:<br>
score_and_records.sort()<br>
records = [record for (score, record) in score_and_records]<br>
SeqIO.write(records, out_file, "fasta")<br>
<br>
<br>
Does that make sense?<br>
