Description: tools biological sequences: bam-filter, count-reads, vcf-check
This package provides several tools that (at least at the time of their
creation) provide functionalities beyond the routine provided by samtools
and other reverse dependencies of the htslib.
.
These new tools are
• bam-filter : filter BAM/CRAM/SAM files with a simple expression language
• count-reads: count BAM/CRAM reads in regions given in a BED file
• vcf-check : check regions of a VCF against a background for missing chunks
.
and yes, as the name suggests, these tools are all implemented in nim,
using the nim-hts (upstream: hts-nim) wrapper for the htslib.
