| Popis: | MotivationAnalyzing a functional genomics experiment, such as ATAC-, ChIP-, or RNA-sequencing, requires genomic resources such as a reference genome assembly and gene annotation. These data can generally be retrieved from different organizations and in different versions. Most bioinformatic workflows require the user to supply this genomic data manually, which can be a tedious and error-prone process.ResultsHere, we present genomepy, which can search, download, and preprocess the right genomic data for your analysis. Genomepy can search genomic data on NCBI, Ensembl, UCSC, and GENCODE, and inspect available gene annotations to enable an informed decision. The selected genome and gene annotation can be downloaded and preprocessed with sensible, yet controllable, defaults. Additional supporting data can be automatically generated or downloaded, such as aligner indexes, genome metadata, and blacklists.Availability and implementationGenomepy is freely available at https://github.com/vanheeringen-lab/genomepy under the MIT license and can be installed through pip or Bioconda. |
