What problem does it solve?

Analyze genomic intervals efficiently to enable fast querying, overlap detection, and scalable interval workflows in genomics research.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Overlap detection: fast, index-backed overlap queries across BED-like data.
• Coverage analysis: generate and manipulate coverage tracks for visualization and downstream analysis.
• Genomic tokenization: convert intervals into ML-ready tokens for modeling and feature encoding.
• Reference sequence management: fetch and validate reference sequences and compute digests with refget.
• Use case: streamline regulatory element annotation, variant intersection, and ML preprocessing pipelines in genomic research.

Quick Start

Install Rust and cargo, then run gtars to analyze genomic intervals and generate overlap reports.
