What problem does it solve?

Genomic data analysis requires robust, consolidated tooling to read, manipulate, and write common genomic formats (SAM/BAM/CRAM, VCF/BCF, FASTA/FASTQ) within Python pipelines.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Read/write SAM/BAM/CRAM alignments and VCF/BCF variants
  • Query reference sequences and perform pileup for coverage
  • Integrate multiple file types in end-to-end bioinformatics workflows
  • Use Case: Build pipelines that extract variant contexts, compute coverage, and validate results across samples.

Quick Start

Install pysam and open a BAM file with AlignmentFile to iterate reads.
