Introduction

GenomicRanges and genomic Rle-objects for Python.

"Finally ... This was what Python badly needed for years." - Heng Li

Release

PyRanges is in a beta state until any possible issues with the move to pandas 1.0 have been ironed out. We are extremely responsive to bug-reports, so if you have problems or come across unexpected behavior, please create an issue.

Asking for help

Feel free to ask questions of the type "how do I do X with pyranges?" on public forums like Stack Overflow, Bioinformatics Stack Exchange or Biostars. You can use endrebak85#gmail.com to point me to the question(s).

Quick examples

import pyranges as pr
# load example datasets
exons, cpg = pr.data.exons(), pr.data.cpg()

# subsetting pyranges is easy
exons["chrY", "-",  15591259:27197945]

Features

  • fast (also in single-core mode)
  • supports multiple cores
  • memory-efficient
  • featureful
  • pythonic/pandastic
  • supports chaining with a terse syntax
  • uses Pandas DataFrames, so the whole Python data science stack works on PyRanges.

Supporting pyranges

  • most importantly, cite pyranges if you use it. It is the main metric funding sources care about.
  • use pyranges in Stack Overflow/biostars questions and answers
  • star the repo (possibly important for github visibility and as a proxy for project popularity)
  • if you are a business using pyranges, please give to one of the charities listed at https://www.givewell.org/

Documentation

https://biocore-ntnu.github.io/pyranges/

(Might be slightly out of date; watch the CHANGELOG too)

Install

The preferred way to install pyranges is through the bioconda channel:

conda install -c bioconda pyranges

You can also try pip:

pip install pyranges

PyRanges has some dependencies that are optional. They need to be manually installed if you require their functionality:

ray: multicpu # pip install -U ray
pybigwig: write bigwigs # pip install pybigwig or conda install -c bioconda pybigwig
bamread: read bam files # pip install bamread or conda install -c bioconda bamread
fisher: fast fisher exact # pip install fisher or conda install -c bioconda fisher

Since these are not needed for 99.9% percent of the pyranges functionality, they are kept separate to prevent the possibility of the pyranges-install failing due to dependencies that fail installation or conflicting dependencies.

TODO

For the future:

  • write docstrings, autogenerate API-docs

PyRanges should always be the fastest general-purpose genomics library for Python. So I will happily change the multithreading library and overlap datastructures sometime in the future, if rigorous tests show that the proposed alternatives are indeed faster. (As the multithreading requires about 30 lines of code and the overlap queries about 15, this will not be hard.)

Performance
