pysam

Scalable toolkit for analyzing single-cell gene expression data, including preprocessing, visualization, clustering, and trajectory inference.

The main purpose of HTSlib is to provide access to genomic information files, both alignment data (SAM, BAM, and CRAM formats) and variant data (VCF and BCF formats). The library also provides interfaces to access and index genome reference data in FASTA format and tab-delimited files with genomic coordinates. It is utilized and incorporated into both SAMtools and BCFtools.

Pythonic access to FASTA files.

Cython + HTSlib == fast VCF parsing; even faster parsing than pyVCF.

Freely available tools for biological computing in Python, with included cookbook, packaging and thorough documentation. Part of the [Open Bioinformatics Foundation](http://open-bio.org/). Contains the very useful [Entrez](https://biopython.org/DIST/docs/api/Bio.Entrez-module.html) package for API access to the NCBI databases.
