Bgen file format reader

Project description

bgen-reader

A bgen file format reader.

Bgen is a file format for storing large genetic datasets. It supports both unphased genotypes and phased haplotype data with variable ploidy and number of alleles. It was designed to provides a compact data representation without sacrificing variant access performance.

This python package is a wrapper around the bgen library, a low-memory footprint reader that efficiently reads bgen files. It fully supports the bgen format specifications: 1.2 and 1.3; as well as their optional compressed formats.

Install

It can be installed via conda

conda install -c conda-forge bgen-reader

Or via pip

pip install bgen-reader

Documentation

Please, refer to https://bgen-reader.readthedocs.io.

Troubleshooting

fatal error: bgen.h: No such file or directory

This means that bgen C library is not installed (or could not be found). Please, follow the instructions in https://github.com/limix/bgen to install it, and try installing bgen-reader again.
