clodius 0.20.1

Tile generation for big data

Clodius

Displaying large amounts of data often requires first turning it into not-so-large amounts of data. Clodius is a program and library designed to aggregate large datasets to make them easy to display at different resolutions.

Demo

Install the clodius package:

pip install clodius

And use it aggregate a bigWig file:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hms-dbmi/clodius/develop/test/sample_data/geneAnnotationsExonsUnions.short.bed \
  > /tmp/sample.short.bed
clodius aggregate bedfile /tmp/sample.short.bed

The output files can then be displayed using higlass-manage. For more information about viewing these types of files take a look at the higlass docs.

More examples are available.
