The refget Python package
The refget Python package provides a Python implementation of the GA4GH Refget Specifications, which define standards for identifying and distributing reference biological sequences, like reference genomes. It provides standards at 3 levels of data: sequences, sequence collections, and pangenomes (in progress).
The refget Python package includes these capabilities:
| Standard | Local use (computing digests locally) |
Client (connecting to a remote API) |
API (implementing an http interface) |
Agent (managing a SQL database) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sequences | ||||
| Sequence Collections | ||||
| Pangenomes | X | X |
Install
The built package is hosted on PyPI. Install with your flavor of:
pip install refget
