• mFile: uniform interface for input types including regular file, sys.stdin/stdout and StringFile.

Usage

>>> import ngslib
>>> for tbed in ngslib.IO.BioReader('test.bed','bed'):
        print tbed

>>> bwf = ngslib.DB('test.bw','bigwig')
>>> for wig in bwf.fetch('chr1',1000,2000):
        print wig
>>> depth = bwf.pileup('chr1',3000,4000)
>>> bwf.close()
