README - NGS-CI

A Python CLI and module for calculating per-base sequencing complexity.

NOTE: This project is pre-alpha, all of the badge links are broken and are just placeholders at the moment. Development is ongoing. But feel free to clone the repository and play with the code for yourself!

The Next Generation Sequencing Complexity Index (NGS-CI) is a Python command-line tool designed for bioinformatics applications. It creates a complexity score on a scale of 0-100 that represents the theoretical percent of possible complexity of reads aligned to a given base.

The principle goal of the library is to generate a single per-base metric to summarize sequencing complexity as a percentage of the total possible unique reads aligned to a given base.

OS X and Linux release:

pip install ngsci

Development installation:

git clone https://github.com/MatthewRalston/ngsci.git
cd ngsci
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
PYTHONPATH=$(pwd):$PYTHONPATH

CLI Usage

./bin/ngsci --help
./bin/ngsci -vv input.bam > output.txt

Check out the Readthedocs documentation, with examples and descriptions of the module usage.
