Motivation Analyzing a functional genomics experiment, such as ATAC-, ChIP- or RNA-sequencing, requires genomic resources such as a reference genome assembly and gene annotation. These data can generally be retrieved from different organizations and in different versions. Most bioinformatic workflows require the user to supply this genomic data manually, which can be a tedious and error-prone process. Results Here we present genomepy, which can search, download, and preprocess the right genomic data for your analysis. Genomepy can search genomic data on NCBI, Ensembl, UCSC and GENCODE, and inspect available gene annotations to enable an informed decision. The selected genome and gene annotation can be downloaded and preprocessed with sensible, yet controllable, defaults. Additional supporting data can be automatically generated or downloaded, such as aligner indexes, genome metadata and blacklists. Availability Genomepy is freely available at https://github.com/vanheeringen-lab/genomepy under the MIT license and can be installed through pip or Bioconda. Supplementary information Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
