PyRanges is a Python library for efficient and intuitive manipulation of genomics data, particularly genomic intervals (like genes, genomic features, or reads). The library is optimized for fast querying and manipulation of genomic annotations. It enables intuitive and highly efficient pipelines for genomic analysis.
"Finally ... This was what Python badly needed for years." - Heng Li
