Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
The availability of terabytes of RNA-Seq data and continuous emergence of new analysis tools, enable unprecedented biological insight. There is a pressing requirement for a framework that allows for fast, efficient, manageable, and reproducible RNA-Seq analysis. We have developed a Python package, (pyrpipe), that enables straightforward development of flexible, reproducible and easy-to-debug computational pipelines purely in Python, in an object-oriented manner. pyrpipe provides access to popular RNA-Seq tools, within Python, via high-level APIs. Pipelines can be customized by integrating new Python code, third-party programs, or Python libraries. Users can create checkpoints in the pipeline or integrate pyrpipe into a workflow management system, thus allowing execution on multiple computing environments, and enabling efficient resource management. pyrpipe produces detailed analysis, and benchmark reports which can be shared or included in publications. pyrpipe is implemented in Python and is compatible with Python versions 3.6 and higher. To illustrate the rich functionality of pyrpipe, we provide case studies using RNA-Seq data from GTEx, SARS-CoV-2-infected human cells, and Zea mays.
