g2gtools.bins module

g2gtools.bins.bin_info()

Useful for debugging: how large is each bin, and what are the bin IDs?

g2gtools.bins.bins(start, stop, fmt='gff', one=True)

Uses the definition of a “genomic bin” described in Fig 7 of http://genome.cshlp.org/content/12/6/996.abstract.

one : boolean

If one=True (default), then only return the smallest bin that completely contains these coordinates (useful for assigning a single bin).

If one=False, then return the set of all bins that overlap these coordinates (useful for looking for features that could intersect)

fmt : ‘gff’ | ‘bed’

This specifies 1-based start coords (gff) or 0-based start coords (bed)
