Variant Tools

A command line tool for the manipulation, annotation, and analysis of genetic variants from next-generation sequencing studies.

Installation

If you are using a conda environment, you can install variant tools with command

conda install variant_tools -c bioconda -c conda-forge

Option -c conda-forge is required to enforce the use of conda-forge version of dependencies (e.g. boost-cpp) over their counterpoarts in the base channel.

Otherwise, you can try to install it through pip

pip install variant_tools

You will need to install

• libboost
• gsl
• numpy
• Cython
• hdf5
• blosc
• A C++ compiler such as gcc

which, in a conda environment, could be installed with command

conda install -c conda-forge boost-cpp gsl numpy cython blosc hdf5

This method can be used if you download or clone the latest version of variant tools from this repository.
