ggetrs is a free, open-source command-line tool that enables efficient querying
of genomic databases.
It consists of a collection of separate but interoperable modules, each designed
to facilitate one type of database querying in a single line of code.
This is a rust reimplentation of the original python-based program gget and was rewritten to be significantly faster. There are some minor semantic changes between function calls from the python version but a description for each tool is provided below.
This tool is written fully in rust - but allows for a python interface using pyo3.
The command line tool is distributed via crates.io and can be installed via the rust package manager cargo.
bash
cargo install ggetrs
Alternative installation instructions as well as the python module installation can be found on the homepage here.
All usage and function documentation for the command line and python utilities can be found on the ggetrs homepage.
ggetrs is implemented as a rust library as well as a standalone binary so all
documentation for API calls and Data Structures can be found on
docs.rs.
This project is intended to be open-source and contributions are very welcome!
If you are new to rust or open source in general but still want to contribute please don't hesitate to reach out! I would be more than happy to help guide you through building your first module.
All new additions must pass and follow current testing standards.
