Pysam offers Python bindings to htslib for reading and writing SAM/BAM/CRAM alignments, VCF/BCF variants, and FASTA/FASTQ sequences, enabling coverage stats, pileup analysis, variant queries, and seamless integration into NGS pipelines.

TileDB-VCF lets you ingest, store, query, and export large genomic VCF/BCF datasets using TileDB’s sparse arrays, supporting incremental sample growth, parallel regions queries, and cloud-local interoperability for population genomics workflows.

PySam provides a powerful Python interface for low-level, streaming access to HTSlib-supported genomic data formats. It enables reading, querying, filtering, and writing complex formats such as SAM/BAM/CRAM, VCF/BCF, FASTA/FASTQ, and tabix-indexed tables. It is essential for bioinformatics pipelines requiring precise control over genomic data manipulation, including pileup and coverage calculations.

TileDB-VCF is a high-performance library for scalable storage and retrieval of genomic variant-call data (VCF/BCF). Built on TileDB's sparse array technology, it enables efficient ingestion of large datasets, supports incremental sample additions, and allows for highly optimized parallel queries across genomic regions and multiple samples. Ideal for building population genomics databases, cohort studies, and conducting large-scale association studies.
