pybedtools.bedtool.BedTool.tabix¶
-
BedTool.
tabix
(in_place=True, force=False, is_sorted=False)[source]¶ Prepare a BedTool for use with Tabix.
Returns a new BedTool that has been BGZIP compressed and indexed by tabix.
Parameters: in_place : bool
If True (default), then assume the file is already sorted and replace the existing file with the BGZIPed version.
force : bool
If True (default is False), then overwrite both the index and the BGZIP file.
is_sorted : bool
If True (default is False), then assume the file is already sorted so that BedTool.bgzip() doesn’t have to do that work.
