HTSeq

Description

{{{name}}} website  
HTSeq is a Python package that provides infrastructure to process data from high-throughput sequencing assays.

See the HTSeq documentation chapter A tour through HTSeq first for an overview on the kind of analysis you can do with HTSeq and the design of the package, and then look at the reference documentation.

While the main purpose of HTSeq is to allow you to write your own analysis scripts, customized to your needs, there are also a couple of stand-alone scripts for common tasks that can be used without any Python knowledge. See the Scripts section in the overview below for what is available.
