Work with genomic files correctly in Python.
Guides Python-based inspection, querying, filtering, and writing of genomic alignment, variant, and sequence files.
When to use it
Use when working with genomic files through pysam, including region queries, pileups, coverage, indexing, and CRAM references.
It changes how the agent writes Python genomic-file workflows by requiring explicit format, coordinate, reference, output, and filtering decisions.
What you provide
Requires Python 3.9 or later.
Requires pysam 0.24.1 for the documented workflows.
