Abstract
Abstract Motivation Understanding the structure of sequenced fragments from genomics libraries is essential for accurate read preprocessing. Currently, different assays and sequencing technologies require custom scripts and programs that do not leverage the common structure of sequence elements present in genomics libraries. Results We present seqspec, a machine-readable specification for libraries produced by genomics assays that facilitates standardization of preprocessing and enables tracking and comparison of genomics assays. Availability and implementation The specification and associated seqspec command line tool is available at https://www.doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10213865.
期刊介绍:
The leading journal in its field, Bioinformatics publishes the highest quality scientific papers and review articles of interest to academic and industrial researchers. Its main focus is on new developments in genome bioinformatics and computational biology. Two distinct sections within the journal - Discovery Notes and Application Notes- focus on shorter papers; the former reporting biologically interesting discoveries using computational methods, the latter exploring the applications used for experiments.
