Description
Svist4get is a simple bioinformatics tool for visualization of genomic signal tracks in user-defined genomic windows, either arbitrary selected by genomic coordinates or anchored to particular transcripts or genes.
Supported genomic signal tracks: bedGraph
Supported genome annotation: GTF (Ensembl or GENCODE)
Supported output: vector (pdf) and raster (png)
Programming language: Python 3
OS: Linux, Mac OS
Python dependencies: reportlab, statistics, biopython, configs, wand, argparse, pybedtools
OS-level dependencies: bedtools, ImageMagick (pdf-to-png conversion)
License: WTFPL
Version: 1.3.1 (July 2024)
Note: It's a new project's home page. It was moved from bitbucket: artegorov/svist4get. All new releases (starting with v. 1.3) of svist4get will be published only on this page (and pypi).
Installation
You need those tools at the OS level (probably installable as Linux packages): bedtools and ImageMagick (Ubuntu users, please consult FAQ regarding possible issues with ImageMagick).
- The most stable release of svist4get can be installed directly from pypi:
python3 -m pip install svist4get
- The development version is available at github :
git clone https://github.com/art-egorov/svist4get.git
cd svist4get
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
python3 -m pip install wheel
python3 setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
python3 -m pip install .

Known issues
Older versions of pybedtools (the necessary package) may fail to compile under Python 3.7. Usage of Python 3.6 is thus advised.
GTF annotations other than Ensembl and GENCODE may be parsed incorrectly in some cases. Usage of those annotation sources is advised.
pdf-to-png conversion may fail in some OS/ImageMagick combinations. Please consult FAQ for details.
