Working with wiggle tracks in Python
Project description
Working with wiggle tracks in Python.
Wiggelen is a Python library for working with wiggle tracks (WIG files). It also provides a command line interface to some of its functionality.
The main goal of Wiggelen is to provide light-weight and unified access to wiggle tracks.
