## 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](http://www.wtfpl.net)  
**Version:** 1.3.1 (July 2024)

**Note:** It's a new project's home page. It was moved from [bitbucket: artegorov/svist4get](https://bitbucket.org/artegorov/svist4get/src/master/). 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](docs/FAQ.md) 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](docs/FAQ.md) for details.
