NGS is a new, domain-specific API for accessing reads, alignments and pileups
|
|
produced from Next Generation Sequencing. The API itself is independent from any
|
|
particular back-end implementation, and supports use of multiple back-ends
|
|
simultaneously. It also provides a library for building new back-end "engines".
|
|
The engine for accessing SRA data is contained within the sister repository
|
|
ncbi-vdb.
|
|
|
|
The API is currently expressed in C++, Java and Python languages. The design
|
|
makes it possible to maintain a high degree of similarity between the code in
|
|
one language and code in another - especially between C++ and Java.
