bio-samtools-server

This is a standalone server to query BAM files (and the corresponding reference). The server will return the content of a BAM file in the selected folder when the server is started up. The server used is sintra.

Note: this software is under active development!

Installation

gem install bio-samtools-server

http://localhost:4567/test_chr.fasta/testu/wig?region=chr_1:1-100&step_size=5

the param step_size sets the number of positions to be averaged. See the wiggle documentation
