What is Python?

Python is a clear and powerful object-oriented programming language, comparable to Perl, Ruby, Scheme, or Java. Integrating Python into SVS 7 provides full programmatic access to many of the software's features enabling the augmentation of existing tools, creating entirely new ones, automation of work flows, integration with other programs and more.

Rare Variant SNP

Author: Christophe Lambert, Golden Helix, Inc.

This script creates a binary spreadsheet to indicate if there exists a rare variant in the window centered about the current marker. At chromosome edges, the maximum number of markers up to the window size is used without running into the next chromosome.

This script requires the purchase of the Sequence Module to function.
