How To Install python-pyfaidx-examples on Kali Linux

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install python-pyfaidx-examples on Kali Linux.

What is python-pyfaidx-examples

python-pyfaidx-examples is:

Samtools provides a function “faidx” (FAsta InDeX), which creates a small flat index file “.fai” allowing for fast random access to any subsequence in the indexed FASTA file, while loading a minimal amount of the file in to memory. This Python module implements pure Python classes for indexing, retrieval, and in-place modification of FASTA files using a samtools compatible index. The pyfaidx module is API compatible with the pygr seqdb module. A command-line script “faidx” is installed alongside the pyfaidx module, and facilitates complex manipulation of FASTA files without any programming knowledge.

This package provides example data to test the Python modules.
