How To Install python3-hisat2 on Debian 12
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install python3-hisat2 on Debian 12.
What is python3-hisat2
python3-hisat2 is:
HISAT2 is a fast and sensitive alignment program for mapping next- generation sequencing reads (both DNA and RNA) to a population of human genomes (as well as against a single reference genome). Based on an extension of BWT for graphs a graph FM index (GFM) was designed and implementd. In addition to using one global GFM index that represents a population of human genomes, HISAT2 uses a large set of small GFM indexes that collectively cover the whole genome (each index representing a genomic region of 56 Kbp, with 55,000 indexes needed to cover the human population). These small indexes (called local indexes), combined with several alignment strategies, enable rapid and accurate alignment of sequencing reads. This new indexing scheme is called a Hierarchical Graph FM index (HGFM).
This package provides a serires of platform-independent scripts that are typically expected to be co-installed with the hisat2 binary.
