- Many people have contributed to pysam. The list of github contributors
- is the best place to get a full list of authors and their contributions.
- The list and summary below is a out-of-date and represents the earlier
- stages of the project.
-
- List of contributors:
-
- Andreas Heger, Tildon Grant Belgard, Florian Finkernagel, Leo
- Goodstadt, Martin Goodson all contributed code to pysam.
-
- John Marshall has been looking after pysam and its community for
- several years, as well as making many code contributions and improving
- the engineering of pysam.
-
- Kevin B. Jacobs implemented a Cython wrapper for the VCF/BCF
- reader/writer in htslib.
-
- Gerton Lunter provided a validating VCF parser.
-
- Marcel Martin implemented python 3 compatibility.
- Ben Schiller contributed a Windows compatible clone.
-
- The sources in the directory samtools are from the samtools project:
- http://samtools.sourceforge.net/. All of these are available under the
- MIT licence. The attributions for this code are as follows:
-
- Heng Li from the Sanger Institute wrote most of the initial source code
- of SAMtools and various converters.
-
- Bob Handsaker from the Broad Institute is a major contributor to the
- SAM/BAM specification. He designed and implemented the BGZF format, the
- underlying indexable compression format for the BAM format. BGZF does
- not support arithmetic between file offsets.
-
- Jue Ruan for the Beijing Genome Institute designed and implemented the
- RAZF format, an alternative indexable compression format. RAZF supports
- arithmetic between file offsets, at the cost of increased index file
- size and the full compatibility with gzip. RAZF is optional and only
- used in `faidx' for indexing RAZF compressed fasta files.
-
- Colin Hercus updated novo2sam.pl to support gapped alignment by
- novoalign.
