The pyranges1 documentation
==========================
Pyranges is a Python library specifically designed for efficient and intuitive manipulation of genomics data,
particularly genomic intervals (like genes, genomic features, or reads).
The library is optimized for fast querying and manipulation of genomic annotations.

Pyranges is open source, and hosted at github: https://github.com/pyranges/pyranges1/

Pyranges is developed by Endre Bakken Stovner and by
`Marco Mariotti's lab <https://www.mariottigenomicslab.com/>`_.

**This documentation refers to the version 1 of pyranges**, which introduces a new API and a new data structure
compared to version 0, still the 'default', soon to be deprecated. If you are a pyranges1 v0 user,
check :doc:`this guide to migrate to v1 <./migration_guide>`.


While we recommend using pyranges1 as Python library, alternatively, the
:doc:`pyranger command-line tool <./pyranger_cli>` allows you to access the same functionalities from the command line,
without writing any Python code.
