My group has recently started developing a QIIME2 plugin for samtools. We are using BAMFormat
and BAMDirFmt
from q2-types-genomics but it looks like the corresponding sam/cram formats have not yet been developed.
We are reaching out to the community to see if these formats being developed by any other groups, and if not to put our repository out there for anyone who is interested. One possibility would be to add these types to q2-types-genomics - would this be preferred over adding them to the repository we are developing?
