Pyicos: a flexible tool library for analyzing protein-nucleotide interactions with mapped reads from deep sequencing

Deep DNA or RNA sequencing and posterior mapping to a reference sequence is becoming a standard procedure in molecular biology research. Analyzing millions of mapped reads is a challenging task that doesn't have a unique solution, because experiments using deep sequencing technology vary a great deal among each other. This is why we have developed a flexible tool library called Pyicos, which aims to help biologists in their research when performing their analysis on mapped reads.
