Announcing cdot - a way to load lots of transcripts fast

[davmlaw]

I've made a Python package that provides ~800k transcripts (both RefSeq and Ensembl) for PyHGVS

https://github.com/SACGF/cdot

You can either download a JSON.gz file, or use a REST service. To use it:

from cdot.pyhgvs.pyhgvs_transcript import JSONPyHGVSTranscriptFactory, RESTPyHGVSTranscriptFactory

factory = RESTPyHGVSTranscriptFactory()
# factory = JSONPyHGVSTranscriptFactory(["./cdot-0.2.1.refseq.grch38.json.gz"])  # Uses local JSON file
pyhgvs.parse_hgvs_name(hgvs_c, genome, get_transcript=factory.get_transcript_grch37)
