Clients Overview

There are two main ways to use GeneBe tools:

  1. A Python library called pygenebe
  2. A Java command-line app called genebe-cli

Both are open source and available on GitHub:

pygenebe (Python library)​

pygenebe is a Python package available on PyPI — you can install it using:

pip install pygenebe

It is designed to be used as a library inside Python scripts or notebooks.

Key features:

  • Works well with pandas DataFrames
  • Can annotate genetic variants in many formats
  • Supports variant conversion between multiple representations
  • Ideal for programmatic access and integration into data analysis pipelines

genebe-cli (Java command-line tool)​

genebe-cli is a standalone command-line application written in Java.

You can use it to:

  • Annotate VCF files
  • It is the main client of the GeneBe Hub: create and work with variant annotation databases

To get started, download it from the GitHub releases page.

Both tools are under active development and designed to help you annotate and manage variant data easily and flexibly.
