Python bindings for [hictk](https://github.com/paulsengroup/hictk), a blazing fast toolkit to work with .hic and .cool files.

If you are looking for the R API, checkout the [hictkR](https://github.com/paulsengroup/hictkR) repository.

## Installing hictkpy

hictkpy can be installed in various ways.
The simplest method is using pip: `pip install 'hictkpy[all]'`.

Refer to [Installation](https://hictkpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installation.html) for alternative methods.

## Using hictkpy

```python3
import hictkpy

path_to_clr = "file.mcool"  # "file.hic"

clr = hictkpy.File(path_to_clr, 100_000)
sel = clr.fetch("chr1")

df = sel.to_df()     # Get interactions as a pandas.DataFrame
m1 = sel.to_numpy()  # Get interactions as a numpy matrix
m2 = sel.to_csr()    # Get interactions as a scipy.sparse.csr_matrix
```

For more detailed examples refer to the [Quickstart](https://hictkpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/quickstart.html) section in the documentation.
