parse, edit and write GFA format graphs in Ruby
The Graphical Fragment Assembly (GFA) format is a proposed file format
to describe the product of a genome sequence assembly process.
rgfa implements the proposed specifications for the GFA format
described under https://github.com/pmelsted/GFA-spec/blob/master/GFA-spec.md
as closely as possible.
The library allows one to create an RGFA object from a file in the GFA format
or from scratch, to enumerate the graph elements (segments, links,
containments, paths and header lines), to traverse the graph (by
traversing all links outgoing from or incoming to a segment), to search for
elements (e.g. which links connect two segments) and to manipulate the
graph (e.g. to eliminate a link or a segment or to duplicate a segment
distributing the read counts evenly on the copies).
