MakeHub | Fully automated generation of UCSC assembly hubs

MakeHub is a Python library. MakeHub has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Strong Copyleft License and it has low support. However MakeHub build file is not available. You can download it from GitHub.

MakeHub is a command line tool for the fully automatic generation of of track data hubs[1] #f1) for visualizing genomes with the UCSC genome browser[2] #f2). Track data hubs are data structures that contain all required information about a genome for visualizing with the UCSC genome browser. Assembly hubs need to be hosted on a publicly available webspace (that might be user/password protected) for usage with the UCSC genome browser. MakeHub is implemented in Python3 and automatically executes tools provided by UCSC for generation of assembly hubs () on Linux and MacOS X x86_64 computers. For visualization of RNA-Seq alignment data from BAM files, MakeHub uses Samtools[3] #f3)]. If installed, the AUGUSTUS[4] #f4) tool bam2wig is used to speed up BAM to wig format conversion (), which is otherwise performed without bam2wig. MakeHub can either be used to create entirely new assembly hubs, or it can be used to add tracks to hubs that were previously created by MakeHub. For display by the UCSC Genome Browser, assembly hubs need to be hosted on a publicly accessible web server.
