pyguppyclient

Full Python client library for communicating with guppy_basecall_server.

$ pip install pyguppyclient

Requirements

Guppy 5.0 or later is required and the guppy_basecall_server must already be running.

$ guppy_basecall_server --config dna_r9.4.1_450bps_fast.cfg -p 5555 -l /tmp/guppy -x 'cuda:0'

Example

The simplest usage is the GuppyBasecallerClient class which takes a config name and provides a basecall method that takes a read and returns a CalledReadData object.

from pyguppyclient import GuppyBasecallerClient, yield_reads

config = "dna_r9.4.1_450bps_fast"
read_file = "reads.fast5"

with GuppyBasecallerClient(config_name=config, trace=True) as client:
    for read in yield_reads(read_file):
        called = client.basecall(read)
        print(read.read_id, called.seq[:50], called.move)

See the example client for the usage of the Caller class that uses multiprocessing to distribute the reading of fast5 files.

$ ./examples/pyguppyclient -t 8 dna_r9.4.1_450bps_fast /data/reads > pyguppyclient.fastq
