Genomic signatures represent unique features within a species' DNA, enabling the differentiation of species and offering broad applications across various fields. This package provides essential tools for calculating these specific signatures, streamlining the process for researchers and offering a comprehensive and time-saving solution for genomic analysis.The amino acid contents are identified based on the work published by Sandberg et al. (2003) <doi:10.1016/s0378-1119(03)00581-x> and Xiao et al. (2015) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btv042>. The Average Mutual Information Profiles (AMIP) values are calculated based on the work of Bauer et al. (2008) <doi:10.1186/1471-2105-9-48>. The Chaos Game Representation (CGR) plot visualization was done based on the work of Deschavanne et al. (1999) <doi:10.1093/oxfordjournals.molbev.a026048> and Jeffrey et al. (1990) <doi:10.1093/nar/18.8.2163>. The GC content is calculated based on the work published by Nakabachi et al. (2006) <doi:10.1126/science.1134196> and Barbu et al. (1956) <https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/13363015>. The Oligonucleotide Frequency Derived Error Gradient (OFDEG) values are computed based on the work published by Saeed et al. (2009) <doi:10.1186/1471-2164-10-S3-S10>. The Relative Synonymous Codon Usage (RSCU) values are calculated based on the work published by Elek (2018) <https://urn.nsk.hr/urn:nbn:hr:217:686131>.

A collection of I/O tools for handling the most commonly used genomic datafiles, like fasta/-q, bed, gff, gtf, ped/map and vcf.

Draws gene or genome maps and comparisons between these, in a 
   publication-grade manner. Starting from simple, common files, it will 
   draw postscript or PDF files that can be sent as such to journals.

Tools for efficient processing of large, whole genome genotype data sets in variant call format (VCF). It includes several functions to calculate commonly used population genomic metrics and a method for reference panel free genotype imputation, which is described in the preprint Gurke & Mayer (2024) <doi:10.22541/au.172515591.10119928/v1>.
