Hi, I am really new in this realm. Basically I can understand fasta file format and also vcf since these two are related to my research. I was wondering if there were a tool which would allow me to download specific regions instead of the whole genome sequence, of different individuals. And I would like the database provide data in both VCF format and Fasta or something similar to fasta that would allow me to see the whole sequence as well. Is there any easy to use library in python or R which would allow me to do this task? I feel like the https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/variation/tools/1000genomes/ browser has access to the data that I wish to query.
See if this helps.
