command line wrapper for STAR

Question

[Omics data mining]

Hello everyone,

Right now , I am working on biopython (new to python). Under biopython sequencing package, only three command line wrapper are available. BWA, samtools and Novoalign. Detail is available at http://biopython.org/DIST/docs/api/ . I want to create and use the STAR wrapper in biopython . Please guide me how to create new command line wrapper in biopython. So that I can include in my code.

Thanks in advance

waiting for reply

You wrote "tophat" in the title and "STAR" in the body, which do you want? Why do you want to bother integration into biopython rather than simply using the subprocess module?
