# `gtars`

> Inspects and plans work with Gtars, the Rust/Python/CLI toolkit for genomic intervals: BED RegionSet set algebra (reduce, setdiff, intersect, closest, cluster, gaps), overlap counts, consensus peak sets, coverage, tokenizers, fragment processing, and refget/BEDbase stores. Use when merging or comparing BED interval sets, building a consensus or universe from peaks, tokenizing regions for ML models, working with fragment files, or planning refget sequence-collection and BEDbase cache use. Use when checking BED coordinates, contigs, or strand before running gtars. Not for general BAM/VCF processing; use samtools or bedtools for that.

## Install

```bash theme={null}
npx research-agent-skills install gtars
npx skills add KalarisLabs/research-agent-skills --skill gtars
```

## When to use it

Inspects and plans work with Gtars, the Rust/Python/CLI toolkit for genomic intervals: BED RegionSet set algebra (reduce, setdiff, intersect, closest, cluster, gaps), overlap counts, consensus peak sets, coverage, tokenizers, fragment processing, and refget/BEDbase stores. Use when merging or comparing BED interval sets, building a consensus or universe from peaks, tokenizing regions for ML models, working with fragment files, or planning refget sequence-collection and BEDbase cache use. Use when checking BED coordinates, contigs, or strand before running gtars. Not for general BAM/VCF processing; use samtools or bedtools for that.
