MotivationThe Rust programming language is a fast, memory-safe language that is increasingly used in computational genomics and bioinformatics software development. However, it can have a steep learning curve, which can make writing specialized, high performance bioinformatics software difficult. ResultsGRanges is a Rust library that provides an easy-to-use and expressive way to load genomic range data into memory, compute and process overlapping ranges, and summarize data in a tidy way. The GRanges library outperforms established tools like plyranges and bedtools. AvailabilityThe GRanges library is available at https://github.com/vsbuffalo/granges and https://crates.io/crates/granges.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
