Set 1 to disable parallel fetching; S3 whole-object reads then use one sequential request. HTTP and GCS may still issue chunked requests and a HEAD preflight.
            allow_anonymous: [GCS, AWS S3] Whether to allow anonymous access to object storage.
            enable_request_payer: [AWS S3] Whether to enable request payer for object storage. This is useful for reading files from AWS S3 buckets that require request payer.

Set 1 to disable parallel fetching; S3 whole-object reads then use one sequential request. HTTP and GCS may still issue chunked requests and a HEAD preflight.

Set 1 to disable parallel fetching; S3 whole-object reads then use one sequential request. HTTP and GCS may still issue chunked requests and a HEAD preflight.
            allow_anonymous: [GCS, AWS S3] Whether to allow anonymous access to object storage.
            enable_request_payer: [AWS S3] Whether to enable request payer for object storage. This is useful for reading files from AWS S3 buckets that require request payer.
            compression_type: The compression type of the Stockholm file. If not specified, it will be detected automatically based on the file extension. BGZF and GZIP compressions are supported ('bgz', 'gz').
            max_retries:  The maximum number of retries for reading the file from object storage.
            timeout: The timeout in seconds for reading the file from object storage.

            name: The name of the table. If *None*, the name will be generated automatically from the path.
            genotype_output: Genotype representation. `"probability"` (default) keeps every format-defined state in `genotypes.GP`. `"dosage"` emits `genotypes.DS`, the expected copy count of `alleles[1]`, and rejects multiallelic variants.
            probability_layout: How probability states are stored. `"nested"` (default) gives each sample a variable-length list and reads every BGEN file. `"fixed"` gives each sample a fixed-width list, dropping the per-sample offsets that are about a quarter of the emitted probability bytes for a diploid biallelic cohort; it requires every variant to store the same number of states and rejects a file that mixes them. Ignored when `genotype_output="dosage"`.
            samples: Sample identifiers to register, in requested order.
            genotype_fields: Children of the `genotypes` struct to emit, from the output mode's value child — `"DS"` for dosage, `"GP"` for probability — and `"PLOIDY"`, in the requested order. If *None*, all of them are emitted. `"PLOIDY"` is a byte per genotype, so register with `["DS"]` when only the dosages are queried.
            sample_path: An explicit Oxford `.sample` companion, used only when the BGEN has no embedded sample identifiers.
            bgi_path: An explicit `.bgi` index location.

            enable_request_payer: Whether to enable request payer for object storage.
            compression_type: The compression override. BGEN block compression is read from the file header.

        Parameters:
            path: The path to the PGEN file. The path must end in `.pgen`. Neighbouring `.pvar` and `.psam` companions are auto-discovered.
            name: The name of the table. If *None*, the name will be generated automatically from the path.
            genotype_fields: Genotype children to emit, from `"GT"`, `"ALT_COUNT"`, `"PHASED"`, `"DS"`, `"DS_STORED"`, and `"HDS"`. Defaults to `("GT",)`.
            samples: Sample identifiers to register, in requested order.
            missing_sample_policy: `"error"` (default) rejects an absent requested sample; `"ignore"` omits it.
            psam_id_mode: `"iid"` (default), `"fid_iid"`, or `"fid_iid_sid"`.
            pvar_path: An explicit `.pvar` companion.
            psam_path: An explicit `.psam` companion.
            pgi_path: An explicit `.pgi` index.
            max_range_gap: The largest run of unselected bytes bridged when coalescing reads, in bytes. The provider default is 0, which never bridges a gap and issues one read per contiguous run of selected variants. Raising it trades wasted bytes for fewer requests, which matters most on object storage. If *None*, the provider default is used.
            max_range_bytes: The largest coalesced read, in bytes. If *None*, the provider default is used.
            batch_soft_byte_limit: A soft target for genotype bytes in one RecordBatch. If *None*, the provider default is used.
            chunk_size: The size in MB of a chunk when reading from an object store.
            concurrent_fetches: [AWS S3, GCS, HTTP, where supported by the reader] The maximum number of concurrent ranged fetches when reading from an object store (default: 8). Set 1 to disable parallel fetching; S3 whole-object reads then use one sequential request. HTTP and GCS may still issue chunked requests and a HEAD preflight.
            allow_anonymous: Whether to allow anonymous access to object storage.
            max_retries: The maximum number of retries for reading the file from object storage.
            timeout: The timeout in seconds for reading the file from object storage.
            enable_request_payer: Whether to enable request payer for object storage.
            compression_type: The compression override.
            use_zero_based: If True, register 0-based half-open coordinates. If False, 1-based closed. If None (default), uses the global configuration.
            max_companion_bytes: The largest on-disk size accepted for the `.pvar` or `.psam` companion, in bytes. The provider default is 4 GiB. Companions are streamed, so this bounds work rather than memory. If *None*, the provider default is used.
            max_decompressed_companion_bytes: The largest decoded size accepted for a companion, in bytes. The provider default is 16 GiB. If *None*, the provider default is used.
            max_variants: The largest PVAR row count accepted. The provider default is 250 million; the parsed variant table costs a few tens of bytes per row, so this is the cap that bounds resident memory. If *None*, the provider default is used.

required
name Union[str, None]

The table name. If None, a name is generated from the path.

None

None
genotype_output str

GT representation. "string" (default) returns VCF-style calls such as "0/1". "dosage" returns the number of ALT alleles per sample as nullable Int8 (normally 0, 1, or 2 for diploid calls); any missing allele yields null. Dosage requires GT to be the only selected FORMAT field and requires biallelic records. When format_fields is None, all header-defined FORMAT fields are selected, so pass format_fields=["GT"] when the header declares additional fields. Multiallelic records are rejected.

'string'
chunk_size int

Object-store chunk size in MB.

64
concurrent_fetches int

[AWS S3, GCS, HTTP, where supported by the reader] The maximum number of concurrent ranged fetches when reading from an object store (default: 8). Set 1 to disable parallel fetching; S3 whole-object reads then use one sequential request. HTTP and GCS may still issue chunked requests and a HEAD preflight.

8
allow_anonymous bool

Allow anonymous object-store access.

True
max_retries int

Maximum number of object-store retries.

5
timeout int

Object-store timeout in seconds.

300
enable_request_payer bool

The path to the BGEN file. The path must end in .bgen. A neighbouring .bgen.bgi index is auto-discovered.

required
name Union[str, None]

The name of the table. If None, the name will be generated automatically from the path.

None
genotype_output str

Genotype representation. "probability" (default) keeps every format-defined state in genotypes.GP. "dosage" emits genotypes.DS, the expected copy count of alleles[1], and rejects multiallelic variants.

'probability'
probability_layout str

How probability states are stored. "nested" (default) gives each sample a variable-length list and reads every BGEN file. "fixed" gives each sample a fixed-width list, dropping the per-sample offsets that are about a quarter of the emitted probability bytes for a diploid biallelic cohort; it requires every variant to store the same number of states and rejects a file that mixes them. Ignored when genotype_output="dosage".

'nested'
samples Union[list[str], None]

Sample identifiers to register, in requested order.

None
genotype_fields Union[list[str], None]

Children of the genotypes struct to emit, from the output mode's value child — "DS" for dosage, "GP" for probability — and "PLOIDY", in the requested order. If None, all of them are emitted. "PLOIDY" is a byte per genotype, so register with ["DS"] when only the dosages are queried.

None
sample_path Union[str, None]

An explicit Oxford .sample companion, used only when the BGEN has no embedded sample identifiers.

None
bgi_path Union[str, None]

An explicit .bgi index location.

None
chunk_size int

The size in MB of a chunk when reading from an object store.

64
concurrent_fetches int

[AWS S3, GCS, HTTP, where supported by the reader] The maximum number of concurrent ranged fetches when reading from an object store (default: 8). Set 1 to disable parallel fetching; S3 whole-object reads then use one sequential request. HTTP and GCS may still issue chunked requests and a HEAD preflight.

8
allow_anonymous bool

Whether to allow anonymous access to object storage.

True
max_retries int

The maximum number of retries for reading the file from object storage.

5
timeout int

The timeout in seconds for reading the file from object storage.

300
enable_request_payer bool

Whether to enable request payer for object storage.

False
compression_type str

The compression override. BGEN block compression is read from the file header.

'auto'
use_zero_based Optional[bool]

If True, register 0-based half-open coordinates. If False, 1-based closed. If None (default), uses the global configuration.

None

('GT',)
samples Union[list[str], None]

Sample identifiers to register, in requested order.

None
missing_sample_policy str

"error" (default) rejects an absent requested sample; "ignore" omits it.

None
pgi_path Union[str, None]

An explicit .pgi index.

None
max_range_gap Union[int, None]

The largest run of unselected bytes bridged when coalescing reads, in bytes. The provider default is 0, which never bridges a gap and issues one read per contiguous run of selected variants. Raising it trades wasted bytes for fewer requests, which matters most on object storage. If None, the provider default is used.

None
max_range_bytes Union[int, None]

The largest coalesced read, in bytes. If None, the provider default is used.

None
batch_soft_byte_limit Union[int, None]

A soft target for genotype bytes in one RecordBatch. If None, the provider default is used.

None
chunk_size int

If True, register 0-based half-open coordinates. If False, 1-based closed. If None (default), uses the global configuration.

None
max_companion_bytes Union[int, None]

The largest on-disk size accepted for the .pvar or .psam companion, in bytes. The provider default is 4 GiB. Companions are streamed, so this bounds work rather than memory. If None, the provider default is used.

None
max_decompressed_companion_bytes Union[int, None]

The largest decoded size accepted for a companion, in bytes. The provider default is 16 GiB. If None, the provider default is used.

None
max_variants Union[int, None]

The largest PVAR row count accepted. The provider default is 250 million; the parsed variant table costs a few tens of bytes per row, so this is the cap that bounds resident memory. If None, the provider default is used.

Register a BAM file as a Datafusion table.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
path str

The path to the BAM file.

required
name Union[str, None]

The name of the table. If None, the name of the table will be generated automatically based on the path.

None
tag_fields Union[list[str], None]

List of BAM tag names to include as columns (e.g., ["NM", "MD", "AS"]). If None, no optional tags are parsed (default). Common tags include: NM (edit distance), MD (mismatch string), AS (alignment score), XS (secondary alignment score), RG (read group), CB (cell barcode), UB (UMI barcode).

None
chunk_size int

The size in MB of a chunk when reading from an object store. Default settings are optimized for large scale operations. For small scale (interactive) operations, it is recommended to decrease this value to 8-16.

64
concurrent_fetches int

[AWS S3, GCS, HTTP, where supported by the reader] The maximum number of concurrent ranged fetches when reading from an object store (default: 8). Set 1 to disable parallel fetching; S3 whole-object reads then use one sequential request. HTTP and GCS may still issue chunked requests and a HEAD preflight.

8
allow_anonymous bool

[GCS, AWS S3] Whether to allow anonymous access to object storage.

True
enable_request_payer bool

[AWS S3] Whether to enable request payer for object storage. This is useful for reading files from AWS S3 buckets that require request payer.

False

The maximum number of retries for reading the file from object storage.

5
timeout int

The timeout in seconds for reading the file from object storage.

300
infer_tag_types bool

If True (default), sample the file to auto-detect types for custom/unknown tags.

True
infer_tag_sample_size int

Number of records to sample for tag type inference (default: 100).

100
tag_type_hints Union[list[str], None]

Explicit SAM-style type hints for tags (e.g., ["pt:i", "ML:B:C", "FZ:B:S"]). Supported forms: TAG:TYPE, TAG:B, or TAG:B:SUBTYPE where TYPE is one of A, c, C, s, S, i, I, f, Z, H and SUBTYPE is one of c, C, s, S, i, I, f.

None

Note

BAM reader uses 1-based coordinate system for the start, end, mate_start, mate_end columns.

Example

import polars_bio as pb
pb.register_bam("gs://genomics-public-data/1000-genomes/bam/HG00096.mapped.ILLUMINA.bwa.GBR.low_coverage.20120522.bam", "HG00096_bam", concurrent_fetches=1, chunk_size=8)

Tip

chunk_size and concurrent_fetches can be adjusted according to the network bandwidth and the size of the BAM file. As a rule of thumb for large scale operations (reading a whole BAM), it is recommended keep the default values. For more interactive inspecting a schema, it is recommended to decrease chunk_size to 8-16 and concurrent_fetches to 1-2.

[AWS S3, GCS, HTTP, where supported by the reader] The maximum number of concurrent ranged fetches when reading from an object store (default: 8). Set 1 to disable parallel fetching; S3 whole-object reads then use one sequential request. HTTP and GCS may still issue chunked requests and a HEAD preflight.

8
allow_anonymous bool

[GCS, AWS S3] Whether to allow anonymous access to object storage.

True
enable_request_payer bool

[AWS S3] Whether to enable request payer for object storage. This is useful for reading files from AWS S3 buckets that require request payer.

False
compression_type str

The compression type of the GFF file. If not specified, it will be detected automatically based on the file extension. BGZF and GZIP compression is supported ('bgz' and 'gz').

'auto'
max_retries int

The maximum number of retries for reading the file from object storage.

5
timeout int

The timeout in seconds for reading the file from object storage.

300

Note

GFF reader uses 1-based coordinate system for the start and end columns.

Example

wget https://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/gencode/Gencode_human/release_38/gencode.v38.annotation.gff3.gz -O /tmp/gencode.v38.annotation.gff3.gz

register_cool(path, name=None, resolution=None, join_bins=True, include_weights=False, use_zero_based=None) staticmethod

Register a Cooler (.cool/.mcool) file as a DataFusion table.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
path str

The path to the .cool/.mcool file, or a cooler URI (file.mcool::/resolutions/10000).

required
name Union[str, None]

The name of the table. If None, a name is derived from the file name.

None
resolution Union[int, None]

Bin size selecting an .mcool data collection. Optional for .cool files and single-resolution .mcool files.

None
join_bins bool

If True (default), join pixels with bin coordinates; if False, expose the raw COO triple.

True
include_weights bool

If True, expose balancing weights as weight1/weight2.

False
use_zero_based Union[bool, None]

Coordinate system override. Cooler is natively 0-based half-open; set to False to emit 1-based closed coordinates, or None to use the global default.

None

Example

import polars_bio as pb
pb.register_cool("contacts.mcool", "hic", resolution=10000)

register_view(name, query) staticmethod

Register a query as a Datafusion view. This view can be used in genomic ranges operations, such as overlap, nearest, and count_overlaps. It is useful for filtering, transforming, and aggregating data prior to the range operation. When combined with the range operation, it can be used to perform complex in a streaming fashion end-to-end.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
name str

The name of the table.

required
query str

The SQL query.
