It creates and maintains a standardized folder structure for genome files and their associated indexes, making it easier to organize, discover, and reuse genomic data across projects. The package handles the logistics of genome resource management\u2014where files live, how they're named, what indexes exist\u2014so researchers don't have to manually track these details.\n\nThe tool is actively maintained, supports Python 3.10 through 3.14, and carries no known security vulnerabilities. Installation is straightforward with a pure Python wheel, making it accessible for integration into existing bioinformatics environments.","worth_installing":"Yes. Refgenie is actively maintained, carries no security vulnerabilities, installs with low friction, and is licensed permissively under BSD-2-Clause. It solves a genuine organizational problem in genomics workflows. Install it if you work with multiple genomes or need to share genome resources across a team or pipeline."},"id":"refgenie","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/refgenie","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/refgenie.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/refgenie/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-02-25","license_spdx":"BSD-2-Clause","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"refgenie","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Refgenie creates a standardized folder structure for reference genome files and indexes"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":97243,"position":13161,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.13.0"}
