Lior Pachter announces edgePython v0.5.0, installable via pip install edgepython. It matches the forthcoming edgeR 5.0 while avoiding several edgeR bugs.
Key improvements: 4-6x overall speedups, over 100x for the camera method, I/O improvements, and proper kallisto support — a notable step in bringing RNA-seq differential expression analysis from R to Python.
