6.4. Converter benchmarking

Converter have a default method.

Notem however, that several methods may be available. Moreover, you may have a method that you want to compare with the implemented one. To do so you will need to implement your method first. Then, simply use our benchmarking framework as follows.

from bioconvert import Benchmark
from bioconvert import bioconvert_data
from bioconvert.bam2cov import BAM2COV
from bioconvert.fastq2fasta import FASTQ2FASTA

Get the convert you wish to benchmark

input_file = bioconvert_data("test_measles.sorted.bam")
conv = BAM2COV(input_file, "test.cov")
# input_file = bioconvert_data("test_fastq2fasta_v1.fastq")
# conv = FASTQ2FASTA(input_file, "test.fasta")

Get the Benchmark instance

bench = Benchmark(conv)
bench.plot()

# You can now see the different methods implemented in this
# converter and which one is the fastest.
