Querying

pyGeno is a personal database that you can query in many ways. Special emphasis has been placed upon ease of use, and you only need to remember two functions:

* get()
* help()

get() can be called from any pyGeno object to get any objects.

help() is you best friend when you get lost using get(). When called, it will give the list of all field that you can use in get queries. You can call it either of the class:

Gene.help()

Or on the object:

ref = Genome(name = "GRCh37.75")
g = ref.get(Gene, name = "TPST2")[0]

g.help()

Both will print:

'Available fields for Gene: end, name, chromosome, start, biotype, id, strand, genome'
