<p>I am interested in detecting allelic imbalance for a credible set of SNPs. Currently, I am looking for some packages, hopefully, for Python, that can assist with this.

<p>Cheers</p>

You're comparing availability on Bioconductor to availability on Python. BioC is specializing on biological software, which Python does not (or at least doesn't have an equivalent community).

Why not just use R? Jumping between that and python is the norm.

What do you mean by "allelic imbalance". This maybe a term used in RNAseq because everyone seems to understand it, but this is not  a term used in population genetics.

@RamRS, I am more familiar with Python, and dont have alot of experience with R. With that being said, I should probably familiarize myself with R going forward.

It's not about the language itself, @Krizbomb. Python doesn't have a BioC equivalent, AFAIK.

Hi @RamRS, Yes I know that there is not a python equivalent, thanks anyways.
