        ### python liftover utility
        
        Converts point coordinates between genome assemblies.
        Inspired by [pyliftover](https://github.com/konstantint/pyliftover), this
        offers a few advantages:
         - ~5X faster, and lower memory requirements, as loading the chain file and
           converting coordinates is implemented in c++.
         - dictionary style conversion, as in access converted coordinates via
           `converter[chrom][pos]`
        
        ### Installation
        Install via pip: `pip install liftover`
        
        ### Usage
        
        ```python
        from liftover import get_lifter
        
        converter = get_lifter('hg19', 'hg38')
        chrom = '1'
        pos = 103786442
        converter[chrom][pos]
        
        converter.query(chrom, pos)
        
        # alternatively create a converter directly from a chainfile
        from liftover import ChainFile
        converter = ChainFile('/home/user/hg18ToHg38.over.chain.gz', 'hg18', 'hg38')
        converter[chrom][pos]
        ```
