Pod5 Documentation

POD5 is a file format for storing nanopore sequencing data in an easily accessible way. The format is able to be written in a streaming manner which allows a sequencing instrument to directly write the format.

Data in POD5 is stored using Apache Arrow, allowing users to consume data in many languages using standard tools.

This project contains a core library for reading and writing POD5 data, and a toolkit for accessing this data in other languages.
