Body: <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. I am aware of this R package, <a href="https://bioconductor.org/packages/3.13/bioc/html/AllelicImbalance.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://bioconductor.org/packages/3.13/bioc/html/AllelicImbalance.html</a>, but I am hoping someone knows of a similar Python library.</p>
  <p>Cheers</p>

Comments.Text: 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.

  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. I am aware of this R package, <https://bioconductor.org/packages/3.13/bioc/html/AllelicImbalance.html>, but I am hoping someone knows of a similar Python library.
