How to Cite rsx¶

If you use rsx in your research, please cite the paper and the software.

The site bibliography (Sphinx + sphinxcontrib-bibtex) also lists these works in docs/source/references.bib for formal :cite: roles when building the docs.

Paper¶

Goswami R, Goswami R. rsx: A high-performance streaming toolkit for RAD-seq sex determination. arXiv:2606.06434 (2026). https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.06434 (submitted to BMC Bioinformatics).

It extends the original RADSex workflow, which should also be cited when relevant:

Feron R, et al. RADSex: a computational workflow to study sex determination using restriction site-associated DNA sequencing data. Molecular Ecology Resources, 2021. https://doi.org/10.1111/1755-0998.13360

Software¶

The repository ships a CITATION.cff, so GitHub renders a “Cite this repository” button with formatted BibTeX and APA. The published artifacts are:

rsxcore and rsx-cli (the rsx binary) on crates.io
pyrsx (Python bindings) on PyPI

Zenodo software archive for v0.2.6: doi:10.5281/zenodo.20531538

Reproducibility archive¶

The deposited workflow that regenerates the paper’s figures and numbers:

Goswami R, Goswami R. Reproducibility archive for rsx. Zenodo. doi:10.5281/zenodo.20531539

BibTeX / BibLaTeX entries¶

Copy-paste ready entries (compatible with both classic BibTeX and BibLaTeX/biber). The GitHub “Cite this repository” button (from CITATION.cff) can also emit BibTeX/APA.

For the rsx v0.2.6 software itself, use the Zenodo page (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20531538) or GitHub’s Cite button / CITATION.cff (it can generate BibTeX, APA, etc.). The reproducibility archive has its own Zenodo BibTeX.
