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. BMC Bioinformatics (2026). https://doi.org/10.1186/s12859-026-06628-4

Preprint: arXiv:2606.06434. https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.06434

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 includes 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

The BMC Availability section names version 0.2.8 and the version-independent Zenodo deposit doi:10.5281/zenodo.20531538 (this snapshot: 10.5281/zenodo.20531539). That deposit is the software-and-reproducibility package used for the paper figures and numbers.

Reproducibility archive¶

Same Zenodo family. Cite the concept DOI so a later snapshot still resolves:

Goswami R, Goswami R. Reproducibility package for rsx: a high-performance streaming toolkit for RAD-seq sex determination. Zenodo. doi:10.5281/zenodo.20531538

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 software, use the Zenodo concept DOI (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20531538) or GitHub’s Cite button / CITATION.cff (it can generate BibTeX, APA, etc.).
