Enhancing Parsing

[azimgivron]

Hi there, 👋

While extracting the gene-disease matrix from OMIM, I came across this repository. The existing parsing functionality is very useful, but I saw an opportunity to make it more convenient for direct use.

To enhance usability, I refactored the code into a Python package with an installable script. It now generates a binary output file for easier loading and leverages multiprocessing ⚡ to accelerate processing, improving efficiency and user experience.

I hope this contribution proves useful! Let me know if any modifications are needed, and feel free to merge it if it aligns with your goals.

Best,
Azim 🚀

Hi, thank you so much for that, we really appreciate it. Yours is an impressive piece of code, that being said the point of the genemap parser is to illustrate the format of the gene map file so we kept it as simple as possible for clarity.
