pysam: samtools interface for python
====================================
:Author: Andreas Heger, Tildon Grant Belgrad, Martin Goodson, Leo Goodstad, Kevin Jacobs
:Date: |today|
:Version: |version|
The *SAM/BAM* format is a way to store efficiently large numbers of alignments
[Li2009]_, such as those routinely are created by next-generation sequencing
methods.
This module provides a low-level wrapper around the samtools_ C-API using `cython`_
and a high-level API for convenient access to the data in *SAM/BAM* formatted files.
Also included is an interface to the tabix_ C-API for reading compressed and
indexed tabular data.
The current version wraps *samtools-0.1.18* and *tabix-0.2.5*
