SUMMARY: The Sequence Alignment/Map (SAM) format is a generic alignment
format for storing read alignments against reference sequences, supporting
short and long reads (up to 128 Mbp) produced by different sequencing
platforms. It is flexible in style, compact in size, efficient in
random access and is the format in which alignments from the 1000
Genomes Project are released. SAMtools implements various utilities
for post-processing alignments in the SAM format, such as indexing,
variant caller and alignment viewer, and thus provides universal
tools for processing read alignments. AVAILABILITY: http://samtools.sourceforge.net.
