This package is for version 3.4 of Bioconductor; for the stable, up-to-date release version, see Rsamtools.

Binary alignment (BAM), FASTA, variant call (BCF), and tabix file import

Bioconductor version: 3.4

This package provides an interface to the 'samtools', 'bcftools', and 'tabix' utilities (see 'LICENCE') for manipulating SAM (Sequence Alignment / Map), FASTA, binary variant call (BCF) and compressed indexed tab-delimited (tabix) files.
