Package: libbam-dev (0.1.19+dfsg-5ubuntu0.1)

manipulates nucleotide sequence alignments in BAM or SAM format

The BAM library provides I/O and various operations on manipulating nucleotide sequence alignments in the BAM (Binary Alignment/Mapping) or SAM (Sequence Alignment/Map) format. It now supports importing from or exporting to SAM, sorting, merging, generating pileup, and quickly retrieval of reads overlapped with a specified region.

This library is part of SAMtools version 0.1.19. It is obsolete and provided only to build software that has not yet transitioned to the HTSlib, which replaces this library.
