Binary package “libbam-dev” in ubuntu precise
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.
