Binary package “samtools” in ubuntu trusty
processing sequence alignments in SAM and BAM formats
Samtools is a set of utilities that manipulate nucleotide sequence alignments
in the binary BAM format. It imports from and exports to the ascii SAM
(Sequence Alignment/Map) format, does sorting, merging and indexing, and allows
to retrieve reads in any regions swiftly. It is designed to work on a stream,
and is able to open a BAM (not SAM) file on a remote FTP or HTTP server.
