Package name : tabix Version : 0.2.3 Upstream Author : Heng Li <[email protected]> URL : http://samtools.sourceforge.net/tabix.shtml License : MIT/X Programming Lang: C, plus some Java, python and Perl bindings Description : generic indexer for TAB-delimited genome position files Tabix indexes files where some columns indicate sequence coordinates: name (usually a chromosme), start and stop. The input data file must be position sorted and compressed by bgzip (provided in this package), which has a gzip like interface. After indexing, tabix is able to quickly retrieve data lines by chromosomal coordinates. Fast data retrieval also works over network if an URI is given as a file name. A draft package is available here: Vcs-Git: git://git.debian.org/debian-med/tabix.git Vcs-Browser: http://git.debian.org/?p=debian-med/tabix.git;a=summary I update the draft from time to time when I use it at work, and will eventually upload it ‘when it is ready’. Do not hesitate to express your interest in it, and I will fast-track it. Have a nice day, -- Charles -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
