Description

Sequencing alignment files can be viewed, sorted, indexed, filtered, and converted for genomics workflows. This is useful for researchers and bioinformatics pipelines working with SAM, BAM, or CRAM data.

It is a command-line bioinformatics toolkit. Sequencing data can be large and sensitive, so users should manage storage, sample identifiers, and privacy requirements carefully.
