processing Pacific Biosciences binary alignment/map files

The BAM format is a binary, compressed, record-oriented container format for raw or aligned sequence reads. The associated SAM format is a text representation of the same data. The specifications for BAM/SAM are maintained by the SAM/BAM Format Specification Working Group. PacBio-produced BAM files are fully compatible with the BAM specification, but makes use of the extensibility mechanisms of the BAM specification to encode PacBio-specific information. This package provides command-line utilities for working with PacBio BAM files.
