s:about: >
  A suite of programs for interacting with high-throughput sequencing data.
  It consists of three separate repositories: Samtools (Reading/writing/editing/indexing/viewing SAM/BAM/CRAM format),
  BCFtools (Reading/writing BCF2/VCF/gVCF files and calling/filtering/summarising SNP and short indel sequence variants)
  and HTSlib (A C library for reading/writing high-throughput sequencing data).

      A major contributor to the
      SAM/BAM specification. He designed and implemented the BGZF format, the
      underlying indexable compression format for the BAM format. BGZF does
      not support arithmetic between file offsets.

      Designed and implemented the
      RAZF format, an alternative indexable compression format. RAZF is no longer
      used by or provided with SAMtools. Source code remains available in older
      SAMtools 0.1.x releases and from the standalone branch in the repository.
