C library for high-throughput sequencing data formats
HTSlib is an implementation of a unified C library for accessing common file formats, such as SAM, CRAM and VCF, used for high-throughput sequencing data, and is the core library used by samtools and bcftools. HTSlib only depends on zlib. It is known to be compatible with gcc, g++ and clang. HTSlib implements a generalized BAM index, with file extension .csi ( coordinate-sorted index). The HTSlib file reader first looks for the new index and then for the old if the new index is absent.
