Pysam

Pysam is a python module for reading and manipulating files in the SAM/BAM format. The SAM/BAM format is a way to store efficiently large numbers of alignments (Li 2009), such as those routinely created by next-generation sequencing methods.

The latest version is available through pypi. To install, simply type:

pip install pysam
                                                   .
