17 Description: generic indexer for TAB-delimited genome position files
18 Tabix indexes files where some columns indicate sequence coordinates: name
19 (usually a chromosme), start and stop. The input data file must be position
20 sorted and compressed by bgzip (provided in this package), which has a gzip
21 like interface. After indexing, tabix is able to quickly retrieve data lines by
22 chromosomal coordinates. Fast data retrieval also works over network if an URI
23 is given as a file name.
