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