SAM (Sequence Alignment/Map) is a flexible generic format for storing nucleotide sequence alignment. SAMtools provide efficient utilities on manipulating alignments in the SAM format.

The main samtools source code repository moved to GitHub in March 2012. For ongoing development since then, see http://github.com/samtools/samtools

User Reviews

  • A core component of many a bioinformatics pipeline
  • Error: $./samtools: /lib64/libz.so.1: version `ZLIB_1.2.3.3' not found (required by ./samtools) How can I fix this problem? THX
  • Brilliant idea, code is not robust. Doesn't check return status of malloc, other libraries. One shouldn't have to use gdb to understand an expected error.
