[Samtools-help] samtools faidx output file

[Shu T. <cha...@gm...>]

Hey guys,

I am using "*samtools faidx*" to index a fasta file, say *seq.fa*, to
generate the index file *seq.fa.fai*. The seq.fa.fai has five columns like
this:

*Group1       100000  11      80      81*

I can tell that the first column is the scaffold identifier and the second
is the scaffold length. Would anyone please tell me what the column 3 to 5
means?

Thanks a lot!
