Sequence Alignment/Map (SAM) format reader and writer
Documentation
**noodles-sam** handles the reading and writing of the SAM (Sequence Alignment/Map) format. SAM is a format typically used to store biological sequences, either mapped to a reference sequence or unmapped. It has two sections: a header and a list of records. The header mostly holds meta information about the data: a header describing the file format version, reference sequences reads map to, read groups reads belong to, programs that previously manipulated the data, and free-form comments. The header is optional and may be empty. Each record represents a read, a linear alignment of a segment. Records have fields describing how a read was mapped (or not) to a reference sequence. # Examples ## Read all records from a file ```no_run use noodles_sam as sam; let mut reader = sam::io::reader::Builder::default().build_from_path("sample.sam")?; let header = reader.read_header()?; for result in reader.records() { let record = result?; // ... } # Ok::<_, std::io::Error>(()) ```
