noodles-tabix handles the reading and writing of the tabix format.
A tabix (TBI) is an index file typically used to allow random access of an accompanied file that is
- bgzipped,
- tab-delimited,
- grouped by reference sequence name, and
- coordinate sorted by start position.
It can be used to find relevant records for a given genomic region.
