biojs-io-sam

biojs-io-sam parses Sequence Alignment/Map (SAM) format files into JavaScript representations for sequence alignment visualization and analysis.

Key Features:

• SAM Format Parsing: Interprets Sequence Alignment/Map (SAM) files used for storing nucleotide sequence alignments.
• BioJS component: Implements a parser within the BioJS ecosystem to enable incorporation of SAM data into JavaScript-based biological visualizations.

Scientific Applications:

• Data Visualization: Converts SAM data into structures suitable for web-based visualization and exploration of sequence alignments.
• Research and Development: Provides a programmatic SAM parser for building custom bioinformatics applications that handle and display alignment data.

Methodology:

Adheres to the community-driven Sequence Alignment/Map (SAM) format specification for parsing SAM records.
