XAM

<!– –>

Description

XAM provides I/O and utilities for manipulating SAM and BAM formatted alignment map files.

Installation

XAM is made available to install through BioJulia's package registry.

Julia by default only watches the "General" package registry, so before you start, you should add the BioJulia package registry.

Start a julia terminal, hit the ] key to enter pkg mode (you should see the prompt change from julia> to pkg> ), then enter the following command:

registry add https://github.com/BioJulia/BioJuliaRegistry.git

After you've added the registry, you can install XAM from the julia REPL. Press ] to enter pkg mode again, and enter the following:

add XAM

If you are interested in the cutting edge of the development, please check out the develop branch to try new features before release.

Testing

XAM is tested against Julia 1.X on Linux, OS X, and Windows.
