Description-en: maintenance of DNA sequence assemblies
This package contains code from different authors that allow sequence
assemblies to be converted into formats such as CAF (Common Assembly
Format) or GAP4.
.
CAF is a text format for describing sequence assemblies. It
is acedb-compliant and is an extension of the ace-file format used
earlier, but with support for base quality measures and a more extensive
description of the Sequence data. CAF was designed during the Sanger
sequencing era. Its modern-day successor is the SAM format, or its
binary equivalents BAM and CRAM.
