bio-faidx

API to work with the fai format produced to samtools. Useful if you don't want to rely on all the samtools component. Can query sequences from the fasta file. At the minute, it uses bio-samtools, but the idea is to make this self-sufficient.

gem install bio-faidx

require 'bio-faidx'

The API doc is online. For more code examples see the test files in the source tree.
