4 Bob Handsaker from the Broad Institute is a major contributor to the
|
|
|
5 SAM/BAM specification. He designed and implemented the BGZF format, the
|
|
|
6 underlying indexable compression format for the BAM format. BGZF does
|
|
|
7 not support arithmetic between file offsets.

9 Jue Ruan for the Beijing Genome Institute designed and implemented the
|
|
|
10 RAZF format, an alternative indexable compression format. RAZF supports
|
|
|
11 arithmetic between file offsets, at the cost of increased index file
|
|
|
12 size and the full compatibility with gzip. RAZF is optional and only
|
|
|
13 used in `faidx' for indexing RAZF compressed fasta files.
