[Bioperl-l] Next-gen modules

[Lincoln Stein]

Hi All,

Apropos of this, I am about to release to CPAN a BioPerl interface to SAM
and BAM files. The documentation is still in progress, but you can get CVS
access here:

% cvs -d :pserver:anonymous at gmod.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/gmod co
gbrowse-adaptors/Bio-SamTools
