Everything about Tabix
Bioinformatics software utility
Tabix is a free software utility for indexing TAB-delimited genome position files. It is commonly used in bioinformatics analysis to index large genomic data files such as GFF, VCF, or BED files for efficient data retrieval. Tabix was developed by Heng Li and is distributed under the MIT license. Wikipedia →
