+Pysam is a python module for reading and manipulating files in the
+SAM/BAM format. The SAM/BAM format is a way to store efficiently large
+numbers of alignments (`Li 2009`_), such as those routinely created by
+next-generation sequencing methods.
+
+Pysam is a lightweight wrapper of the samtools_ C-API. Pysam also
+includes an interface for tabix_.
