Hi,

I have a question about how BAM and SAM files are handled by the genome 
browser? Does the software use samtools or similar APIs to work with these 
files?

Also I have a question on how SAM/BAM files are loaded into memory: i.e. If a 
user wishes to view a particular region of the genome, does the browser load 
the entire SAM/BAM file to memory and render a track of the specific region 
asked for?

 

Thanks and Regards,

Karthik
