Description

TwoBit.jl provides I/O and utilities for manipulating 2Bit sequence data files.

2Bit is a binary file format designed for storing a genome consists of multiple chromosomal sequences.

The reading speed is often an order of magnitude faster than that of FASTA and the file size is smaller.

However, since the .2bit file format is specialized for genomic sequences, it cannot store either RNA or amino acid sequences.

For storage of sequencing read datasets, compressed and indexed on disk, head over to ReadDatastores.jl
