This package contains code from different authors that allow sequence assemblies to be converted into formats such as CAF (Common Assembly Format) or GAP4.
CAF is a text format for describing sequence assemblies. It is acedb-compliant and is an extension of the ace-file format used earlier, but with support for base quality measures and a more extensive description of the Sequence data. CAF was designed during the Sanger sequencing era. Its modern-day successor is the SAM format, or its binary equivalents BAM and CRAM.
