Tabix是第一个通用的工具，索引位置排序文件的TAB分隔格式，如GFF，BED，PSL，SAM和SQL导出，并快速检索功能重叠指定区域。Tabix的功能包括每次查询很少的查找函数调用，与gzip兼容的数据压缩和直接FTP/HTTP访问。Tabix是一个免费的命令行工具，也是一个C、Java、Perl和Python库。它对于在命令行上手动检查本地基因组特征特别有用，并使基因组查看器能够通过网络支持巨大的数据文件和远程自定义跟踪。
Tabix is the first generic tool that indexes position sorted files in TAB-delimited formats such as GFF, BED, PSL, SAM and SQL export, and quickly retrieves features overlapping specified regions. Tabix features include few seek function calls per query, data compression with gzip compatibility and direct FTP/HTTP access. Tabix is implemented as a free command-line tool as well as a library in C, Java, Perl and Python. It is particularly useful for manually examining local genomic features on the command line and enables genome viewers to support huge data files and remote custom tracks over networks.
