	The corresponding [[SAM Format]] can be used to store sequence data, both aligned as well as unaligned, in a human readable format.		The corresponding [[SAM Format]] can be used to store sequence data, both aligned as well as unaligned, in a human readable format.

	BAM and SAM formats are designed to contain ~~exactly~~ the same information. The SAM format is more human readable, and easier to process by conventional text based processing programs, such as awk, sed, python, cut and so on. The BAM format provides binary versions of most of the same data, and is designed to compress reasonably well.		BAM and SAM formats are designed to contain the same information.

			BAM and SAM formats are designed to contain exactly the same information. The SAM format is more human readable, and easier to process by conventional text based processing programs, such as awk, sed, python, cut and so on. The BAM format provides binary versions of most of the same data, and is designed to compress reasonably well.

			Our [[C++ Library: libbam\|BamFile]] library reads both SAM and BAM format files.
