Pysam is a Python module for reading, manipulating, and writing genomic datasets. Read/write SAM/BAM/CRAM alignment files, VCF/BCF variant files, and FASTA/FASTQ sequences with a Pythonic interface to htslib. Query tabix-indexed files, perform pileup analysis for coverage, and execute samtools/bcftools commands.

Use the AlignmentFile class to work with aligned sequencing reads. This is appropriate for analyzing mapping results, calculating coverage, extracting reads, or quality control.
