Perl API for latest version of Tabix (now part of HTSlib)?

Question

[Christian]

I could not find the Perl API Tabix.pm) for the latest version of Tabix, which is now part of HTSlib (current version 1.2.1). Are there plans to implement this API or has it been abandoned?

I've just found this question. There is a new library available that wraps the htslib bindings to Tabix as part of the Bio::DB::HTS Perl library (a library I've been involved in setting up with colleagues and collaborators). This is meant as a replacement to Bio::DB::Sam and provide Perl bindings to functions found in htslib.

More information can be found from https://metacpan.org/pod/Bio::DB::HTS::Tabix. Hope this helps.
