+Prior to the introduction of HTSlib, SAMtools and BCFtools were distributed
+in a single samtools-0.1.x package.
+This old version remains available from SBo as samtools-legacy
+
+HTSlib has been distributed as a separate package to facilitate the writing
+of programs against the HTSlib API. HTSlib also provides the bgzip, htsfile,
+and tabix utilities, so the installation of HTSlib provides these utilities as well.
