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.
