Binary Alignment Map

Binary Alignment Map (BAM) is the comprehensive raw data of genome sequencing;[1] it consists of the lossless, compressed binary representation of the Sequence Alignment Map-files.[2][3]

BAM is the compressed binary representation of SAM (Sequence Alignment Map). BAM is in compressed BGZF format.
