+SAM (Sequence Alignment/Map) format is a generic format for storing
+large nucleotide sequence alignments. SAM aims to be a format that:
+
+- Is flexible enough to store all the alignment information generated
+  by various alignment programs
+- Is simple enough to be easily generated by alignment programs or
+  converted from existing alignment formats
+- Is compact in file size
+- Allows most of operations on the alignment to work on a stream
+  without loading the whole alignment into memory
+- Allows the file to be indexed by genomic position to efficiently
+  retrieve all reads aligning to a locus. 
+
+SAM Tools provide various utilities for manipulating alignments in the
+SAM format, including sorting, merging, indexing and generating 
+alignments in a per-position format.
+
+NOTE!
+This is an older version of the program, kept here for compatibility
+with Ugene. You can safely install it along the new one. When you start
+Ugene, go to Settings > Preferences > External Tools and manually select
+the legacy binaries in /usr/bin/

+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
+# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
+# the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
+# You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.
