+      BamToCov: an efficient toolkit for sequence
+      coverage calculations
+url: 'https://telatin.github.io/bamtocov/'
+abstract: >
+  Motivation: Many genomics applications require the
+  computation of nucleotide coverage of a reference
+  genome or the ability to determine how many reads
+  map to a reference region. 
+
+
+  Results: BamToCov is a toolkit for rapid and
+  flexible coverage computation that relies on a
+  memory efficient algorithm and is designed for
+  integration in pipelines; this is possible as a
+  result of reading alignment files from streams. The
+  tools in the suite can process sorted BAM or CRAM
+  files, allowing the user to extract coverage
+  information via different filtering approaches and
+  also save the output in different formats (BED, Wig
+  or counts). 
+
+  The BamToCov algorithm can also handle
+  strand-specific and/or physical coverage analyses.
+
+
+  Availability: This program, accessory utilities,
+  and their documentation are freely available at
+  https://github.com/telatin/BamToCov.
