Lincoln Stein's locally indexed FASTA sequence format database which provides extremely fast random access to sequences in a fasta file. It also is useful for retrieving subsequences from the database of sequences so that small sections of a large DNA sequence, a chromosome for example, can be quickly retrieved without bringing the entire large sequence into the memory of the program.
