noodles-tabix handles the reading and writing of the tabix format.

A tabix (TBI) is an index file typically used to allow random access of an accompanied file that is

1. bgzipped,
2. tab-delimited,
3. grouped by reference sequence name, and
4. coordinate sorted by start position.

It can be used to find relevant records for a given genomic region.
