Hi,
I am generating bcf files from vcf.   When indexing using bcftools the default indiexing is .csi however I also have tabix (generates .tbi index files) installed on my system hence I can opt for either. I'd just like to have a brief comparison between the two indexing formats in order to know which one to choose.

Thank you,
