[ANN] PairwiseMappingFormat.jl

The newest BioJulia package has just been merged to the General Registry: PairwiseMappingFormat.jl.

This package provide a parser for PAF (Pairwise mApping Format) files, which are used by some aligners such as minimap2. While PAF is a simple tab-delimited format, that can usually be parsed just fine with a naive approach, a dedicated parser in a package brings performance improvements, better tests, and increased safety.

PairwiseMappingFormat.jl requires Julia 1.11.

Happy hacking!
