Hi,

One is legacy but knows that it is indexing sequences. The other is 
actively supported by me and conforms to the OBDA spec for flat file 
indexes but doesn't know that it is indexing sequences. We should phaze 
out IndexStore and make it trivial to use BioStore to index sequences 
with a known type. The ongoing work with SeqIOTools file format 
constants will be invaluable here.
