GenomeComb



Genomecomb moved to github on https://github.com/derijkp/genomecomb with documentation on https://derijkp.github.io/genomecomb. For up to date versions, go there. These pages only remain here for the data on the older scientific application (or if someone really needs a long obsolete version of the software)

bam2fastq

Format

cg bam2fastq ?options? bamfile fastqfile1 ?fastqfile2?

Summary

Extracts reads from a bamfile into fastq. The actual extraction is based on picard's SamToFastq or samtools bam2fq, but the data is prepared first (ao. sorted by name to avoid the problems caused by position sorted fq files)

Arguments

bamfile
bamfile
fastqfile1
name of the fastq file that will contain the first read of each pair. If it has an extension .gz, the fastqs will be compressed
fastqfile2
name of the fastq file that will contain the matching second read of each pair

Options

-m biobambam/picard/sam (--method)
which method is used underneath (default = biobambam)
-namesort 0/1
sort (based on name) before converting; this may avoid biases during (re)alignment because of position based sort (default = 1)
-single file (-s)
file to write single reads
-unmatched file (-u)
file to write unmatched first reads from pair
-unmatched2 file (-u2)
file to write unmatched second reads from pair
