NAME

QTLtools bamstat - Calculate stats of overlap between an RNAseq BAM file and an annotation

SYNOPSIS

QTLtools bamstat --bam [sample.bam|sample.sam|sample.cram] --bed [ gene_annotation.bed] --out output_file [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

This mode counts the number of RNAseq reads, and the ones that overlap with an annotation file. We recommend using uniquely mapping reads only by specifying the correct --filter-mapping-quality.

OPTIONS

--bed annotation.bed
Annotation of interest REQUIRED.
--bam, -b [in.bam|in.sam|in.cram]
Sequence data in BAM/SAM/CRAM format. REQUIRED.
--out, -o output
Output file name REQUIRED.
--filter-mapping-quality integer
Minimum mapping quality for a read or read pair to be considered. Set this to only include uniquely mapped reads. DEFAULT=10
--filter-keep-duplicates
Keep reads designated as duplicate by the aligner. RECOMMENDED for RNAseq

OUTPUT FILE COLUMNS

--out filename
This file does not have header and it contains the following columns:
1 The total number of reads in the BAM file
2 The number of mapped sequencing reads passing the --filter-mapping-quality
3 The number of mapped sequencing reads falling within the annotations specified with --bed
4 The total number of annotations in the --bed file
5 The number of annotations covered by at least one sequencing read

EXAMPLES

o
Running bamstat on an RNAseq sample mapped with GEM and GENCODE gene annotations:
QTLtools bamstat --bam HG00381.chr22.bam --out HG00381.chr22.bamstat.txt --bed gencode.v19.annotation.bed.gz --filter-mapping-quality 150 --filter-keep-duplicates
