bamtools - toolkit for manipulating BAM (genome alignment) files
bamtools [--help] COMMAND [ARGS]
BamTools facilitates research analysis and data management using BAM files. It
copes with the enormous amount of data produced by current sequencing
technologies that is typically stored in compressed, binary formats that are
not easily handled by the text-based parsers commonly used in bioinformatics
research.
- convert
- Converts between BAM and a number of other formats
- count
- Prints number of alignments in BAM file(s)
- coverage
- Prints coverage statistics from the input BAM file
- filter
- Filters BAM file(s) by user-specified criteria
- header
- Prints BAM header information
- index
- Generates index for BAM file
- merge
- Merge multiple BAM files into single file
- random
- Select random alignments from existing BAM file(s),
intended more as a testing tool.
- resolve
- Resolves paired-end reads (marking the IsProperPair flag as
needed)
- revert
- Removes duplicate marks and restores original base
qualities
- sort
- Sorts the BAM file according to some criteria
- split
- Splits a BAM file on user-specified property, creating a
new BAM output file for each value found
- stats
- Prints some basic statistics from input BAM file(s)
