Description-en: toolkit for manipulating BAM (genome alignment) files
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.
.
BamTools provides both a C++ API for BAM file support as well as a
command-line toolkit.
.
This is the bamtools command-line toolkit.
.
Available bamtools commands:
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)
