| + | ===== Q: Read only portions of a sorted & indexed BAM file that fall within a specified region? ===== |
| + | * A: |
| + | *# open a sorted and indexed BAM file for reading (<code>SamFile::OpenForRead</code>) |
| + | *# read the BAM Index file (<code>SamFile::ReadBamIndex</code>) |
| + | *# read the header (<code>SamFile::ReadHeader</code>) |
| + | *# set the region to be read (<code>SamFile::SetReadSection</code>) |
| + | *# Loop calling <code>SamFile::ReadRecord</code> until it returns false - indicating there are no more reads within this region. |
| + | These methods are found in [[C++ Class: SamFile]]. |
| + | |
| + | NOTE: ReadRecord will also return false on an error - use <code>SamFile::GetStatus()</code> to determine if it was an error or the end of the region. <code>GetStatus</code> returns SamStatus::NO_MORE_RECS for the end of the region. |
| + | |
| + | * Q: How do I read multiple regions? |
| + | ** A: Use the above solution, but loop on the SetReadSection/ReadRecord steps until all sections have been processed. |
