BamUtil: stats

Overview of the stats function of bamUtil

The stats option on the BamUtil executable generates the specified statistics on a SAM/BAM file.

Parameters

	Required Parameters:
		--in : the SAM/BAM file to calculate stats for
	Types of Statistics that can be generated:
		--basic       : Turn on basic statistic generation
		--qual        : Generate a count for each quality (displayed as non-phred quality)
		--phred       : Generate a count for each quality (displayed as phred quality)
		--baseQC      : Write per base statistics to the specified file.
	Optional Parameters:
		--maxNumReads : Maximum number of reads to process
		                Defaults to -1 to indicate all reads.
		--unmapped    : Only process unmapped reads (requires a bamIndex file)
		--bamIndex    : The path/name of the bam index file
		                (if required and not specified, uses the --in value + ".bai")
		--regionList  : File containing the region list chr<tab>start_pos<tab>end<pos>.
		                Positions are 0 based and the end_pos is not included in the region.
		                Uses bamIndex.
		--minMapQual  : The minimum mapping quality for filtering reads in the baseQC stats.
		--dbsnp       : The dbSnp file of positions to exclude from baseQC analysis.
		--noeof       : Do not expect an EOF block on a bam file.
		--params      : Print the parameter settings

For all types of statistics, the bam file used is specified by --in.

The optional parameters are also used for all types of statistics.

Usage:

	./bam stats --in <inputFile> [--basic] [--qual] [--phred] [--baseQC <outputFileName>] [--maxNumReads <maxNum>] [--unmapped] [--bamIndex <bamIndexFile>] [--regionList <regFileName>] [--minMapQual <minMapQ>] [--dbsnp <dbsnpFile>] [--noeof] [--params]

Types of Statistics

Basic

Prints summary statistics for the file:

• TotalReads - # of reads that are in the file
• MappedReads - # of reads marked mapped in the flag
• PairedReads - # of reads marked paired in the flag
• ProperPair - # of reads marked paired AND proper paired in the flag
• DuplicateReads - # of reads marked duplicate in the flag
• QCFailureReads - # of reads marked QC failure in the flag
• MappingRate(%) - # of reads marked mapped in the flag / TotalReads
• PairedReads(%) - # of reads marked paired in the flag / TotalReads
• ProperPair(%) - # of reads marked paired AND proper paired in the flag / TotalReads
• DupRate(%) - # of reads marked duplicate in the flag / TotalReads
• QCFailRate(%) - # of reads marked QC failure in the flag / TotalReads
• TotalBases - # of bases in all reads
• BasesInMappedReads - # of bases in reads marked mapped in the flag

Qual/Phred

Prints a count of the number of times each quality value appears in the file.

• phred Displays Quality as phred integers [0-93]
• qual Displays Quality as non-phred integers (phred + 33) [33-126]

BaseQC

The baseQC option generates the following statistics:

A read spans a position if the read starts at or before the position, ends at or after the position and the position is not a clip. CIGAR operations allowed for the position are M/X/=/D/N.

Currently there is no special logic to exclude positions/reads where the reference base is 'N' or the read base is 'N'.

BaseQC Output

There are two output options for BaseQC.

1. Percentages
2. Straight Counts
