SplitBam
Split a BAM file into multiple BAM files based on ReadGroup according to the following details.
- Creates multiple output files named [outprefix].[RGID].bam, for each ReadGroup ID (RGID) existing in the bam file
- Headers are a copy of the original file, removing @RG and @PG headers where IDs match with the other ReadGroup IDs.
- Copy each of the original file's BAM record to one of the output file where the ReadGroup ID matches
Usage : splitBAM [-v] [-i inputBAMFile] [-o outPrefix] [-L logFile]
Required arguments:
-i inputBAMFile : Original BAM file containing readGroup info
-o outprefix : prefix of output bam files of [outprefix].[RGID].bam
Optional arguments:
-L logFile : log file name. default is listFile.log
-v : turn on verbose mode
