Overview of the splitChromosome function of bamUtil
The splitChromosome option on the bamUtil executable splits an indexed BAM file into multiple files based on the Chromosome (Reference Name).
The files all have the same base name, but with an _# where # corresponds with the associated reference id from the BAM file.
Parameters
Required Parameters:
--in : the BAM file to be split
--out : the base filename for the SAM/BAM files to write into. Does not include the extension.
_N will be appended to the basename where N indicates the Chromosome.
Optional Parameters:
--noeof : do not expect an EOF block on a bam file.
--bamIndex : the path/name of the bam index file
(if not specified, uses the --in value + ".bai")
--bamout : write the output files in BAM format (default).
--samout : write the output files in SAM format.
--params : print the parameter settings
Usage
./bam splitChromosome --in <inputFilename> --out <outputFileBaseName> [--bamIndex <bamIndexFile>] [--noeof] [--bamout|--samout] [--params]
Return Value
- 0: all records are successfully read and written.
- non-0: at least one record was not successfully read or written.
