== Read & Write BAM/SAM Executable ==
 
When the pipeline is compiled, the sam/bam executable, "bam" is generated in the pipeline/bam/ directory.
 
 
 
This executable takes 2 arguments.  The first argument is the input file.  The second argument is the output file.  The executable converts the first file into the format of the second file.  So if you want to convert a Bam file to a SAM file, from the pipeline/bam/ directory you just call:
 
./bam <bamFile>.bam <newSamFile>.sam
 
Don't forget to put in the paths to the executable and your test files.
 
  
The software reads the beginning of the input file to determine if it is SAM/BAM.  To determine the format (SAM/BAM) of the output file, the software checks the output file's extension.  If the extension is ".bam" it writes a BAM file, otherwise it writes a SAM file.

== Read & Write BAM/SAM Library ==
+
The software reads the beginning of files opened for reading to determine if it is SAM/BAM.  To determine the format (SAM/BAM) of files open for writing, the software checks the output file's extensionIf the extension is "bam" it writes a BAM file, otherwise it writes a SAM file.
The software for reading/writing/parsing/validating SAM/BAM files is also available in library formatThe library is also found in pipeline/bam, and is called libbam.a.
 
  
This library is dependent on two other libraries, so be sure to include them all in the proper order:
+
The library is found in statgen/lib/bam.

== Setting fields in a SAM/BAM Header ==
 
The '''SamRecord''' class contains accessors to set the header lines of a SAM/BAM header.  By using these set methods to setup the header, they can be pulled back out using the get accessors or the header can be later written to a SAM/BAM file. 
 
The methods found in the '''SamFileHeader''' class for setting fields are:

| Adds the type, tag, and integer value to the header.
 
Returns true if successfully added, false if not.
 
NOTE: currently, this method will only do one tag per type on a line.  If a type has multiple tags, then the whole line needs to be added at once.

== Setting fields in a SAM/BAM Record ==
 
The '''SamRecord''' class contains accessors to set the fields of a SAM/BAM recordThey are used for creating a record that is not read from a SAM/BAM file.  By using these set methods to setup the record, they can be pulled back out using the get accessors or the record can be later written as either a SAM/BAM record.

== Retrieving fields from a SAM/BAM Record ==
 
The '''SamRecord''' class contains accessors to access the fields of a SAM/BAM record.  They assume that the class has already been populated, either by using the set commands or by calling SamFile::ReadRecord.  Not all of the values that can be retrieved using these get accessors have set methods.  That is because they are internally calculated values if they were not read from a file.

SAM/BAM File

See the github history: https://github.com/statgen/libStatGen/commits/master/bam for a list of the most recent updates to the BAM classes.

Old BAM Review Action Items

Read & Write BAM/SAM Library Software

The software reads the beginning of files opened for reading to determine if it is SAM/BAM. To determine the format (SAM/BAM) of files open for writing, the software checks the output file's extension. If the extension is "bam" it writes a BAM file, otherwise it writes a SAM file.

The library is found in statgen/lib/bam.
