== Read & Write BAM/SAM Executable ==
+
See the github history: https://github.com/statgen/libStatGen/commits/master/bam for a list of the most recent updates to the BAM classes.
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.
 
 
 
== Reading/Writing SAM/BAM Files In Your Program ==
 
The SamFile class allows a user to easily read/write a SAM/BAM file.

=== Usage Example ===
 
The following example reads in a sam/bam file and writes it out as a sam/bam file.  The file format of the input sam/bam is determined by the SamFile class based on reading the type from the file.  The file format of the output sam/bam file is determined by the SamFile class based on the extension of the output file.  A ".bam" extension indicates a BAM file.  All other extensions indicate SAM files.
 
<pre>
 
int main(int argc, char ** argv)
 
{
 
  if(argc != 3)
 
  {
 
      printf("./bam <inputFile> <outputFile.sam/bam>\n");

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.

== 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.

== 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.

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.
