How Do I?
Q: What is SAM/BAM?
Q: Map between a query/read sequence and a reference sequence to do things like looking up a base/quality at a given reference position or looking up a reference base for a given read position?
Q: Read only portions of a sorted & indexed BAM file that fall within a specified region?
- A:
- open a sorted and indexed BAM file for reading (
SamFile::OpenForRead) - read the BAM Index file (
SamFile::ReadBamIndex) - read the header (
SamFile::ReadHeader) - set the region to be read (
SamFile::SetReadSection) - Loop calling
SamFile::ReadRecorduntil it returns false - indicating there are no more reads within this region.
- open a sorted and indexed BAM file for reading (
These methods are found in C++ Class: SamFile.
NOTE: ReadRecord will also return false on an error - use SamFile::GetStatus() to determine if it was an error or the end of the region. GetStatus returns SamStatus::NO_MORE_RECS for the end of the region.
See the library usage page for an Example.
- Q: How do I read multiple regions?
- A: Use the above solution, but loop on the SetReadSection/ReadRecord steps until all sections have been processed.
Q: Get additional information on this library?
- A: If you have any questions or comments, please raise issue in our GitHub repositories.
