Is it possible to output bwa output directly into samtools view to convert into bam format without using intermediate files? I am running low on hard disk space and I am attempting to automate my script. I would like to convert my bwa output to bam, sort it, and index it. I know the sam-bam conversion can be piped into the sort command, but is it possible for the samtools view to take its input from STDIN?

figured out on linux at least, if I give it the filename /dev/stdin that will satisfy it since the OS does the work, even though samtools does not appear to be expressly programmed to switch to stdin.
It appears to be working too, which is going to save me some headaches.
--edit
apparently I could also have done this with named pipesLast edited by Kotoro; 07-18-2011, 04:06 PM.

Code:$ bwa aln [OPTIONS] [DB] [FASTQ] | bwa samse [OPTIONS] [DB] - [FASTQ] | samtools view -Su - | samtools sort - [PREFIX]

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-

Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...-
