Hi everybody!
This is my first thread in this forum.
Recently, I started an internship in a bioinformatics research group. Unfortunately, I have only little experience regarding programming, bioinformatic data handling, ...
I have basic programming skills in Bash, Python and R, but that's it.
My task is to inspect three BAM files (> 1 Mio reads). The three BAM files were generated using different methods. I want to find out which BAM files contain the same reads, which reads are only in BAM file 1, which reads are missing in BAM file 3 and so on.
Can you give me some advice how to deal with this task? Do you have experiences in BAM file handling?
Many greetings!
