For BWA, first do alignment (generate .sai), then sampe the paired-ends (generate .sam), then convert .sam to .bam. Now I'm going to write script to combine all these steps. ie, input is fastq, then output is .bam file.
Now a big question is, I need to guarantee, say, the first step (generating .sai) is COMPLETE (instead of being aborted) before going to the second step; and the second step (generating .sam) before the third. I there any way to check that for BWA? Or what's the sign for the completeness of each step?
btw, for combining of steps of BWA, I just need to put those three commands together? Or any other trick?
thanks!
