how to use the *.bam data to get the fasta file

[fay1313]

Hi everyone,

I'm a beginner in RNA-seq analysis. I hope I would be able to get some help even though my question sounds very basic.

I wonder if there's any software that can convert *.bam or *.gtf format directly to the fasta file format.

I've searched the question but got nothing.

Thanks so much!!

Thanks, arkilis! I will check the usage of samtools and bamtools.
Thank you very much!
