  • Converting sam to color space

    Hi,

    Does anybody know if a tool exists for converting sam (or bam) back to original csfasta file?
    I know that the color space information is included in the sam format, but I can't find a tool that does the conversion.
    So far, from what I read, neither samtool view nor picard tool have that option.
    That would be great if it existed, I really don't want to do it myself

    Thanks!

    Seems like time for a perl one liner. Try this:
    Code:
    cat <in.sam> | grep -v "^@" | perl -ne '$_ =~ s/\t.*CS:Z:([^\t]+).*/\n$1/g; print ">$_";'

      Thanks!
      But I am not sure it is making exactly what I want :
      The problem is that I want to get the original read, as they were output from the sequencer.
      So if part of the read was cut because the end was considered not matching I would like to put them back together. Same as if the read was align not continously on the genome (part of a read was matching somewhere and the other part somewhere else, because eg of rearrangement).
      I am not sure the solution is trivial to write especially a fast solution. or is it?

      And I am not entirely sure either that the problem I am describing is correct, and there might be other issue I don't see right now...

      what do you think?

        The CS tag should give ALL the colors, not just the aligned portion.

            Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
            by seqadmin


            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...
