I have got some illumina data in a a merged BAM file for a particular sample and I would like to convert it back to per lane data files (BAM or fastq) so it would be compatible with the analysis pipeline. Any ideas on the best way to do this?

When I did this a few days ago (with only knowledge of command-line stuff and samtools), here's a rough guide to what I did:- Extract header from BAM file
Code:
samtools view -H infile.bam > header.sam
- filter out lanes from BAM file, add header
Code:
(cat header.sam; samtools view infile.bam | grep '^DATA...._<lane>_.') > out_lane<lane>.sam
- convert SAM to BAM
Code:
samtools view -S out_lane<lane>.sam -b > out_lane<lane>.bam
There's probably some better way, but it would have taken longer for me to find than for me to just do it and deal with the additional overhead of storing temporary SAM files per lane. - Extract header from BAM file

If the lane info is stored in RG tags you can use this: http://genome.sph.umich.edu/wiki/SplitBamComment

SplitBam looks ideal, but I can't find a download link for it. Any ideas?
And thanks for the other suggestion too, that makes a lot of sense.
--EDIT--
Actually it looks like there are no @RG in the headers ... Oh Dear.Last edited by danielsbrewer; 09-29-2011, 01:03 AM.Comment

SplitBam download link?
I am trying to do the exact same thing and I do have @RG tags, but I can not find a download link for SplitBam. Does anyone know how to download this program?

Note that either way you are downloading the entire libStatGen toolkit, which you must then compile. SplitBam is merely one of the programs in the toolkit.Originally posted by jtladner View PostComment

Cancer research has been transformed through numerous molecular techniques, with RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) playing a crucial role in understanding the complexity of the disease. Maša Ivin, Ph.D., Scientific Writer at Lexogen, and Yvonne Goepel Ph.D., Product Manager at Lexogen, remarked that “The high-throughput nature of RNA-seq allows for rapid profiling and deep exploration of the transcriptome.” They emphasized its indispensable role in cancer research, aiding in biomarker...09-07-2023, 11:15 PM -
Ribonucleic acid (RNA) represents a range of diverse molecules that play a crucial role in many cellular processes. From serving as a protein template to regulating genes, the complex processes involving RNA make it a focal point of study for many scientists. This article will spotlight various methods scientists have developed to investigate different RNA subtypes and the broader transcriptome.
