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.

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

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.

splitBam is part of the bamUtil package, which i found it here https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-science and it was very easy to download it.

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) do not code for proteins but play important roles in numerous cellular processes including gene silencing, developmental pathways, and more. There are numerous types including microRNA (miRNA), long ncRNA (lncRNA), circular RNA (circRNA), and more. In this article, we discuss innovative ncRNA research and explore recent technological advancements that improve the study of ncRNAs.

Metagenomics has improved the way researchers study microorganisms across diverse environments. Historically, studying microorganisms relied on culturing them in the lab, a method that limits the investigation of many species since most are unculturable1. Metagenomics overcomes these issues by allowing the study of microorganisms regardless of their ability to be cultured or the environments they inhabit. Over time, the field has evolved, especially with the advent...-
