I'd like to create a small file of reads randomly taken from a much larger file; e.g., from ~200 million to ~10 million or less. The reason is that I just want to play with different mapping/trimming/etc parameters without waiting a day or two for results. I want it to be random to more or less represent the nature of the full file.
Does anyone know of any tools that can do such a thing? The original file can be BAM, SAM, or FASTQ.
Thanks,
Richard Radcliffe
