I'm trying to get read counts for things like reference normal forward/reverse count, alternative/reference forward/reverse counts from a bam file. I've honestly read through so many forum posts and BioStar and I can't seem to find the answer. Any help would be appreciated.

This should still work thought I have not used it recently: http://genome.sph.umich.edu/wiki/BamUtil:_validate -
I recall running into this site a bit ago. I'll give it another go. Thank you very much.
Are read counts not something typically used/had? I'm a bit of a novice in the art, but this strikes me as very important, no?Comment

Forward and reverse counts should be 50/50. You could get counts for all the flags, and tell from that how many go each way.
That's not a common thing to worry about.
You can't get "alternate" counts from the bam. If you make a vcf, the vcf is likely to have what you want in the DP4 value

After consulting with both you guys and a seasoned coworker, I've figured out what I needed I think. Thank you guys for the answers!Comment

I need suggestion to extract the chromosome or chromosome region (e.g. chr1: 100,000,000-200,000,000) without sorting bam file. Any idea related with this would be appreciated.Comment

The immune system’s power comes from its genetic diversity, allowing myriad threats to be neutralized through first recognizing foreign antigens. That diversity is also what makes the immune system so difficult to study. Recent advances in sequencing technology and computational biology, however, are giving researchers new tools to understand immune responses and immune-related diseases in greater detail.
