    strip header off sam header using bam

    I am trying to remove the SAM header from a bam file. Using the below code I get:

    Code:
     samtools view -H IonXpress_009_150603.bam > header.sam | cat header.sam bedfile.bed > new_file.bed
    current output:

    This should do what you want.

    Code:
    $ samtools view -H IonXpress_009_150603.bam | cat - bedfile.bed > new_file.bed
    Edit: This won't strip the @RG lines (though that can done easily). You should consider Peter's point below.

      If you remove the read groups (@RG) from the header, you should also remove them from the reads...

        So something like (hopefully it's close):

        Code:
         samtools view -H IonXpress_009_150603.bam | sed '/^@RG/d'| cat - bedfile.bed > new_file.bed
        Thank you .

        EDIT: this command is close (probably not the best), but why isn't the bed file being used like it was before?

        Code:
        samtools view -H /media/cmccabe/C2F8EFBFF8EFAFB9/pool_I_090215/IonXpress_008_150902.bam | sed '/^@RG/d' | sed 's/{"flow.*//' | sed 's/--.*//' | sed 's/@PG.*//' | cat - /home/cmccabe/Desktop/NGS/bed/modified_sorted_IDT.bed > /home/cmccabe/Desktop/NGS/bed/new_file.bed
        new_file.bed output:

          Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
          by SEQadmin2


          I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

          Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

          From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
          by SEQadmin2


          Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.

          The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
