I am using bowtie and have been outputting .bwt files but now need to convert those files to .sam format. I know bowtie has a .sam output option (-S) which I am now using, however I need to convert all the files I have produced so far using the .bwt format into SAM files so I don't lose all the work I have done so far. Using bowtie2sam.pl I can easily convert the files but the new files don't have headers, which is I need for the SAM -> BAM conversion. Is there a way to convert the files that creates headers or would it be better to manually add new headers with a loop of some kind? Thanks for the help!

Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
