Hi Guys,
I want to do something very simple, but I'm finding it very difficult to make any headway.
I have .sam files from a sequencing experiment, and I want to visualise a few small regions by uploading them to UCSC. The problem is, I can't even open a .sam file let alone select specific information.
I can't seem to open the .sam file in MySQL Workbench - is this even the right program to use?
I suppose the question I'm asking is, what is the *simplest* way of taking a 4GB .sam file, and extracting the reads that align to say, Chr1, and saving them as a new .sam file?
Many thanks!
Adam
