bam2fastq

bam2fastq is a program to extract sequences and qualities from a BAM file.

The original version can be found here. It has subsequently been modified to handle BAM files with mixtures of paired and unpaired reads and write to stdout.

INSTALLATION

Requires make, gcc, and the zlib compression libraries - all of which should be present on most Unix-like systems (including Macs).

First clone the repository from github, including its dependencies:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/jts/bam2fastq

Then change to the directory and run make:

cd bam2fastq
make
