call and phase heterozygous SNPs
Synopsis
samtools phase [-AF] [-k len] [-b prefix] [-q minLOD] [-Q minBaseQ] in.bam
Description
Call and phase heterozygous SNPs.
Options
- -A
Drop reads with ambiguous phase.
- -b STR
Prefix of BAM output. When this option is in use, phase-0 reads will be saved in file STR.0.bam and phase-1 reads in STR.1.bam. Phase unknown reads will be randomly allocated to one of the two files. Chimeric reads with switch errors will be saved in STR.chimeric.bam. [null]
- -F
Do not attempt to fix chimeric reads.
- -k INT
Maximum length for local phasing. [13]
- -q INT
Minimum Phred-scaled LOD to call a heterozygote. [40]
- -Q, --min-BQ INT
Minimum base quality to be used in het calling. [13]
- --no-PG
Do not add a @PG line to the header of the output file.
