One of the most common tasks in bioinformatics is to align these reads against known reference genomes, chromosomes, or contigs. BioAlignments provides several data formats commonly used for this kind of task.</p><p>BioAlignments offers high-performance tools for SAM and BAM file formats, which are the most popular file formats.</p><p>If you have questions about the SAM and BAM formats or any of the terminology used when discussing these formats, see the published [specification][samtools-spec], which is maintained by the [samtools group][samtools].</p><p>A very very simple SAM file looks like the following:</p><pre><code class="language-none">@HD VN:1.6 SO:coordinate
@SQ SN:ref LN:45
r001 99 ref 7 30 8M2I4M1D3M = 37 39 TTAGATAAAGGATACTG *
r002 0 ref 9 30 3S6M1P1I4M * 0 0 AAAAGATAAGGATA *
r003 0 ref 9 30 5S6M * 0 0 GCCTAAGCTAA * SA:Z:ref,29,-,6H5M,17,0;
r004 0 ref 16 30 6M14N5M * 0 0 ATAGCTTCAGC *
r003 2064 ref 29 17 6H5M * 0 0 TAGGC * SA:Z:ref,9,+,5S6M,30,1;
r001 147 ref 37 30 9M = 7 -39 CAGCGGCAT * NM:i:1</code></pre><p>Where the first two lines are part of the &quot;header&quot;, and the following lines are &quot;records&quot;. Each record describes how a read aligns to some reference sequence. Sometimes one record describes one read, but there are other cases like chimeric reads and split alignments, where multiple records apply to one read. In the example above, <code>r003</code> is a chimeric read, and <code>r004</code> is a split alignment, and <code>r001</code> are mate pair reads. Again, we refer you to the official [specification][samtools-spec] for more details.</p><p>A BAM file stores this same information but in a binary and compressible format that does not make for pretty printing here!</p><h2><a class="nav-anchor" id="Reading-SAM-and-BAM-files-1" href="#Reading-SAM-and-BAM-files-1">Reading SAM and BAM files</a></h2><p>A typical script iterating over all records in a file looks like below:</p><pre><code class="language-julia">using BioAlignments
# Open a BAM file.
reader = open(BAM.Reader, &quot;data.bam&quot;)
# Iterate over BAM records.
for record in reader
# `record` is a BAM.Record object.
if BAM.ismapped(record)
# Print the mapped position.
println(BAM.refname(record), &#39;:&#39;, BAM.position(record))
end
end
# Close the BAM file.
close(reader)</code></pre><p>The size of a BAM file is often extremely large. The iterator interface demonstrated above allocates an object for each record and that may be a bottleneck of reading data from a BAM file. In-place reading reuses a pre-allocated object for every record and less memory allocation happens in reading:</p><pre><code class="language-julia">reader = open(BAM.Reader, &quot;data.bam&quot;)
record = BAM.Record()
while !eof(reader)
read!(reader, record)
# do something
end</code></pre><h2><a class="nav-anchor" id="SAM-and-BAM-Headers-1" href="#SAM-and-BAM-Headers-1">SAM and BAM Headers</a></h2><p>Both <code>SAM.Reader</code> and <code>BAM.Reader</code> implement the <code>header</code> function, which returns a <code>SAM.Header</code> object. To extract certain information out of the headers, you can use the <code>find</code> method on the header to extract information according to SAM/BAM tag. Again we refer you to the [specification][samtools-spec] for full details of all the different tags that can occur in headers, and what they mean.</p><p>Below is an example of extracting all the info about the reference sequences from the BAM header. In SAM/BAM, any description of a reference sequence is stored in the header, under a tag denoted <code>SQ</code> (think <code>reference SeQuence</code>!).</p><pre><code class="language-jlcon">julia&gt; reader = open(SAM.Reader, &quot;data.sam&quot;);
julia&gt; find(header(reader), &quot;SQ&quot;)
7-element Array{Bio.Align.SAM.MetaInfo,1}:
Bio.Align.SAM.MetaInfo:
tag: SQ
value: SN=Chr1 LN=30427671
Bio.Align.SAM.MetaInfo:
tag: SQ
value: SN=Chr2 LN=19698289
Bio.Align.SAM.MetaInfo:

value: SN=chloroplast LN=154478
Bio.Align.SAM.MetaInfo:
tag: SQ
value: SN=mitochondria LN=366924
</code></pre><p>In the above we can see there were 7 sequences in the reference: 5 chromosomes, one chloroplast sequence, and one mitochondrial sequence.</p><h2><a class="nav-anchor"

Note that accessing optional tag fields will result in type instability in Julia. This is because the type of the optional data is not known until run-time, as the tag is being read. This can have a significant impact on performance. To limit this, if the user knows the type of a value in advance, specifying it as a type annotation will alleviate the problem:</p><p>Below is an example of looping over records in a bam file and using indexing syntax to get the data stored in the &quot;NM&quot; tag.

@SQ SN:ref LN:45</code></pre><pre><code class="language-julia">julia&gt; a = SAM.MetaInfo(&quot;HD&quot;, [&quot;VN&quot; =&gt; 1.6, &quot;SO&quot; =&gt; &quot;coordinate&quot;])
SAM.MetaInfo:
tag: HD
value: VN=1.6 SO=coordinate
julia&gt; b = SAM.MetaInfo(&quot;SQ&quot;, [&quot;SN&quot; =&gt; &quot;ref&quot;, &quot;LN&quot; =&gt; 45])
SAM.MetaInfo:
tag: SQ
value: SN=ref LN=45
julia&gt; h = SAM.Header([a, b])
SAM.Header(SAM.MetaInfo[SAM.MetaInfo:
tag: HD
value: VN=1.6 SO=coordinate, SAM.MetaInfo:
tag: SQ
value: SN=ref LN=45])
</code></pre><p>Then to create the writer for a SAM file, construct a <code>SAM.Writer</code> using the header and an <code>IO</code> type:</p><pre><code class="language-julia">julia&gt; samw = SAM.Writer(open(&quot;my-data.sam&quot;, &quot;w&quot;), h)
SAM.Writer(IOStream(&lt;file my-data.sam&gt;))
</code></pre><p>To make a BAM Writer is slightly different, as you need to use a specific stream type from the [BGZFStreams][bgzfstreams] package:</p><pre><code class="language-julia">julia&gt; using BGZFStreams
julia&gt; bamw = BAM.Writer(BGZFStream(open(&quot;my-data.bam&quot;, &quot;w&quot;), &quot;w&quot;))
BAM.Writer(BGZFStreams.BGZFStream{IOStream}(&lt;mode=write&gt;))
</code></pre><p>Once you have a BAM or SAM writer, you can use the <code>write</code> method to write <code>BAM.Record</code>s or <code>SAM.Record</code>s to file:</p><pre><code class="language-julia">julia&gt; write(bamw, rec) # Here rec is a `BAM.Record`
330780</code></pre><p>[samtools]: https://samtools.github.io/ [samtools-spec]: https://samtools.github.io/hts-specs/SAMv1.pdf [samtags]: https://samtools.github.io/hts-specs/SAMtags.pdf [bgzfstreams]: https://github.com/BioJulia/BGZFStreams.jl</p><footer><hr/><a class="previous" href="../"><span class="direction">Previous</span><span class="title">Home</span></a><a class="next" href="../api/public/"><span class="direction">Next</span><span class="title">Public</span></a></footer></article></body></html>
