I am trying to perform reference-based assembly. Most of the tutorials teach how to create a bam file and view alignemnts in IGV or Tablet. But, I want a assembled genome sequence in fasta format. How can I do that ? Is there any tool or linux syntax available for this purpose ?
Generate consensus from BAM file
Generate Consensus sequence from BAM file ;
Assembling a genome is not what you get by aligning to a reference. For that, you need an assembler.
Creating a consensus from an alignment will also give you a fasta consensus, but it is not the same as a real de novo assembly.
