Dear all, I have easy script in bash using awk language. I filtrate bam file by GC content (see at code), but I need to get on output bam file too with header. Could you help me with this? thank you My code:
#!/bin/bash
for i in 54321*.bam
do
samtools view -h /home/filip/Desktop/Analyza\ NIFTY\ and\ CNVs/NIFTY\ pooling009/$i | awk '{ n=length($10); print gsub(/[GCCgcs]/,"",$10)/n,"\t",$0 }' | awk '($1 <= 0.6 && $1 >= 0.3){print $0}' | awk '!($1="")' | samtools -bS - > z$i;
done

As long as you don't have any reads beginning with "@" (and you shouldn't), just add an if(substr($1,1,1) == "@") { print $0} else {...your current code...}. You just want to avoid all of the piping and have a single awk command (unless you want to modify each of the pipes, which would quickly become annoying).
BTW, this might be easier with pysam. Awk is great, but it can get a bit unwieldy with longer commands.
Thank you, I will try to put it into one awk command, if If I can manage to do it and use your code.
conditioning your code to be executed only on reads can be written like this: if(/^@/){print}else{yourcode}
I am so apologize for disturbing, but if I am trying to put together your code with my code, I failed, could you please help me?
you could use your code without including the header in a first samtools run (and you wouldn't have to check whether each line is a header or a read, you'll only be dealing with reads), and then embed the header from the original bam in a subsequent samtools run. something like this:
for bamfile in *bam; do
samtools view -H $bamfile > temp.sam
samtools view $bamfile | yourcode >> temp.sam
samtools view -bS temp.sam > mod_$bamfile
done
I use it but I receive error log (input bam contain header, I check it):
[samopen] no @SQ lines in the header.
[sam_read1] missing header? Abort!
[bam_header_read] EOF marker is absent. The input is probably truncated.
that is due to the fact that samtools requires a header in sam format, or the -t option that would also require a tab file. it would be easier then to modify the code as I did in the answer: extract the header into a samfile, edit the reads and append them to the samfile, convert the samfile to bamfile and remove the temporal samfile. this definitely works, although there might be a lighter way that pipes all that information without having to generate that temporal samfile.

thank you for your time and for your help, I cannot finish it, but I try to rewrite code to get the result what I want.
Log in to answer this question.
I think, I could use something like this (
|| $1 ~/^@/), but I really do not know where do I incorporate it.
