about editing SAM/BAM files

Hello,

I am trying to learn sam tools for extracting the data of specific regions in SAM/BAM files from CG hub. So I will be looking for a specific regions in these files for numerous patients with a single cancer type. Could you advice me some sources about this topic because I would like to get advanced on this subject.

I looked for current biostars treads yet I have found one. Thus I apologise if there is an obvious one already.

Thank you for your help and advice.

Best regards,
Tunc
