Demultiplexing bam file

Hi to everyone,

I have NIPT data from multiple samples which are sequenced by Iontorrent. All of them are aligned together using bowtie. I want to separate every sample from the aligned bam file which consists of all samples together. Part of the header of the bam file is:

@HD VN:1.4  GO:none SO:coordinate
@RG ID:QDQDB    PL:IONTORRENT   PU:s5/540/Q35S04/08/DAIL00351   FO:TACGTACGTCTGAGCATCGATCGATGTACAGCTACGTACGTCTGAGCATCGATCGATGTACAGCTACGTACGTCTGAGCATCGATCGATGTACAGCTACGTACGTCTGAGCATCGATCGATGTACAGCTACGTACGTCTGAGCATCGATCGATGTACAGCTACGTACGTCTGAGCATCGATCGATGTACAGCTACGTACGTCTGAGCATCGATCGATGTACAGCTACGTACGTCTGAGCATCGATCGATGTACAGCTACGTACGTCTGAGCATCGATCGATGTACAGCTACGTACGTCTG DT:2023-05-04T05:36:13-0300 SM:13.02.1402_POOL2 KS:TCAG CN:ParsGene/S5XL-GALAXY

how can I do that?

I want to separate every sample

I don't understand. In your header there is only one sample : "13.02.1402_POOL2"

so why the size of bam file is 40 gig?

Yes, you're right, I know the bam file consists of multiple samples (It should be between 30 to 40 samples) and the size of the bam file is about 45GIG.

Part of the header of the bam file

So perhaps there are more samples.

hasani.iut6: grep "SM*" header_of_bam. Is there more than one unique ID there?

No. All of the Ids are "13.02.1402_POOL2". Do you think my bam file is not correct?
