Bazam: a rapid method for read extraction and realignment of high-throughput sequencing data

Abstract The vast quantities of short-read sequencing data being generated are often exchanged and stored as aligned reads. However, aligned data becomes outdated as new reference genomes and alignment methods become available. Here we describe Bazam, a tool that efficiently extracts the original pa...
