AgileSamFileMerger

Combining two or more sorted SAM files into one sorted SAM file

AgileSamFileMerger reads the sequence entries in two or more ordered *.sam files and combines all the entries in the original files into a single *.sam file. The sequence reads in the merged *.sam file are all sorted by chromosome and chromosomal position. Reads not mapped to the reference sequence are discarded. However, if a sequence is a duplicate of another read it will be retained.

AgileSamFileMerger only exports the fields that are required by the SAM file format; other user-defined fields included by the alignment program are discarded.
