# CheckAllelesVcfInBam ## Introduction This tool has been written to check the allele frequency in BAM files. This is meant for comparison with the allele frequency reported at the VCF file ## Example To get the help menu: ~~~ biopet tool CheckAllelesVcfInBam -h Usage: CheckAllelesVcfInBam [options] -l <value> | --log_level <value> Log level -h | --help Print usage -v | --version Print version -I <file> | --inputFile <file> VCF file -o <file> | --outputFile <file> output VCF file name -s <value> | --sample <value> sample name -b <value> | --bam <value> bam file, from which the variants (VCF files) were called -m <value> | --min_mapping_quality <value> minimum mapping quality score for a read to be taken into account ~~~ To run the tool: ~~~ biopet tool CheckAllelesVcfInBam --inputFile myVCF.vcf \ --bam myBam1.bam --sample bam_sample1 --outputFile myAlleles.vcf ~~~ Note that the tool can run multiple BAM files at once. The only thing one needs to make sure off is matching the `--bam` and `--sample` in that same order. For multiple bam files: ~~~ biopet tool CheckAllelesVcfInBam --inputFile myVCF.vcf \ --bam myBam1.bam --sample bam_sample1 --bam myBam2.bam --sample bam_sample2 \ --bam myBam3.bam --sample bam_sample3 --outputFile myAlleles.vcf ~~~ ## Output outputFile = VCF file which contains an extra field with the allele frequencies per sample given to the tool.
