NAME
       samtools	depad -	convert	padded BAM to unpadded BAM

SYNOPSIS
       samtools	depad [-SsCu1] [-T ref.fa] [-o output] in.bam

DESCRIPTION
       Converts	 a  BAM	 aligned  against  a padded reference to a BAM aligned
       against the depadded reference.	The padded reference may contain  ver-
       batim  "*" bases	in it, but "*" bases are also counted in the reference
       numbering.  This	means that a sequence base-call	aligned	against	a ref-
       erence "*" is considered	to be a	cigar match ("M" or "X") operator  (if
       the  base-call is "A", "C", "G" or "T").	 After depadding the reference
       "*" bases are deleted and such aligned sequence base-calls  become  in-
       sertions.   Similarly  transformations  apply for deletions and padding
       cigar operations.

OPTIONS
       -S     Ignored for compatibility	with previous samtools versions.  Pre-
	      viously this option was required if input	was in SAM format, but
	      now the correct format is	automatically  detected	 by  examining
	      the first	few characters of input.

       -s     Output in	SAM format.  The default is BAM.

       -C     Output in	CRAM format.  The default is BAM.

       -u     Do  not compress the output.  Applies to either BAM or CRAM out-
	      put format.

       -1     Enable fastest compression level.	 Only works for	 BAM  or  CRAM
	      output.

       -T FILE
	      Provides	the padded reference file.  Note that without this the
	      @SQ line lengths will be incorrect, so for most use  cases  this
	      option will be considered	as mandatory.

       -o FILE
	      Specifies	 the  output  filename.	  By default output is sent to
	      stdout.

       --no-PG
	      Do not add a @PG line to the header of the output	file.
