Galaxy Users, I would like to filter a .bam file to remove reads with low mapping quality, especially ambiguously mapped reads (MAPQ = 0). I can easily do this using the command line version of samtools as shown below. samtools view -bq 20 hba1.bam > hba1_MAPQ20.bam None of the options available under "NGS:SAM Tools" (e.g., Generate pileup and Filter SAM) provide an option for removing reads with low mapping quality. The history shown in http://main.g2.bx.psu.edu/u/onsongo/h/obtaininghighqualityreads shows the results I would like to obtain. Data 2 shows the results of Picard tools SAM/BAM Alignment Summary Metrics<http: main.g2.bx.psu.edu="" tool_runner?tool_id="PicardASMetrics"> on hba1.bam which contains reads with MAPQ values less than 20. As shown in this summary html, PF_READS_ALIGNED = 775 and PF_HQ_ALIGNED_READS = 241. Data 4 shows the results of Picard tools SAM/BAM Alignment Summary Metrics<http: main.g2.bx.psu.edu="" tool_runner?tool_id="PicardASMetrics"> on hba1_MAPQ20.bam which contains only reads with MAPQ greater than or equal to 20. As shown in this summary html, PF_READS_ALIGNED = 241 and PF_HQ_ALIGNED_READS = 241. Is there a way in Galaxy to filter a bam file to remove low quality mapped reads similar to using the samtools command line alternative shown above?

Hi Getiria, Galaxy does not have a tool to do this directly (but it would be a nice addition). Converting to SAM and using a combinations of tools in Text Manipulation would likely be possible. It would involve several steps and some experimentation, but a workflow could be created from that result to do the filter at all once in the future.
