🦋 NAME

PicardCommandLine — manipulate SAM and BAM files 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS

PicardCommandLine COMMAND [OPTION]...

Literally that's the whole vibe: pick a COMMAND, add whatever [OPTION]s you need, and you're off to the races 🏁

🌸 DESCRIPTION

Okay so first things first, SAM (Sequence Alignment/Map) is a generic format for storing large nucleotide sequence alignments. It's the foundation everything else here is built on 🧬 ✨

Picard Tools comes packed with lots of utilities to manipulate SAM and BAM files. If you want the full list with a short description of each one, just run PicardCommandLine -h. No cap, that's the first thing you should do 🫶

Want to know the options and parameters for a specific command? Run PicardCommandLine COMMAND -h and it'll spill all the tea on that one command 💜 😭

🐛 REPORTING BUGS

If something's acting sus, reach out at samtools-devel@lists.sourceforge.net 🙈
