NAME

       samtools-fixmate - fills in mate coordinates and insert size fields.

SYNOPSIS

       samtools fixmate [-rpcmu] [-O format] in.nameSrt.bam out.bam

DESCRIPTION

OPTIONS

       -r         Remove secondary and unmapped reads.

       -p         Disable FR proper pair check.

       -c         Add template cigar ct tag.

       -m         Add ms (mate score) tags.  These are used by markdup to select the best reads to keep.

       -u         Output uncompressed BAM or CRAM.

       -O FORMAT  Write the final output as sam, bam, or cram.

                  By  default,  samtools  tries  to  select  a format based on the output filename extension; if
                  output is to standard output or no format can be deduced, bam is selected.

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

       -@, --threads INT
                  Number of input/output compression threads to use in addition to main thread [0].

       -z FLAGs, --sanitize FLAGs
                  Perform basic sanitizing of records.  FLAGs is a comma-separated list of keywords, defined  in
                  the samtools-view(1) man page.  By default all FLAGs are enabled.  Use -z off to disable this.
