Converting BAM files to FASTQ?

Hi @bacterial_dna

It seems like your BAM contained sequencing reads! This is what is expected.

From here, you can do things like:

  1. assemble the reads into contigs (consensus sequences based on read evidence)
  2. compare the reads to known genomes to identify variants
  3. classify the reads against known species

For your question here:

This falls into an assembly protocol. The topics at this forum with the assembly tag are good reasources. One prior topic is here:

Please give that a review and let us know if we can help more! Later on, should you run into tool issues, you can start up new topics for community help.
