Have you done the alignment with pysam? I am having some trouble with my alignment. The code is: samfile = pysam.AlignmentFile(files, "rb") . It doesn't like the call of the files.. error msg : IsADirectoryError: [Errno 21] could not open alignment file `bam/`: Is a directory

thank you for this amazing video, I have a question. How can I convert to BAM file to VCF format?

[@LiquidBrain]

Not sure it this will work, but i found a tools in galaxy call (bcftools mpileup) that could directly do the conversion you need, just not sure if it will fit the purpose of you converting between the two formats. Technically, BAM store aligment while vcf store mutations, but i believe you can convert BAM to fasta using (Samtools fastx), and use the resulting fasta to run another SNP detection tools to generate the vcf. Hope this helps -Brandon
