This tool takes in an aligned SAM or BAM and adds the OA tag to every aligned read unless an interval list is specified, where it only adds the tag to reads that fall within the intervals in the interval list. This can be useful if you are about to realign but want to keep the original alignment information as a separate tag.
Usage example:
java -jar picard.jar AddOATag \
L=some_picard.interval_list \
I=sorted.bam \
O=fixed.bam

Overview
AddOATag (Picard) specific arguments
This table summarizes the command-line arguments that are specific to this tool. For more details on each argument, see the list further down below the table or click on an argument name to jump directly to that entry in the list.
Argument name(s) | Default value | Summary | |
---|---|---|---|
Required Arguments | |||
--INPUT -I |
SAM or BAM input file | ||
--OUTPUT -O |
SAM or BAM file to write merged result to | ||
Optional Tool Arguments | |||
--arguments_file |
read one or more arguments files and add them to the command line | ||
--help -h |
false | display the help message | |
--INTERVAL_LIST -L |
If provided, only records that overlap given interval list will have the OA tag added. | ||
--version |
false | display the version number for this tool | |
Optional Common Arguments | |||
--COMPRESSION_LEVEL |
5 | Compression level for all compressed files created (e.g. BAM and VCF). | |
--CREATE_INDEX |
false | Whether to create an index when writing VCF or coordinate sorted BAM output. | |
--CREATE_MD5_FILE |
false | Whether to create an MD5 digest for any BAM or FASTQ files created. | |
--GA4GH_CLIENT_SECRETS |
client_secrets.json | Google Genomics API client_secrets.json file path. | |
--MAX_RECORDS_IN_RAM |
500000 | When writing files that need to be sorted, this will specify the number of records stored in RAM before spilling to disk. Increasing this number reduces the number of file handles needed to sort the file, and increases the amount of RAM needed. | |
--QUIET |
false | Whether to suppress job-summary info on System.err. | |
--REFERENCE_SEQUENCE -R |
Reference sequence file. | ||
--TMP_DIR |
One or more directories with space available to be used by this program for temporary storage of working files | ||
--USE_JDK_DEFLATER -use_jdk_deflater |
false | Use the JDK Deflater instead of the Intel Deflater for writing compressed output | |
--USE_JDK_INFLATER -use_jdk_inflater |
false | Use the JDK Inflater instead of the Intel Inflater for reading compressed input | |
--VALIDATION_STRINGENCY |
STRICT | Validation stringency for all SAM files read by this program. Setting stringency to SILENT can improve performance when processing a BAM file in which variable-length data (read, qualities, tags) do not otherwise need to be decoded. | |
--VERBOSITY |
INFO | Control verbosity of logging. | |
Advanced Arguments | |||
--showHidden |
false | display hidden arguments |

--MAX_RECORDS_IN_RAM
When writing files that need to be sorted, this will specify the number of records stored in RAM before spilling to disk. Increasing this number reduces the number of file handles needed to sort the file, and increases the amount of RAM needed.

--USE_JDK_DEFLATER / -use_jdk_deflater
Use the JDK Deflater instead of the Intel Deflater for writing compressed output
Boolean false
--USE_JDK_INFLATER / -use_jdk_inflater

--VALIDATION_STRINGENCY
Validation stringency for all SAM files read by this program. Setting stringency to SILENT can improve performance when processing a BAM file in which variable-length data (read, qualities, tags) do not otherwise need to be decoded.
The --VALIDATION_STRINGENCY argument is an enumerated type (ValidationStringency), which can have one of the following values:
- STRICT
- LENIENT
- SILENT
ValidationStringency STRICT
--VERBOSITY
Control verbosity of logging.
The --VERBOSITY argument is an enumerated type (LogLevel), which can have one of the following values:
- ERROR
- WARNING
- INFO
- DEBUG
LogLevel INFO
--version
display the version number for this tool
boolean false
