CrossMap is versatile tool to convert genome coordinates or annotation files between genome assemblies. It supports mostly commonly used file types, including BAM, BED,BigWig, GFF, GTF, SAM, Wiggle, and VCF formats. For large plain text file types, such as BED, GFF, GTF and VCF, reading from remote servers and file compression are supported.
CrossMap updates chromosomes, genome coordinates, header sections, and all BAM flags accordingly. The program version (of CrossMap) is inserted into the header section, along with the names of the original BAM file and the chain file. For pair-end sequencing, insert size is also recalculated.
