I have a SAM/BAM file and I'd like to grep for alignments of certain reads IDs. 
I have the read ID strings in another file. I'm currently doing this with:
$ samtools view in.bam | fgrep -w -f read.ids > alignments.txt

Is it possible to parallelise the grep by having each grep process a different 
subset of read iDs from the read.ids file? Or is there an alternative way to 
parallelise this which I have overlooked?

Cheers,
Nathan
