Dear All, I have multiple name-sorted BAM files generated from pair-end DNA 
sequences which look like: R1-1.bam, R1-2.bam, …, R2-1.bam, R2-2.bam, …, and I 
am going to do SNP calling. Before SNP calling, I am not sure if I have to 
merge them together and then fill them in mate coordinates just like: # Merge 
multiple name-sorted BAM files into one single BAM file. The option, -n,# 
indicates the input files are sorted by read names rather than by chromosomal 
coordinatessamtools merge –n merged.bam *bam # Fill the merged BAM file in mate 
coordinatessamtools fixmate -O bam merged.bam fixmated.bam # Or piped above 
commands assamtools merge - *bam | samtools fixmate -O bam - fixmaated.bam 
Could you please give me some comments or suggestions? Thank you in advance. 
Best regards,
