## BAM to FASTQ

### Description

This Picard-tool converts the BAM file into FASTQ file. The tool extracts read sequences and base quality scores from the input SAM/BAM file and outputs them in FASTQ format. This needs to be done so that the unaligned reads can be aligned (aligners take only FASTQ as input).

For more details, please check the home page of Picard tools.

### Parameters

none

### Output

- sam_to_fastq.fastq : Converted BAM file
