Count the number of reads seen from male samples
This tool counts the number of sequence reads seen from samples that are male according to the sample metadata.
One or more BAM files.
Number of reads seen from male samples. If an output file name is provided, then the result will be written to that file. Otherwise it will be sent to standard console output.
java -jar GenomeAnalysisTK.jar \ -T CountMales \ -R reference.fasta \ -I samples.bam \ -o output.txt
These Read Filters are automatically applied to the data by the Engine before processing by CountMales.
This tool does not apply any downsampling by default.
All tools inherit arguments from the GATK Engine' "CommandLineGATK" argument collection, which can be used to modify various aspects of the tool's function. For example, the -L argument directs the GATK engine to restrict processing to specific genomic intervals; or the -rf argument allows you to apply certain read filters to exclude some of the data from the analysis.
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.

Arguments in this list are specific to this tool. Keep in mind that other arguments are available that are shared with other tools (e.g. command-line GATK arguments); see Inherited arguments above.
