## SYNOPSIS

**bam2bed\_gnuParallel** \[*--help*\] \[*--clean*\] *\<input-indexed-bam-file\>* \[*output-bed-file*\]

## DESCRIPTION

-

  Pass in the name of an indexed BAM file to create a sorted BED file using GNU Parallel.

  (stdin isn't supported through this wrapper script.)

-

  Add **--clean** to remove \<input-indexed-bam-file\> after turning it into BED.

  You can pass in the name of the output bed archive to be created. Otherwise, the output will have the same name as the input file, with an additional
