BamHash

BamHash is a software tool for large resequencing projects that uses a checksum-based method to ensure that read pairs in FASTQ files match exactly the read pairs stored in BAM files. It can be used to verify the integrity of the files stored and discover any discrepancies, making it possible to determine if it is safe to delete the FASTQ files storing raw sequencing read after alignment, without the loss of data
