We would like to combine fairy with COMEBin which naturally supports bam files. Do you think Bam could be supported ?

@paulzierep BAM file is fundamentally not possible, unfortunately. This is because fairy does not do an alignment, which is why it's so fast.

Fairy works with semibin2 though, which is also a NN based approach, see the README
