The SAM header has a provision to annotate files going through pipelines with the processing steps they underwent. E.g. STAR add something like the following to the header:
@PG ID:STAR PN:STAR VN:STAR_2.6.1a_08-27 CL:STAR --runThreadN 16 --genomeDir ... --readFilesIn ... --readFilesCommand zcat --outTmpDir ... --outStd BAM_Unsorted --outSAMtype BAM Unsorted --outSAMunmapped Within --alignSJoverhangMin 5 --alignEndsType Local --alignSoftClipAtReferenceEnds yes --twopassMode Basic
@CO user command line: STAR --genomeDir ... --runThreadN 16 --twopassMode Basic --alignEndsType Local --alignSoftClipAtReferenceEnds yes --outSAMunmapped Within --alignSJoverhangMin 5 --readFilesCommand zcat --outStd BAM_Unsorted --outSAMtype BAM Unsorted --readFilesIn ... --outTmpDir ...
It would be nice to have something similar in atropos' sam output.
