Hello, I agree, what you say fits perfectly for GATK, but as I wanted to create a more generic code I did it this way (also because I am a newbie in the galaxy code and I didn't know so well how to implement this ). What about a tool that doesn't accept a region, just a bam? Maybe we can put another parameter in the parallelism tag that force to split the bam. Mostly, just to create a bed file would be better, right? What do you think?
