How to extract specific location in .bam files

Question

[optimistsso4co3]

I would like to make a minimal example of my wgs .bam and .bam.bai files to accelerate pipeline testing. For example, i would like to select chr1:1-1e7 & chr1:1-1e7 regions and create that same .bam .bai file from them. How to accomplish that?
