Hi,

I am using the genome browser to view BAM files which have been  
trimmed to remove overlapping read ends for Illumina PE reads. It  
appears the browser is not correctly placing the clipped reads, see  
the example below. The browser removes the clipped part of the read,  
but the remaining part is always positioned at the start of the  
alignment, meaning that reads on the reverse strand will be misplaced.  
Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Cheers,

Ola

Read name: HWI-ST344_0091:6:1204:11502:145261#CTTGTA
Position: chr1:31021473-31021509
Band: 1p35.2
Genomic Size: 37
Alignment Quality: 60
CIGAR string: 63S37M (63 Skipped, 37 (mis)Match)
Tags: AM:37 LB:cw19 MD:100 NM:0 RG:H3k27ac SM:37 XT:U X0:1 X1:0 XM:0 XO:0 XG:0
Flags: 0x93:
   (0x80) Read 2 of pair | (0x10) Read is on '-' strand | (0x03)  
Properly paired
Note: although the read was mapped to the reverse strand of the  
genome, the sequence and CIGAR in BAM are relative to the forward  
strand.
