Dear samtools developers:

I have some questions about samtools pileup format
http://samtools.sourceforge.net/pileup.shtml:

   1.

   at the read base column, a symbol ^' marks the start of a read segment
   which is a contiguous subsequence on the read separated byN/S/H' CIGAR
   operations. The ASCII of the character following `^' minus 33 gives the
   mapping quality.

   The base that is the start of a read segment which is a contiguous
   subsequence on the read separated by `N/S/H' CIGAR operations is before the
   symbol '^' or after the symbol and the ASCII?
   2.

   A symbol `$' marks the end of a read segment.

   The base that is the end of a read segment is before or after the symbol
   '$'?
   3.

   For the insertions in the column of read bases, are the qualities of the
   inserted bases given in the next column? What is the base of the read with
   a insertion in the reference position? Where is the base quality of the
   anchor base?
   4.

   For the deletions in the column of read bases, what is the base of the
   read with a deletion in the reference position? Where is the base quality
   of the anchor base?

I couldn't find the answers for the above questions. Could you please help
me with these problems? Thank you for your time!

Best

Jing
