Hi, I want to store a minimal representation of an alignment (more minimal than CRAM). I thought I could save the position, cigar, and MD and be able to reconstruct the read sequence, but the MD (IIUC) allows reconstructing the reference from the read.
Is there something exposed in the current htslib that would facilitate this? E.g. a tag that's sort of the inverse of MD? I know this must be used internally for CRAM. thanks for your help, -Brent _______________________________________________ Samtools-help mailing list Samtools-help@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/samtools-help
