Hello, I'm currently using the text-formatted alignment produced with the tview command to discard reads that do not fully cover my region of interest.
For this, I filter out the alignment lines which contain a space character, my assumption being that these delimitate reads. However, as I observe some oddities with this filtering method, could you give me more information about the meaning of the space characters in the tview command output? I've already found documentation that seems relevant with the alignment character description (i.e., https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pileup_format) but none for space characters. Also, I often see additional characters such as "**DG.RYMC==*", what is the meaning of these letters? Thank you! Kind regards, Loïc
