Stitching read pair R1 andf R2 sequences based on alignment from SAM/BAM
Hi,
there are many tools (bbmerge.sh from BBmap, VSEARCH, USEARCH, ...) which can look for some overlap between members of a FASTA/Q read pair but is there a tool which can use already mapped pair memebers to a common reference and merge them? I have the .fastq.gz
files still around so it could maybe just act on position-sorted SAM/BAM and poke through the synced read pairs in R1
and R2
files and merge them accordingly (replace N
s with a nucleotide from the other mate, eventually prefer higher QUAL
)?
