zero clipping at the beginning of the read

[avilella]

I googled for a tool like this and I was glad to find it. Thanks @tseemann !

Could an option be added so that --start_max N limits the reads that are accepted if they have more than N clipped bases at the beginning of the read? E.g. for cases like:

4S96M - would be filtered out with --start_max 1 --max 5 96M4S - would not be filtered out with --start_max 1 --max 5

@avilella am i correct in that you would like separate --max for "start" and "end" ? out of interest, what is the use-case for this behaviour?

[avilella]

Yes, a max for start and one for end.

Thanks in advance

@avilella what does "start" mean in a SAM file? I think alignments are always begin..end with begin<end and revcom in a flag?
