    query read by read name

    Hello,
    I am using picard library in java.
    is it possible to make query for a specific readname in a bam file?

    thanks

    If you just want one or few reads you could do:

    Code:
    samtools view myaln.bam | grep '^myreadname'

      I meant what the API in picard can be used.

        Not sure if it is possible in picard. If helpful, consider that you can send the output of picard to stdout using /dev/stdout as output file and then you could pipe it to samtools or grep. If you can be more specific about what you want to achieve you could get more helpful answers...

          bam file can be sorted in two ways: coordinate and queryname (sorted by read name). bam.query is based on coordinate. I can not find any APIs for bam file sorted by queryname. I guess there should be search APIs...

            Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool
            by SEQadmin2



            CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

            Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into

            Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
            by SEQadmin2


            Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

            The systematic characterization of the human proteome has
