    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...

            Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
            by SEQadmin2



            Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

            Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
            by SEQadmin2



            Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

            There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...
