Bedtools documentation states that one can add two extra fields to a bedpe file when using bamtobed. Does anyone know how to do that? I need to add the read sequences. Thanks.

one possible solution is to use your bed output in conjunction with
bedtools getfasta -tab
then parse the output to get the bed formatting back by perl -wpl -i.bak -e 's/:|-/\t/g;'
if you need the reads themselves and not the genome sequence where they mapped, you could write a sam parser to simply print some of the columns of the sam file. all the info you need is in the sam, just need to look at the sam docs to figure out what you want to print (i.e. which columns) and how to modify the sam to get bed-like coordinates. awk is good for such a task, just be aware of the strand

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
