I have aligned the fastq file to the reference genome and got a sam file. I know use "samtools stats" can get "error rate" of the sam file.
Is there any document shows how the error rate is calculated from the sam file? (since I want to seperately calculate the error rate of every read in the sam file instead of the average of the whole file)
Meanwhile，is there any easy way to combine the CIGAR and MD strings to to get the insertion,indel and mismatch base of each read aligned to the reference genome.
Any answer is appreciated.

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...
