Hi, I had a error message when I use picard to replace read groups in a BAM file, like this:

$ java -jar AddOrReplaceReadGroups.jar I=SRX020270.sorted.bam O=SRX020270.resorted.bam SORTORDER=coordinate RGID=SRX020270 RGLB=bar RGPL=illumina RGSM=SRX020270 RGPU='run barcode' CREATEINDEX=True

I was told that read name SRX020270.6546275 was an unmapped read, so I checked out the entry for this read, and also the head line in SRX020270.sorted.bam.

$ samtools view SRX020270.sorted.bam | grep "SRX020270.6546275"

So, my question is, is there a way to fix this problem?
