Hi all,
Does anybody know if there is a restriction for a read name length (say up to 10k characters)? Have you ever experienced that any software (like samtools, bwa, STAR, etc) complains about long read names?
Thanks
Please define long. 100 characters, 10000 characters?
See the edited version.
what's your motivation for doing this ?
I am writing a pipeline, where there is a read simulation step, and I want to include some information in the read name, like chr name (which can be long in some cases), coordinates, strand etc.
