plasmid spades R1/R2 files?
Hello,
I know spades innately saves the corrected R1/R2 fastq files for the assembly. However, the plasmid spades program only uses a subset of those reads, so I was wondering if there is a flag or way to pull out just those reads used to build the plasmid assembly and place them in separate R1/R2 files?
I am also open to using other mapping methods (BWA) but I just don't know how to split fastq files into genomic and plasmid DNA.
Thanks!

If you have the genomic reference available you can use an aligner (look into
bbmap.shfrom BBMap suite withoutu=file.fq.gzoption) to collect reads that do not map. Those should be your plasmid reads (assuming there is no other entity expected to be present).
