Basic Paired-End Sam Questions

Yes there will be two separate lines for each of the pairs. the mates will most likely have the same name in column 1 of the sam file (this is dependant on the data type and the aligner but this assumptions holds true for illumina data using aligners such as BWA or bowtie). You can use the flag field (column 2) to determine whether it is the first or the second in the pair.
