How to trim the length of reads in a CRAM file?

I have a CRAM file with paired reads which looks like this:

im13@node-13-21:~/scratch_im13_projects/im13_basespace_runs$ samtools view ./walkup_194_repeat/CRAM/A01_FR_KAPA_25x_1ug_SR_1ngx4rxns_S1.cram | head

D00586:937:HVCWGBCX3:1:1101:1705:1849   77      *       0       0       *       *       0       0       NGGGAGAATGCCATGCATTGGTTTC       #<<GGIGIIIIIIIIGIGGGIG<<<

I would like to trim the ends of these 25bp reads to 20bp length, e.g.

for the first read: NCAGAGGAAGCGGAACGCATGTTTC --> NCAGAGGAAGCGGAACGCAT

for the second read: AGGGTGTTCGGGCCGCTGCTCTGCA -> AGGGTGTTCGGGCCGCTGCT

How can I do this and save the output?

Many thanks!

Looks like these are unaligned reads. You may be able to pipe these through samtools collate (reads seem to be collated but just in case) | samtools fastq | through a program that does the trimming (like bbduk.sh from BBTools) | samtools to CRAM (if you want to restore the format).

I also have the FASTQ files for R1 and R2 which were combined to make the CRAM:

im13@node-13-21:~/scratch_im13_projects/im13_basespace_runs$ samtools view ./walkup_194_repeat/FASTQ/A01_FR_KAPA_25x_1ug_SR_1ngx4rxns_S1_R1_001.fastq.gz | head

can I run the trimming on the FASTQ files and then convert to CRAM? if so, how can I do this? apologies not familiar with bbduk.sh

Yes you can. Assuming you want to do this for both reads you can do something like

bbduk.sh -Xmx2g in1=R1.fastq.gz in2=R2.fastq.gz out1=trim_R1.fastq.gz out2=trim_R2.fastq.gz forcetrimright=19

Then convert the files to CRAM.
