# Bio::Tradis::AddTagsToSeq(3pm)

Takes a BAM file and creates a new BAM with tr and tq tags added to the sequence and quality strings.

## NAME

Bio::Tradis::AddTagsToSeq - Takes a BAM file and creates a new BAM with tr and tq tags added to the sequence and quality strings.

## VERSION

version 1.4.5

## SYNOPSIS

Bio::Tradis::AddTagsToSeq parses BAM files, adds given tags to the start of the sequence and creates temporary SAM file, which is then converted to BAM

```
   use Bio::Tradis::AddTagsToSeq;

   my $pipeline = Bio::Tradis::AddTagsToSeq->new(bamfile => 'abc');
   $pipeline->add_tags_to_seq();
```

## NAME

Bio::Tradis::AddTagsToSeq

## PARAMETERS

### Required

`"bamfile"` - path to/name of file containing reads and tags

### Optional

`"outfile"` - name to assign to output BAM. Defaults to `"file.tr.bam"` for an input file named `"file.bam"`

## METHODS

`"add_tags_to_seq"` - add TraDIS tags to reads. For unmapped reads, the tag\
 				  is added to the start of the read sequence and quality\
 				  strings. For reads where the flag indicates that it is\
 				  mapped and reverse complemented, the reverse complemented\
 				  tags are added to the end of the read strings.\
 				  This is because many conversion tools (e.g. picard) takes\
 				  the read orientation into account and will re-reverse the\
 				  mapped/rev comp reads during conversion, leaving all tags\
 				  in the correct orientation at the start of the sequences\
 				  in the resulting FastQ file.
