I have fastq files with read names like this:
"@HWUSI-EAS614:91:70KKMAAXX:5:43:12933:8491 1:N:0:"
Notice there is a space in the name. This is the format of all reads in the input fastq file. However, the sam file produced by bowtie sometimes trims off the last part after the space, and sometimes does not. Has anyone seen this behavior?
The SAM format does not allow spaces in the read name, so the general question is how does Bowtie modify read names? And why is not doing so consistently for all reads in the same run?
Thank you for any help.
