NAME

GenOOx::Data::File::SAMbwa::Record - Represents a record of a SAM format file generated by BWA

SYNOPSIS

# Object representing a record of a sam file 

# To initialize 
my $sam_record = GenOOx::Data::File::SAMbwa::Record->new(
    fields => [qname,flag, rname, pos, mapq, cigar,
               rnext, pnext, tlen, seq, qual, tags]
);

DESCRIPTION

This object represents a record of a sam file generated by BWA and offers methods for accessing the different
attributes. It implements several additional methods that transform original attributes in more manageable
attributes. eg. from the FLAG attribute the actual strand is extracted etc.

EXAMPLES

# Check if the record corresponds to a match
my $mapped = $sam_record->is_mapped;

# Check if the record corresponds to a non match
my $unmapped = $sam_record->is_unmapped;

# Parse the FLAG attribute and return 1 or -1 for the strand
my $strand = $sam_record->strand;
