creating SAM file headers #3235

Open notestaff opened 5 months ago

notestaff commented 5 months ago

The SAM/BAM handling tutorial (https://docs.seqan.de/seqan3/main_user/tutorial_sam_file.html) is quite helpful, but is missing examples on handling of SAM file headers: how to create them from scratch, how to access them, how to specify the reference sequences, how to reuse/update headers from an existing file. I was able to find most of this by searching the code, but it would be useful if these functions were included in the tutorial.

Hi @notestaff,

thanks a lot for the feedback! Indeed we are missing documentation on the header functionality and a tutorial would also be helpful. We'll see what we can manage in the near future with our limited resources.
