Bugs in Tools used by SamSifter
-------------------------------

* BetterRMDup fails when processing MALT'ed files. This is actually a bug of
  the SAM parsing library used in BetterRMDup that does not handle the custom MALT
  ``@mm`` record properly. The bug has been reported and will be fixed in a future
  version.
* SAMtools ``view`` reports a possibly truncated file and complains about a
  missing EOF marker. This is likely a bug in either
  MALT and/or SAMtools ``view`` which can be safely ignored. See
  http://sourceforge.net/p/samtools/mailman/samtools-help/thread/4EC52844.3090808@broadinstitute.org/
  for details. It is caused by a missing compression flag when processing
  uncompressed files.
* SAMtools ``view`` complains about inconsistency of the sequence length when
  compared to the CIGAR string. This is a bug in MALT 0.0.12 that has been
  reported. Please re-MALT your files with a newer version or remove the
  affected reads manually.
