Hello, I have a BAM file and I want to create another BAM file by filtering only reads that are 100% identical mapped. For example if my read length is 100 , I want to select CIGAR 100M and make a bam file. Could you please suggest how this can be done. Thanks Adrian

To check for a given length of total match - e.g. 100 - you can use perl and anchor the regular expression: /^100M$/. This will exclude any other total match length (e.g. 95M or 125M) and any soft clipped read. You will have to re-header the file after filtering.

    | perl -lane 'print if $F[5] =~ /^100M$/;'

using samjdk http://lindenb.github.io/jvarkit/SamJdk.html . Check the edit-distance (NM) exists and is equals to zero.

java -jar  dist/samjdk.jar -e 'return !record.getReadUnmappedFlag() && record.getCigarString().equals("100M") &&  (record.getIntegerAttribute("NM")==null || record.getIntegerAttribute("NM").intValue()==0);' in.bam

Depending on your aligner, NM may or may not include clipped bases so you'll probably want to check the CIGAR as well.
