Extract list of mapped UMIs in cell ranger output

Hi everyone, and thanks in advance. I am trying to compare the reads in a sample that are mapping to two different reference genomes. I have all the cell ranger outputs, including the bam files, and I would like to extract the UMIs that are mapping to each. Is this possible, or are the UMIs already removed at this point? Thanks

The corrected molecular barcodes are present as a tag in the BAM files in this case: UB.

To extract them you should search the forum for how to do this:

That should be the UB:Z: tag in the CellRanger bam file, see this example read, the last column:

A00917:642:H52V3DSX2:4:1105:22761:17832 0       chr1    3038735 255     101M117591N49M  *       0       0       AAGTGAGGCAACAGTGGAGATAGAAACACTAGGAAAGAAATCTGGAACCATAGATGCGAGCATCAGCAACAGAATACAAGAAATGGAAGAGAGAATCTCAGGTGCAGAAGATTCCATAGAGAACATCGGCACAACAATCAAAAAAAAAAA        FFF:FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF:F:FFFFFF:FFFF:FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF,FFFFFFFF,FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF:FF        NH:i:1  HI:i:1  AS:i:146        nM:i:0  RG:Z:1_mapped:0:1:H52V3DSX2:4   RE:A:I  xf:i:0  CR:Z:CTATCCGAGGCCACCT   CY:Z:FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF   CB:Z:CTATCCGAGGCCACCT-1 UR:Z:CCCGCCCTGCCA       UY:Z:FFFFFFFFFF:F     UB:Z:CCCGCCCTGCCA

Since it happens to be the last column a simple regex splitting the line at 'UB:Z:' and then taking the right-hand part should do fine.
