Description
SAM specification allows for read alignments to be represented where the ends are "soft-clipped", meaning: they are not reported in the alignment.
An IGB user noticed that older versions of IGB omitted these bases from the view. Instead, they should be shown, with mis-matches. This may have been fixed, but we need to check.
If IGB shows the soft-clipped bases, users can more easily detect re-arrangements and other issues critical to diagnosing genomic defects in clinical samples.
To start, make sure the above description of "soft-clipping" is correct.
