[SAMtools] Sort by query names ------------------------------ This wrapper for SAMtools `sort` sorts entries in a BAM file by their query names (unique read identifiers) by running the command :: samtools sort -n - tmp -o and has no additional options. Sorting uses a temporary file with prefix ``tmp`` that will briefly occupy additional storage space in the current work directory if the whole alignment does not fit into memory. .. seealso:: http://samtools.sourceforge.net/samtools.shtml
