Mike, 

There actually is not a way to get the deleted base(s) from the SAM alone, since SAM displays only the read and not the reference. 

Thanks,
Kelly

Hi All,
 
Does anyone know if there is a way to get the deleted base information that corresponds to the "Extract indels from SAM" output?
 
The output from this tool includes the bases for insertions or "-" for deletions. I want to get the actual bases instead of the "-".
 
I assume there is a way to use the SAM file to extract the information, but if someone already has a nifty way to do it, that would be great.
 
Thanks,
Mike
