Possible to output NM aux tag?

[wwood]

Hi,

I'm the maintainer of CoverM, which thresholds SAM alignments using the NM edit distance, used by BWA and minimap2. Is it possible to add this as a tag in the output sam for urmap somehow?

Thanks, ben

Good idea, but it's going to be a while before I can get to this unfortunately.

Any updates on this thread? This is very useful for any downstream coverage depth of reference.

Thanks,
