[Bioc-devel] readGAlignmentsList and read groups

[Valerie Obenchain]

Hi,

You're right, currently the only 'automatic' grouping is by pairs.

For single-end, grouping by tag would straightforward (assuming this is 
a "match on value" not a procedure of checking bit flags etc.).

For paired-end I'm assuming you want the records first grouped by pairs 
then grouped by tag? Maybe it's worth thinking about putting tags common 
to pairs on the outer list elements vs inner. For data are that aren't 
'too large' this would allow easier sorting/splitting.
