However, I thought I'd use it for a similar application where I only want reads from one strand.\r\n\r\nIs it correct that we should have equal numbers of reads (within tolerance) from each of the strands?   \r\n\r\nI thought that I could figure out the strand of the simulated fragment by looking at the read ids where this id:\r\n@fastq-id_618_571_1_0_0_0_0:0:0_0:0:0_7/1\r\nwould be on the positive strand because the digit after \"571\" is a 1.    However, I've since started to doubt this understanding because in my 10 million read fragments about 7 million have a 1 in that location.\r\n\r\nIs there a way to get the strand of the simulated fragment from the read name?"}}
