Question: read group assignment in align_trim

[gianfilippo]

Hi,

I am just learning how to process Nanopore sequencing data. I am starting from a FASTQ file and trying to understand the artic pipeline.

Could you please explain me how align_trim assigns the read groups ?

Thanks

Hi, I am not a developer, but I also had the same question.
According to the artc docs here, during alignment post-processing, it would do "using the derived amplicon, assign each read a read group based on the primer pool".
