Read Names Batch

Each batch of relation vectors is a QnamesBatchIO object.

Read names batch: Structure

The read names are in the attribute names, a numpy.ndarray with data type str. The name of the read with number i (see Relate batch: Structure of read numbers for more information) is at index i of the names array.

Read names batch: Example

Suppose a XAM file contains five reads:

Read Number	Read Name
0	`VL00355:66:AACYHM7M5:1:2106:54095:30496`
1	`VL00355:66:AACYHM7M5:1:2303:34554:55259`
2	`VL00355:66:AACYHM7M5:1:2411:30558:38352`
3	`VL00355:66:AACYHM7M5:1:1206:41825:52949`
4	`VL00355:66:AACYHM7M5:1:2506:10903:12605`

The relate step would write a batch with the names attribute

["VL00355:66:AACYHM7M5:1:2106:54095:30496",
 "VL00355:66:AACYHM7M5:1:2303:34554:55259",
 "VL00355:66:AACYHM7M5:1:2411:30558:38352",
 "VL00355:66:AACYHM7M5:1:1206:41825:52949",
 "VL00355:66:AACYHM7M5:1:2506:10903:12605"]

Note that the attribute is shown as a list for visual simplicity, but would really be a numpy.ndarray.
