# Filter reads by list of QNAMES

This filter is used to remove specific reads from a SAM file by using a list of unique read identifiers (so-called QNAMES or query names). The list should be formatted as tab-separated CSV file and list the query names in the first column without headers. Any additional columns will be ignored.
