For example, this tool can be used for processing bowtie RNA-seq data.
Each read with k N-cigar elemments is plit to k+1 reads. The split is done by hard clipping the bases rest of the bases.
In order to do it, few changes were introduced to some other clipping methods:
- make a segnificant change in ClippingOp.hardClip() that prevent the spliting of read with cigar: 1M2I1N1M3I.
- change getReadCoordinateForReferenceCoordinate in ReadUtil to recognize Ns
create unitTests for that walker:
- change ReadClipperTestUtils to be more general in order to use its code and avoid code duplication
- move some useful methods from ReadClipperTestUtils to CigarUtils
create integration test for that class

last commit:
Address review comments:
- move to protected under walkers/rnaseq
- change the read splitting methods to be more readable and more efficiant
- change (minor changes) some methods in ReadClipper to allow the changes in split reads
- add (minor change) one method to CigarUtils to allow the changes in split reads
- change ReadUtils.getReadCoordinateForReferenceCoordinate to include possible N in the cigar
- address the rest of the review comments (minor changes)
- fix ReadUtilsUnitTest.testReadWithNs acoording to the defult behaviour of getReadCoordinateForReferenceCoordinate (in case of refernce index that fall into deletion, return the read index of the base before the deletion).
- add another test to ReadUtilsUnitTest.testReadWithNs
- Allow the user to print the split positions (not working proparly currently)
