This commit adds comprehensive analysis of different approaches for
adding primer/adapter trimming tags to BAM files in the aa-tRNA-seq
pipeline.

Key points:

  • Analyzed 5 different approaches for storing adapter information
  • Recommend adding custom BAM tags (ts, te, a5, a3) to store tRNA
    boundaries and actual adapter lengths
  • Non-destructive approach preserves alignments needed for Remora
  • Handles truncated adapters correctly
  • Provides implementation plan with code examples

Files added:

  • .github-issue-primer-trimming-tags.md: Detailed technical analysis
  • ISSUE_PRIMER_TRIMMING_TAGS.md: GitHub issue formatted proposal
