#' Load a sorted BAM file
#'
#' Load a sorted BAM file. Optionally, only reads mapping to a specific set of
#' genomics coordinates are loaded. Only fields strictly necessary to run a
#' wavClusteR analysis are loaded.
#'
#'
#' @usage readSortedBam(filename, which)
#' @param filename Name of the sorted BAM file, including full path to file if
#' it is located outside the current working directory.
#' @param which a GRanges or IntegerRangesList specifying the regions on
#' the reference sequence for which matches are desired. See the documentation
#' of the \code{Rsamtools} package for details.
#' @return a GRanges object containing aligned reads, including read sequence
#' (qseq) and MD tag (MD)
#' @note The input BAM file must be sorted and indexed. Alignment with bowtie
#' or bowtie2, conversion from SAM to BAM output, sorting and indexing using
#' SAMtools is recommended.
