He probably will not have that if he made a pure mapping, i.e., without 
-SB:abnc=yes. Which is actually what I recommend doing under normal 
circumstances.

But then what can be done is to take unmapped reads (debris file) and simply 
start a de-novo assembly on those and one quickly has the missing pieces 
reconstructed. Works only for insertions though as pure genome shuffling will 
not lead to insertions.
